Standards Development Process
• Summer 2009 - Develop college and career readiness standards
• Develop K-12 learning progressions• Collect multiple rounds of feedback from
states, teachers, researchers, higher education and the general public
• June 2, 2010 - Final Common Core State Standards released
Why is this important?
• Previously, each state had their own academic standards.
• Students will now have less difficulty moving between schools and states.
• All students have clear expectations and skills to compete with both American and international peers.
• Textbooks can have more focus, coherence and rigor.• States can share resources and compare data.

45 States + DC Have Adopted the Math Common Core State Standards

*Minnesota adopted the CCSS in ELA/literacy only

The Common Core State Standards:
Have rigorous content and application of knowledge
Use lessons learned from current state standards
Are internationally benchmarked
Are based on evidence and research
Common Core State Standards
•Fewer, Clearer, Higher–Focus
–Coherence
–Rigor7

Intentional Design Limitations
What the Standards do NOT define:• The nature of advanced work beyond the
core• The interventions needed for students well
below grade level• The full range of support for English
language learners and students with special needs
Standards for Mathematical Practice
These are K-12 standards that describe habits of mind of a mathematically proficient student
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

K-8 Standards presented by grade level• Each grade introductions highlights critical
areas • Organized into domains that progress over
several grades
High School Standards presented by conceptual categories (Number & Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Modeling, Geometry, Statistics & Probability)
Standards for Mathematical Content

CCSSM Vocabulary
Organization of the document
• Standards define what students should understand and be able to do.
• Clusters summarize groups of related standards.
• Domains are larger groups of related standards.
**Standards from different domains and clusters may sometimes be closely related.

K-8K-8
Write and interpret numerical expressions.•5.OA.1. Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols. •5.OA.2. Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.

Putting It All Together
Standards: Important but insufficient
• To be effective in improving education and getting all students ready for college, workforce training, and life, the Standards must be partnered with a content-rich curriculum and robust assessments, both aligned to the Standards.
The Assessment Proposals
The Process:
• Proposals were due from multi-state consortia on June 23, 2010
• Awards were made in September, 2010
• New Consortia tests will replace the current state NCLB tests in 2014-2015
Assessment Consortia
• PARCC – Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career, this is a 24-state consortium that is developing assessments for grades 3-11. (Illinois)
• Smarter Balance – This is the second major consortium developing assessments.
• ASSETS – English Language Proficiency Assessment System – this consortium is developing assessments for English Language Learners. (Illinois)
• DLM – Dynamic Learning Maps Assessment Consortium - this consortium is developing assessments for students with disabilities.
• NCSC – National Center and State Collaborative – this consortium is also developing assessments for students with disabilities.

ANCHORED IN COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS
Claims Driving Design: Mathematics
Students are on-track or ready for college and careers

Goals of the PARCC System
1. Create high-quality assessments
2. Build a pathway to college and career readiness for all students
3. Support educators in the classroom
4. Develop 21st century, technology-based assessments
5. Advance accountability at all levels
6. Build an assessment that is sustainable and affordable
Goal #1: Create High Quality Assessments
21
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 measure3.Measure the full range of student performance, including high and low performing students4.Provide data during the academic year to inform instruction, interventions and professional development5.Provide data for accountability, including measures of growth6.Incorporate innovative approaches throughout the system

PARCC’s assessment will be computer-based and leverage technology in a range of ways to:•Item Development
– Develop innovative tasks that engage students in the assessment process
•Administration– Reduce paperwork, increase security, reduce shipping/receiving & storage
– Increase access to and provision of accommodations for SWDs and ELLs
•Scoring– Make scoring more efficient by combining human and automated approaches
•Reporting– Produce timely reports of students performance throughout the year to inform
instructional, interventions, and professional development

PARCC: More Than Just Another Test
To support state efforts to implement and transition to the Common Core and next generation assessments, PARCC will facilitate:
– Strategic planning and collective problem solving for the implementation of CCSS and PARCC assessments
– Collaborative efforts to develop the highest priority instructional and support tools
– Multi-state support to build leadership cadres of educators
– Multi-state support to engage the postsecondary community around the design and use of the assessments
– Technology transition support for state and district

• What new information did I learn?
• Are there stakeholders in my school/district that still need this information?
• What questions do I have?
