CCSS Road Map: 2012-2013
The goal of implementing the Common Core State Standards is to ensure that instruction in our schools is changing dramatically. To accomplish this, the
Common Core instructional shifts need to be visible and observable in all
classrooms.
Successful Practices Network

The Challenges
• Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS)
• Teacher Evaluation Based on Student Performance
• Principal Evaluation Based on Student Performance
• Next Generation Assessments (NGA)
• Updates to CTE regulations and requirements based on
Advisory Panel Recommendations to Board of Regents
Successful Practices Network

What should we be doing to prepare for the next steps:
•Align to CCLS
•Become aware of the CCTC, and
•National Career Clusters, and
•PARCC and NYSED Assessments
•NGAs

Common Career Technical Core
The Common Career Technical Core (CCTC) is a state-led initiative to establish a set of rigorous, high-quality standards for Career Technical Education (CTE) that states can adopt voluntarily. The standards have been informed by state and industry standards and developed by a diverse group of teachers, business and industry experts, administrators and researchers.•National Association of State Directors of Career Technical Education Consortium (NASDCTEc)
•Use National Career Clusters™Framework

Assessments
• Assessment Blueprints are created to inform educators as to which standards are assessed and their weight on the assessment.
• Next Generation Assessments will be aligned to the CCSS, be more rigorous and relevant, include more student-generated artifacts, and be taken online.

Goal #1: Create High Quality Assessments
Priority Purposes of PARCC Assessments:
1.Determine whether students are college- and career-ready or on track
2.Assess the full range of the Common Core Standards, including standards that are difficult to measure
3.Measure the full range of student performance, including the performance high and low performing students
4.Provide data during the academic year to inform instruction, interventions and professional development
5.Provide data for accountability, including measures of growth
6.Incorporate innovative approaches throughout the system

March 2013 Field Memo
Beginning with the current school year (2012-13), NYSED is re-designing its assessment program (http://engageny.org/resource/common-core-implementation-timeline) to measure what students know and can do relative to the grade-level Common Core State Standards. Specific changes to the Grades 3-8 ELA and math tests (http://engageny.org/resource/test-guides-for-english-language-arts-and-mathematics) include the following:
25
Successful Practices Network
www.nyctecenter.org
• Increases in Rigor – The CCSS are back-mapped, grade-by-grade, from college and career readiness. Many of the questions on the Common Core assessments are more advanced and complex than those found on prior assessments that measured prior grade-level standards
26
Successful Practices Network
www.nyctecenter.org
•Focus on Text – To answer ELA questions correctly, students will need to read and analyze each passage completely and closely, and be prepared to carefully consider responses to multiple-choice questions. For constructed response items, students will need to answer questions with evidence gathered from rigorous literature and informational texts. Some texts will express an author’s point of view, with which not all readers will agree.
27
Successful Practices Network
www.nyctecenter.org
• Depth of Math – Students will be expected to understand math conceptually, use prerequisite skills with grade-level math facts, and solve math problems rooted in the real-world, deciding for themselves which formulas and tools (such as protractors or rulers) to use.

Charge to CTE Advisory Panel
…to develop recommendations for strengthening the CTE K-12 learning continuum that forms the instructional base for a CTE graduation pathway.
Memo of Dec. 18, 2012 to P-12 Education Committee from Ken Slentz

Recommendations
Define College and Career Readiness and associated outcomes through the lens of CTE by articulating, amongst other possibilities, the following in regulation and guidance:
•the proficiency requirements in academic skills through Regents exams and other Department-approved alternative assessments that demonstrate the ability to succeed and persist in postsecondary education;•the process for achieving an industry (or other recognized) credential based on industry standards awarded as a result of successfully passing a nationally-recognized technical assessment ;
Successful Practices Network
www.nyctecenter.org
• what evidence of the command of transferable workplace-ready skills (e.g. demonstrated achievement of Career Development Occupational Studies (CDOS/Common Career Technical Core Standards) should be demonstrated;
• the process for attaining postsecondary advanced standing or credit in at least one subject/discipline; and
• how to develop and document the attainment of knowledge and skills required by the Common Core State Standards via current career-path plans.
Common Career Technical Core Standards are nationally recognized Common Core-aligned standards developed by the National Association of State Directors of Career and Technical Education consortium http://www.careertech.org/career-technical-education/cctc/info.html
31
Successful Practices Network
www.nyctecenter.org
Review the rigor, relevance and application of the CDOS standards through the lens of College and Career Readiness to create greater transparency and visibility through the following actions: •reviewing and aligning CDOS standards to Common Core State Standards/Common Career Technical Core Standards in the context of the recognized 16 career clusters;•emphasizing K-12 career readiness planning and development; •adding career readiness measures to student report cards starting in middle grades based on state-developed criteria;•identifying and sharing multiple and innovative models of curriculum (through modules, units, lessons) and instruction at the middle level and high school;•providing sustained career ready-related professional development to P-12 and higher education institutions; and•requiring easily transferable electronic portfolio career plans (and planning) for all students.
32
Successful Practices Network
www.nyctecenter.org
Increase opportunities for early and equitable access to quality College and Career Ready aligned CTE programs by:
•providing a process to create incentives for the development of innovative programs that follow the blueprint for the reauthorization of the federal Carl D. Perkins Act; •providing tools and processes to align current CTE courses and programs to the Common Core;•developing a series of exemplars/models for broader middle level CTE and integrated courses for academic credit in grades 9 and 10 to generate and sustain student interest in a career pathway;•increasing the potential for student engagement by providing more flexibility that would allow school districts to substitute CTE courses for other graduation requirements (e.g: greater and earlier access to integrated course work).
33
Successful Practices Network
www.nyctecenter.org
Review assessment design, including formative, interim and summative assessments and consider:
•including items with career readiness components and applications of knowledge; •measuring applied career readiness across all curricular areas; and•requiring, in line with the science Regents exam model, that students complete a career project related to that discipline before sitting for the exams in math, social studies and ELA
34

Reinforce existing regulations and training for career counseling with both in-service and pre-service levels by having all students utilize a career planning tool such as Career Zone starting as early in their education as practical
