Olde Providence ES2012-2013 End-of-Year Assessment Results
November 2013

• In 2010, NC joined other states in adopting the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), which define what students need to know and be able to do at each grade level to graduate ready for college and careers.
• Beginning in 2012-13, North Carolina public school students are now required to meet a higher standard of proficiency on their End-of-Grade (EOG) and End-of- Course (EOC) tests.
• The new CCSS are a good thing—they are more challenging and focus on how students can apply the information they learn rather than simply memorizing the information.
• The demands of the assessments and the scores required to reach proficiency are now at a higher level.

• Frequently, when state tests change, scores drop dramatically. In the past, North Carolina has experienced decreases in proficiency levels when new standards have been set.
• Decreases in proficiency do not mean that students are learning less or that educators are not teaching well.
• North Carolina is not alone in this transition. New York, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Florida recently administered Common Core – aligned assessments and each state experienced substantial drops in proficiency. Many other states across the country will report similar results this year and next, reflecting the adoption of more rigorous standards.

The Work Ahead
• We have work to do• The bar has been raised and we will rise to it• We are looking at “how do we do things differently”• Maximizing Core Instruction Time• Resources funneled into Core Instruction• Third Grade Reading and 4th Grade Reading are prioritized•OP is successful with kids and that same commitment to our children for learning is present.

This is an example of how we used to teach.

To prepare people to be workers in the industrial age.
19
But today, teachers are tasked with making students college and career ready, to prepare them for a work force that may not exist yet. The ability to communicate, think critically and collaborate are key skills for students to learn.
