Common Core Implementation Rises to the Challenge

Leveraging Technology to Support Learning and Teaching

English Language Arts & Literacy

Key Design Considerations offers a portrait of students who meet the Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects.

“They use technology and digital media strategically and capably. Students employ technology thoughtfully to enhance their reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language use. They tailor their searches online to acquire useful information efficiently, and they integrate what they learn using technology with what they learn offline. They are familiar with the strengths and limitations of various technological tools and mediums and can select and use those best suited to their communication goals.” (source: p. 5, http://www.engageny.org/sites/default/files/resource/attachments/nysp12cclsela.pdf)

Common Core ELA & Literacy

Writing Standard 6

Grade 4With some guidance and support from adults, use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing as well as to interact and collaborate with others. (29)Grade 8Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and present therelationships between information and ideas efficiently as well as to interact and collaborate with others. (56)

Speaking & Listening Standard 5

Grade 9-10Make strategic use of digital media (e.g., textual, graphical, audio, visual, and interactive elements) in presentations to enhance understanding of findings, reasoning, and evidence and to add interest. (64)

Common Core Math

Standards for Mathematical Practice5. Use appropriate tools strategically. Mathematically proficient students consider the available tools when solving a mathematicalproblem. These tools might include pencil and paper, concrete models, a ruler, a protractor, acalculator, a spreadsheet, a computer algebra system, a statistical package, or dynamic geometrysoftware….Mathematically proficient students at various grade levels are able to identifyrelevant external mathematical resources, such as digital content located on a website, and usethem to pose or solve problems. They are able to use technological tools to explore and deepentheir understanding of concepts. (source: p. 6, http://engageny.org/sites/default/files/resource/attachments/nysp12cclsmath.pdf)

High School FunctionsFunctions presented as expressions can model many important phenomena. A graphing utility or a computer algebra system can be used to experiment with properties of functions and their graphs and to build computational models of functions. Because functions describe relationships between quantities, they are frequently used in modeling. Sometimes functions are defined by a recursive process, which can be displayed effectively using a spreadsheet or other technology. (57)

High School Statistics & ProbabilityTechnology plays an important role in statistics and probability by making it possible to generate plots, regression functions, and correlation coefficients, and to simulate many possible outcomes in a short amount of time. (68)

Preparing Our Students for Their Technological World

Learning technology prepares students to demonstrate knowledge and skill using the tools they will need to be college- and career-ready.

The Board of Regents and the New York State Education Department (NYSED) have set a course to prepare the State’s P-12 education system for a transition to computer-based testing (CBT) as a way for students to be ready for college and career.

New York is a PARCC Governing State Technology Readiness Tool Statewide CBT Work Group CBT Field Guidance

Technology Readiness Tool (TRT)

NYSED has developed guidance to support data collection by

districts and schools (public, non-public, and charter).

NYSED Technology Readiness Tool Overview

http://www.p12.nysed.gov/technology/trt.pdf



NYSED has created a technical assistance network for districts andschools in partnership with RIC Directors and BOCES TechnologyCoordinators.

NYSED Strategy

RIC and BOCES access to all district/school data in region as a TRT point-of-contact.

Weekly status updates to District Superintendents and RIC Directors on number and percentage of component districts with points-of-contact and data submission.

Breakdown of points-of-contact to RIC Directors and BOCES upon request.



Statewide Usage of the Technology Readiness Tool

Nov. 15 Nov. 29 Dec. 6

Number of Public School Districts In TRT 695 695 695

Number of Public School Districts With Assigned User 547 566 566

Percent of Districts in TRT with Assigned User 78.71% 81.44% 81.44%

Number of Districts Reporting Any Devices 196 214 233

Percent of Districts in TRT Reporting Any Devices 28.20% 30.79% 33.53%

Technology Readiness Tool

All future correspondence regarding the TechnologyReadiness Tool will be through your district’s contactperson.

Please submit the name, title, and email address ofyour district’s point person [email protected].

NYSED CBT Field Guidance – Future Growth?

Consider the budget and resource allocation

decisions needed based on different stakeholders in

your district or region.

Identify the primary community stakeholders in your district/region (e.g., student, teacher, parent, administrator, Board member).

For each stakeholder identified, list an essential question and a promising practice or model to address that question.
