The Teaching Channel• Videos of Common Core Lessons for

Teachers• There are over 80 free videos

related to Common Core instruction available on the Teaching

• Channel. The videos provide lesson ideas, an overview of the ELA and Math standards, and

• demonstrations of teaching practices. Videos vary in length from five to thirty minutes.

CCSS Mathematics Resources

Inside Mathematics• http://insidemathematics.org a

site that features classroom examples of innovative teaching methods and insights into student learning and tools for mathematics instruction. To illustrate the CCSS for Mathematical Practice, links are provided for each individual practice standard correlated to excerpts of mathematics lessons.

The Illustrative Math Project• http://illustrativemathematics.org)• This project aims to illustrate each of

the standards using high-quality reviewed tasks from teacher leaders. The site provides guidance to all stakeholders implementing the CCSS by illustrating the range and types of mathematical work that students will experience and other implementation tools. The Web site continues to be updated, with illustrated standards added on a regular basis. Contributors and advisors to the project include common core authors William McCallum, Jason Zimba, and Phil Daro.

CCSS ResourcesShoob Photography• In limited quantities, there is no

charge for the booklets. I'll send two additional sets down to you so you, Zona and Rick can each have a set. In larger quantities, we would need to make some charge to cover our costs. The PDFs of the ELA K6 booklets are available for download at http://shoobphoto.com/school_support/star_support

• We used the CDE documents to

prepare our booklets so all the California revisions should be there.

CDE will offer Modules to Transition to the Common Core:

Module Design and Delivery

• Provide a Facilitator’s Guide. • Provide interactive training that allows for discussion,

requires participation, and supports adult learning.• Offer presentation options and resources for educator

participation.• Include material so that participants can:

– select grade span– problem solve situations involving special populations– focus on subject matter– skip selections already mastered

• Provide opportunities to practice new skills and discuss possible solutions to the identified challenges.

Technology Readiness—SBAC

CDE will collect baseline data from districts and schools to help determine the minimum requirements for

technology. Therefore, the first data collection window will be a technology readiness inventory. Data collection summaries will be available. These

reports will help improve data quality and to inform the two consortia regarding which types of hardware

and operating systems are currently being used in schools.

Tech Readiness Data Collection

The California statewide Technology Readiness data collection window will open April 16, 2012

and end June 14, 2012. This tool will help identify how ready schools are to support a system of

online assessments. will be sending an email to Technology Directors in each district across

California.

What do we do next?

• Continue to SHARE Information with colleagues

• Implement CCS in teaching using the “crosswalk”

• In the Fall, recommend supplementary materials for purchase

• Participate in CDE training modules• USE Common Core Resources
