State Context 2012-13 CCSS Systems Webinar.Part 1.9/12/124 McCleary Decision and Implications Legislative obligation to fully fund Basic Education New Flexibility with ESEA Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Requirements effective in 2012-13 WA Teacher and Principal Evaluation Project New criteria for all districts starting with 2013-14 year Statewide implementation of CCSS and assessment system transitions

Superintendent Dorns Priorities 2011-2014 2012-13 CCSS Systems Webinar.Part 1.9/12/125 OSPIs Mission: To provide funding, resources, tools, data and technical assistance to educators so that they can help students to be successful in our public schools and in college and careers. 1) Meet our Constitutional Obligation to Fully-fund our Public Schools 2) Improve Achievement for ALL Students Reduce the opportunity gap Reduce the dropout rate Increase STEM opportunities Provide additional student supports 3) Improve our Student Assessment System 4) Expand Career and Technical Education (CTE) 5) Expand and Enhance Early Learning Opportunities

ESEA Flexibility BACKGROUND FOR ESEA FLEXIBILITY REQUEST EXCERPTS FROM JULY 19, 2012 WEBINAR FOR MORE INFORMATION: HTTP://WWW.K12.WA.US/ESEA/PUBLICNOTICE.ASPX KEY DOCUMENTS: ESEA FLEXIBILITY REQUEST FAQS USE OF TITLE I AND ESEA FLEXIBILITY HTTP://WWW.K12.WA.US/ESEA/PUBLICNOTICE.ASPX ESEA FLEXIBILITY REQUEST FAQS 6

ESEA Flexibility WHY DID WASHINGTON STATE APPLY? This is the right decision for Washington State. Over 1176 schools and 113 districts across our state were identified as in improvement based on 2010-11 state assessments. And, by 2014, nearly every school and district would be identified as in improvement. So we know our current AYP system doesnt work. We need a new way to measure progress and provide resources to support our work. This request gives us the opportunity to set new annual learning targets and frees up to $58 million across our state to address the needs of struggling students and schools. It provides the flexibility Washington needs to ensure ALL students graduate with college- and career-ready skills. Randy Dorn Superintendent of Public Instruction 7

ESEA Flexibility WHAT DOES ESEA FLEXIBILITY REQUIRE FROM STATES? PRINCIPLES 1-3 1. Ensure college- and career-ready expectations for all students (Common Core State Standards [CCSS] and Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium [SBAC] in Washington) 2. Implement state-developed system of differentiated recognition, accountability, and support 3. Support effective instruction and leadership (Teacher and Principal Evaluation Project [TPEP] in Washington) 4. Reduce duplication and unnecessary burden on school districts by the State 8

ESEA Flexibility WHAT DOES ESEA FLEXIBILITY PROVIDE FOR STATES? Highlights: 1.Flexibility to determine new ambitious and achievable annual targets for reading, mathematics, and graduation rates. 2.Elimination of AYP determinations and associated sanctions for schools in improvement, including 20% set- aside of Title I, Part A funds for Public School Choice and Supplemental Education Services and 10% set-aside for professional development for schools. 3.Elimination of associated sanctions for districts in improvement and the 10% set-aside for professional development for districts. 9

ESEA Flexibility PRINCIPLE 2 OVERVIEW Principle 2: Implement state- developed system of differentiated recognition, accountability, and support. 17

ESEA Flexibility STATES MUST: Set ambitious, but achievable, Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) Identify: Reward schools: Provide incentives and recognition for high- progress and highest performing Title I schools Priority schools: Identify lowest-performing schools and implement interventions aligned with the turnaround principles Focus schools: Identify and implement meaningful interventions (i.e., turnaround principles) in schools with the lowest performing subgroups Emerging schools: Identify other low-performing Title I schools and provide incentives and support Build state, district, and school capacity 18

ESEA Flexibility ACCOUNTABILITY EVOLUTION WITH ESEA REQUEST ESEA Request Accountability System Used to identify Reward, Priority, Focus, and Emerging schools Washington States New Accountability System Used to identify Reward, Priority, Focus, and Emerging schools for Title I and non- Title I schools School Improvement Uses AYP calculations to identify schools and districts in a step of improvement (Title I) Uses PLA Methodology based on AYP calculations to generate list of Persistently Lowest Achieving Schools (PLAs) SBE/OSPI Achievement Index Used to identify Award Schools AYP Determinations Sanctions for schools and districts in improvement Set-asides required for Public School Choice and Supplemental Education Services Up to 2011-12 2012-13 and 2013-14 2014-15 and beyond AMO Calculations Annual targets intended to close proficiency gaps by half by 2017; uses 2011 as baseline and adds equal annual increments (1/6 of proficiency gap) to get to 2017 target; each subgroup, school, district, and state have unique annual targets. Calculations reported on Report Card No AYP sanctions based on identification of schools and districts in improvement Requires districts to set aside up to 20% for Priority, Focus, and Emerging Schools 19

