Common Core 101
National Indian Education Association | www.niea.org
Facilitated by: RunningHorse Livingston

of Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
• Share ideas for overcoming obstacles and
accomplishing the work ahead.
• Review steps needed to implement CCSS.

Positive Change
• Tower Soudan School (Nett Lake Reservation)
• 28.8% math proficiency (all testing grades)
• Jumped to 91.3% in one year
• St. Louis County Schools (2,286 students)
• Native American math achievement gap 22%
• 2013 – 0% gap (3 years)
Why CCSS?
• Standards in the same subject areas can vary greatly from state to state. Not good for transient populations.
• Assessments, which are tied to individual state standards, also vary widely. Creates disparities in ability levels.
• United States is increasingly less competitive globally. Impoverished communities remain impoverished.

MYTH FACTCommon Core Standards
• Federal government required states to
adopt the Standards.
• State Common Core adoption is
voluntary.
• Common Core Standards include all
core academic subjects.
• Common Core Standards includes only
mathematics and English language arts
Standards.• Common Core Standards will fully
prepare students for college and their
careers.
• Students need more than reading and
math proficiency to be fully ready for
college and their careers.
• Common Core Standards are a national
curriculum that dictates what and how
every educator must teach.
• Standards are not a curriculum.
• States developed the Standards.• Common Core Standards were developed
by the federal government.
• Common Core Standards will assume local
control of schools.
• Schools maintain responsibility for setting
vision, mission, and executing approaches
for supporting student success.

Benefits for Native students?
• Standards (curriculum and assessments) aligned across states could mitigate interruptions or disconnects in learning for students who are mobile between public, Bureau of Indian Education, and tribal schools.
• CCSS requires that all students receive same relevant program of instruction:– Algebra would be offered in the same grade and to all students
– Offering higher level course offerings such as Calculus or Advanced Placement English.
– School that are under-funded and understaffed could plan for digital learning; building collaborative partnerships with other school districts to meet the needs of all students.
Benefits for Native students
• Requires all teachers to master the same content area across all states,
allowing states and school districts to focus professional development
funding on ensuring effective instructional strategies.
• Opportunity for communities to expand instructional competencies to
include own histories, languages, and cultures, along with the dedicated
time for professional development in these areas.

Common Core Standards &
Culture Based Education
…the grounding of instruction and student
learning in ways of being, knowing, and
doing; including the values, norms,
knowledge, beliefs, practices, experiences,
and language that are the foundation of an
indigenous culture.
Kana‘iaupuni (2008)
What is Culture Based Education (CBE)?

CBE is what makes sense of the
Common Core
� CBE provides relevant context and content to achieving
the standards.
� CBE connects various standards within & across
disciplines in meaningful, conceptual ways.
� CBE provides applicative ways for students to see
themselves in the learning.
�Others??
Learning by watching
“This process depends on the observer's
ability to code or structure the
information in an easily remembered form
or to mentally or physically rehearse the
model's actions.”
Albert Bandura
Observational Learning

Community orientation
“Strength is the willingness to take risks in
a relationship, to disclose yourself with
the intention of building a better
relationship.”
David W. Johnson
Cooperative Learning
Oral History
“They (proficient students) justify their
conclusions, communicate them to others,
and respond to the arguments of others.”

Learning from Mistakes
“Students are fallible creators who make
trial conjectures and formulate
trial skills and then eliminate the errors
uncovered by criticism and critical
selection”.
Henry J. Perkinson
Learning from Our Mistakes
Personal Sovereignty
“Our culture places a very high premium
on self-expression, but is relatively
disinterested in producing ‘selves’ that are
worth expressing.”
Matthew Kelly

Teachers are guides
“I never teach my pupils; I only attempt to
provide the conditions in which they can
learn.”
Albert Einstein
Experiential Learning
“To fully develop the whole person
requires an educational culture that
promotes diverse learning spaces and
locomotion among them.”
David A. Kolb
Experience Based Learning Systems

Interpersonal Relationships
“If I know you're very good in music, I can
predict with just about zero accuracy
whether you're going to be good or bad in
other things.”
Howard Gardner
Multiple Intelligence
Evaluating Mastery
“Smarter Balanced is grounded in the
notion that putting good information
about student performance in the hands
of teachers can have a profound impact on
instruction and—as a result—on student
learning.”
Dr. Joe Willhoft

Next Steps in the CCSS Implementation
Process
• Professional Development in new instructional strategies
for teachers, para-professionals, and school leaders.
• Professional Development in new assessment delivery and
data analysis for teachers, para-professionals, school
leaders, school board members, parents, and stakeholders.
• How parents can support their child’s learning:
