Increasing Data RequirementsPositive Student Behavior Supports

Professional Development“A comprehensive, sustained,

intensive, and collaborative approach to improving

teachers’ and principals’ effectiveness in raising student

achievement.”

Learning Forward, 2012.

Professional Learning BeliefsEvery student learns when every educator

engages in effective professional learning.Schools’ most complex problems are best

solved by educators collaborating and learning together.

Remarkable professional learning begins with ambitious goals for students.

Student learning increases when educators reflect on professional practice and student progress.

Goals:Fewer, clearer, and higher level standards.Standards aligned with college and work

expectations.Internationally benchmarked standardsConsistent learning expectations across

states.

Common Core State StandardsBased on evidence and research.Focused and coherent to allow for in-depth

learning.Cumulative progression of knowledge and

skill.Rigorous content and application of

knowledge through higher-order skills.Incorporate standards of excellence found in

high achieving countries.

Why CCSS?63% of jobs nationwide will require some

post-secondary education by 2018.64% of Oregon jobs will require post-

secondary education.Of this 64%,54% will require vocational training,

certification, or associate degree.46% will require a bachelor or graduate

degree.

English/ Language ArtsKey Ideas

Literacy in Social Science, Science, and Technical Subjects:Explain how a simple machine works (Science)Compare/ Contrast world events (Social

Science)Justify a solution to a problem (Mathematics)Academic vocabulary in all content areas.

Read and understand more challenging text.Emphasize use of materials to be read for

information.Emphasize writing to inform and for

argument.

English/ Language ArtsSix Shifts

Increase reading of informational text.Increase in text complexity.Building academic vocabulary.Using text-based answers; evidence-

supported arguments.Use of evidence in writing.Literacy instruction in all content

areas.

MathematicsKey Ideas

Balanced combination of procedural skill and understanding, requiring students to ‘explain’ and ‘justify’ rather than ‘define’ and ‘identify’.

Standards for mathematical practice.Content focus at each grade level allows for

in-depth study.Standards for mathematical content:

K-8 standards by grade levelHigh school standards by conceptual theme.

MathematicsFocus Areas

Kindergarten – 5th GradeEstablishes foundation of using and

understanding whole numbers, fractions, and decimals.

6th Grade – 8th GradePreparation for geometry, algebra, and

probability and statistics.9th Grade – 12th Grade

Emphasis on applying math to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace.

MathematicsThree Shifts

Focus strongly where the standards focus.

Think across grades and link major topics within grades.

Require fluency, application, and deep understanding.

Mathematical PracticesMake sense of problems and persevere in solving

them.Reason abstractly and quantitatively.Construct viable arguments and critique the

reasoning of others.Model with mathematics.Use appropriate tools strategically.Attend to precision.Look for and make use of structure.Look for and express regularity in repeated

reasoning.

Oregon Governor’s GoalDevelopment of Oregon Education Investment Board.100% high school graduation rate by 2025– students

who will begin kindergarten in 2012-2013.By 2025, the following will be true of adult

Oregonian’s:40% will have earned a bachelor’s degree or higher;40% will have earned an associate’s degree or post-

secondary credential; and20% or less will have earned a high school diploma or

its equivalent.Achievement Compacts established between OEIB

and individual Oregon school districts.