Our guiding beliefs and approach for CCSS Implementation in WA 2012-13 CCSS Systems Webinar.Part 1.9/12/1226 2-Prongs: 1. The What: Content Shifts (for students and educators) Belief that past standards implementation efforts have provided a strong foundation on which to build for CCSS; HOWEVER there are shifts that need to be attended to in the content. 2. The How: System Remodeling Belief that successful CCSS implementation will not take place top down or bottom up it must be both, and Belief that districts across the state have the conditions and commitment present to engage wholly in this work. Professional learning systems are critical

2012-13 CCSS Systems Webinar.Part 1.9/12/12 27 1. What do all students need to know and be able to do as a result of the CCSS? 2. What do the adults in the system need to know and be able to do to support all students? 3. How do we design a professional learning system to support them? Webinar Handout 1

The WHAT: The Shifts within the CCSS 2012-13 CCSS Systems Webinar.Part 1.9/12/12 28

Grecian Urn analogy In the Common Core State Standards, individual statements of what students are expected to understand and be able to do are embedded within domain headings and cluster headings designed to convey the structure of the subject. The Standards refers to all elements of the designthe wording of domain headings, cluster headings, and individual statements; the text of the grade level introductions and high school category descriptions; the placement of the standards for mathematical practice at each grade level. The pieces are designed to fit together, and the standards document fits them together, presenting a coherent whole where the connections within grades and the flows of ideas across grades are as visible as the story depicted on the urn. Fragmenting the Standards into individual standards, or individual bits of standards, erases all these relationships and produces a sum of parts that is decidedly less than the whole. Arranging the Standards into new categories also breaks their structure. It constitutes a remixing of the Standards. There is meaning in the cluster headings and domain names that is not contained in the numbered statements beneath them. Remove or reword those headings and you have changed the meaning of the Standards; you now have different Standards; you have not adopted the Common Core. The Structure is the Standards (http://commoncoretools.me/2012/02/16/the-structure-is-the-standards/)http://commoncoretools.me/2012/02/16/the-structure-is-the-standards/ 2012-13 CCSS Systems Webinar.Part 1.9/12/12 29

Shifts in ELA 1.Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and informational texts in addition to literature 2.Reading and writing grounded in evidence from the text 3.Regular practice with complex text and its academic vocabulary These apply to content area (social studies, science, and technical subject) teachers as well as to English teachers. Shifts in Mathematics 1.Focus: 2-3 topics focused on deeply in each grade 2.Coherence: Concepts logically connected from one grade to the next and linked to other major topics within the grade 3.Rigor: Fluency with arithmetic, application of knowledge to real world situations, and deep understanding of mathematical concepts Common Core ELA and Math Shifts 2012-13 CCSS Systems Webinar.Part 1.9/12/12 30

Building Educator Capacity is KEY 2012-13 CCSS Systems Webinar.Part 1.9/12/1231 Current teachers mush receive extensive professional development on the Common Core standards, curricular materials, and strategies on teaching that now require students to delve deeper and develop critical thinking and analytical skills that previous standards did not adequately address ~ National Association of State Boards of Education (2011)

The HOW: System Remodeling To Support Professional Learning 33 2012-13 CCSS Systems Webinar.Part 1.9/12/12

KY Professional Learning Taskforce Report, 2012 2012-13 CCSS Systems Webinar.Part 1.9/12/1234 Professional learning is a comprehensive, sustained, and intensive approach to increase student achievement that strengthens and improves educators effectiveness in meeting individual, team, school, district, and state goals. Professional learning is not an isolated event or a set of events; rather it is ongoing, relevant, job-embedded learning for educators at all stages of career development. Professional learning supports educators in meeting and exceeding standards of performance, implementing new initiatives, and refining professional practice to increase student achievement.

A Resource for Considering Professional Learning Systems (webinar Handout 2) 2012-13 CCSS Systems Webinar.Part 1.9/12/1235 Sample questions to inform decision making around professional learning (pp. 8- 9): How does our current professional learning system address equity for student and educator learning through resource allocation, design of professional learning, and high expectations and support for implementation of learning? How does our emerging educator effectiveness system integrate professional learning supports to strengthen individual teachers at various career stages and with differentiated needs and to support school and district goals and program implementation?
