Common Core State Standards
Moore Public SchoolsFall 2011
What are the Common Core State Standards? Aligned with college and work expectations Include rigorous content and application of knowledge
through high-order skills Build upon strengths and lessons of current state
standards Internationally benchmarked so that all students are
prepared to succeed in our global economy and society State led – coordinated by NGA Center and CCSSO
Standards Development Process
College and career readiness standards developed in summer 2009
Based on the college and career readiness standards, K-12 learning progressions developed
Multiple rounds of feedback from states, teachers, researchers, higher education, and the general public
Final Common Core State Standards released on June 2, 2010
Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers
Consortium of 25 states
PARCC
PARCC States
Governing States
Participating States
While the Common Core State Standards are a critical first step, they alone will not bring about the instructional changes necessary to improve student achievement and attainment
Creating common assessments grounded in common standards is the logical next step
Assessments aligned to the Common Core will help ensure the new standards truly reach every classroom
Why Common, Next-Generation Assessments?
6
Include “through-course” assessments in each grade in addition to end-of-year tests to produce a more complete picture of student performance
Provide a common measure of college and career readiness, including a college-ready cut score
Leverage new technologies in assessment and reporting to get timely and actionable student data to educators and parents
PARCC Assessment will…
Include a range of item types that allow for the assessment of higher-order skills and measure the CCSS in full.
Measure students’ mastery of CCSS and mitigate challenges associated with student mobility by ensuring students will have the same expectations wherever they live
PARCC Assessment will…
2010-11 School Year: Launch and design phase
2011-12 School Year: Development begins
2012-13 School Year: First year pilot/field testing and related
research and data collection
2013-14 School Year: Second year pilot/field testing and
related research and data collection
2014-15 School Year: Full operational administration of
PARCC assessments
Summer 2015: Set achievement levels, including college-ready
performance levels

Key Advances
STANDARDS FORMATHEMATICS
JUNE 2010
Design and Organization
Standards for Mathematical Practice Carry across all grade levels Describe habits of mind of a mathematically expert student
Standards for Mathematical Content K-8 standards presented by grade level Organized into domains that progress over several grades Grade introductions give 2–4 focal points at each grade level High school standards presented by conceptual theme
(Number & Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Modeling, Geometry, Statistics & Probability)
Design and Organization
Content standards define what students should understand and be able to do
Clusters are groups of related standards Domains are larger groups that progress across grades
Design and OrganizationGrade Level Overviews
Key Advances
Focus and coherence Focus on key topics at each grade level. Coherent progressions across grade levels.Balance of concepts and skills Content standards require both conceptual understanding and
procedural fluency.Mathematical practices Foster reasoning and sense-making in mathematics.College and career readiness Level is ambitious but achievable.
Intentional Design Limitations
What the Standards do NOT define: How teachers should teach All that can or should be taught The nature of advanced work beyond the core The interventions needed for students well below grade level The full range of support for English language learners and
students with special needs Everything needed to be college and career ready
Sample Performance Tasks
Analyze how Abraham Lincoln in his “Second Inaugural Address” examines the ideas that led to the Civil War, paying particular attention to the order in which the points are made, how Lincoln introduces and develops his points, and the connections that are drawn among them.
Focused Literacy
Compare what the latest science tells us about Genetically Modified food against the arguments offered for and against Genetically Modified food. Evaluate the hypotheses, data, analysis, and conclusions of each side, including determining the extent to which each side in the debate over Genetically Modified food relies on the available science, argues from an economic perspective or appeals to political and emotional concerns. Verify the data from each author and corroborate or challenge the conclusions with other sources of information.
Extended Research/Writing
Cite strong and thorough textual evidence from John Keats’s “Ode on a Grecian Urn” to support an analysis of what the poem says explicitly about the urn as well as what can be inferred about the urn from evidence in the poem. Based on a close reading, draw inferences from the test regarding what meanings the figures decorating the urn convey as well as noting where the poem leaves matters about the urn and its decoration uncertain.
Focused Literacy
Informational Texts (Grades 2-3)
Students describe the reasons behind Joyce Milton’s statement that bats are nocturnal in her Bats: Creatures of the Night and how she supports the points she is making in the text. [RI.2.8]
Informational Texts (Grades 4-5)
Students compare and contrast a firsthand account of African American ballplayers in the Negro Leagues to a secondhand account of their treatment found in books such as Kadir Nelson’s We Are the Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball, attending to the focus of each account and the information provided by each. [RI.4.6]
Informational Texts (Grades 6-8 )
Students trace the line of argument in Winston Churchill’s “Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat” address to Parliament and evaluate his specific claims and opinions in the text, distinguishing which claims are supported by facts, reasons, and evidence, and which are not. [RI.6.8]

Our school has to select a girl for the long jump at the regional championship. Three girls are in contention. We have a school jump-off. Their results, in meters, are given in the accompanying table.
Hans says, “Aisha has the longest average. She should go to the championship.” Do you think Hans is right? Explain your reasoning.

Which statement is true about the relation shown on the graph?
1) It is a function because there exists one x-coordinate for each y-coordinate.
2) It is a function because there exists one y-coordinate for each x-coordinate.
3) It is not a function because there are multiple y-values for a given x-value.
4) It is not a function because there are multiple x-values for a given y-value.
Sample Performance Tasks for Mathematics
Standards for K-12 English/Language Arts and Mathematics
The number and frequency of tests The focus on reading and writing
throughout the curriculum Test results that are comparable to other
states
What changes
All other standards within PASS Testing through 2013-14 school year Work in curriculum committees throughout
the district to establish calendars, benchmark tests
Disaggregation of data to show strengths and weaknesses by district, school, class, and subgroup
What stays the same
What happens to the other tests we currently give (5th grade Science, Social Studies, Writing; 7th grade Geography, 8th grade Science, Social Studies, Writing; the EOIs)?
How will this affect the ACE graduation requirements?
How long will assessments take? Will assessments be scored instantly?
