1 Mathematics Curriculum Facilitator Training (a.k.a. Train-the-Trainers) Summer 2013 – Day 1 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Oakland County Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI)

Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) “These standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business. They are a call to take the next step.” Page 5 CCSS Introduction 2

Series Goals Understand the CCSS Initiative and the role of “Trainers” (curriculum facilitators) in this initiative Provide a forum for questions and concerns Better understand the Common Core State Standards for content and practice and their implications for curriculum and instruction Explore the newest CCSSI Units, Highlight Lessons, and Formative Assessments Consider strategies to initiate collegial conversations supporting implementation of these curriculum materials in your district 3

4 Could these standards really be better? How might my colleagues and I continue to make sense of these standards together? What is changing and what is staying the same? Why do the Standards for Mathematical Practice matter? What is the purpose of the MAISA CCSSI Units? Do the MAISA Units replace my textbook?

Frequently Asked Questions Will this curriculum replace my instructional materials? Are the CCSS the current standards in Michigan? Why am I here? No, these materials are designed to support teachers’ use of their instructional materials. They are intended to be tools to guide instruction and provide contexts for professional learning. Yes, the CCSS are Michigan’s Standards. They were officially adopted by the SBE on June 15, The recent legislation does not change our standards, but if it is enacted in October, then our districts here in Michigan could not spend money on these standards and we would not be able to participate with the SBAC states. To be continued… 5

8 Mathematics Standards Standards for Practices Standards for Concepts and Procedures Greater balance of concept and skill development Greater access for all students Major shifts include: Standards for Mathematical Practices Attention toward content as it develops within and across grades levels (trajectories) Teaching with and assessing high demand tasks

Standards for Mathematical Practice “The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students. These practices rest on important ‘processes and proficiencies’ with longstanding importance in mathematics education.” (CCSS, 2010) 9

Standards for Mathematical Practice 10 William McCallum Standards for Mathematical Practice Tucson, April 2011 Reasoning and explaining Modeling and Using tools Seeing structure and generalizing

Common Core State Standards What implications do you foresee as you consider attending to both types of standards? Mathematics Standards for Practice Standards for Concepts and Procedures

Learning Trajectories and the Common Core State Standards “A teacher or test designer seeing exclusively within the grade level will miss the point [of the number line]. Multi-grade progression views of standards can avoid many misuses of standards” (p.43). 12

13 CCSS States and the Balanced Assessment Consortium

Claims for Mathematics Summative Assessment “Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and interpret and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency.” Claim 1: Concepts and Procedures, ≈ 40% “Students can solve a range of complex well-posed problems in pure and applied mathematics, making productive use of knowledge and problem solving strategies.” Claim 2: Problem Solving ≈ 20% “Students can clearly and precisely construct viable arguments to support their own reasoning and to critique the reasoning of others.” Claim 3: Communicating Reasoning ≈ 20% “Students can analyze complex, real-world scenarios and can construct and use mathematical models to interpret and solve problems.” Claim 4: Data Analysis and Modeling ≈ 20% 14

A Balanced Assessment System These new assessment are scheduled to begin in the spring of 2015!

Common Core State Standards Oakland Initiative The goal of the Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI) is to provide support and direction for educators as they move toward full implementation: CCSS are organized into an aligned curriculum of coherent units of study. The resources are particularly designed to highlight needed shifts in content related and pedagogical practices. –Unit Template –Highlight Lesson –Formative Assessment –Resources (video, sample student work, rubrics, instructional websites, etc.)

Teachers and Tasks Matter Stein, Grover & Henningsen (1996) Smith & Stein (1998) Stein, Smith, Henningsen & Silver (2000) The Mathematical Tasks Framework Tasks as set up by teachers Tasks as they appear in curricular materials Tasks as enacted by teachers and students Student learning 22

CCSS Move Toward Greater Connections & Coherence “When students can connect mathematical ideas, their understanding is deeper and more lasting.” (NCTM, 2000 p.64) “When students understand the interrelatedness of mathematics, they often have many more strategies available to them when solving problems and insights into mathematical relationships.” (Hiebert, 1997) “Through instruction that emphasizes the interrelatedness of mathematical ideas, students not only learn mathematics they also learn about the utility of mathematics.” (NCTM, 2000, p.64) “Toward greater focus and coherence” (CCSS, 2010, p.3) 25

Orientation to the Unit Refer to one unit of study for examples that articulate the components of the unit template. 1.What opportunities for helping teachers understand the standards as a set of related ideas and teach the mathematics in a way that emphasizes connections between and among mathematical ideas? 2.How might a single unit support teachers in making both content related and pedagogical shifts in practice? 27

“To help young people learn the more complex and analytical skills they need for the 21 st century, teachers must learn to teach in ways that develop higher- order thinking and performance. Darling-Hammond and Richardson, 2009 To develop the sophisticated teaching required for this mission, education systems must offer more effective professional learning…”

Highlight Lesson 31

Orientation to the Lesson Orient yourself with the format of a Highlight Lesson. 1.Compare a Unit and the corresponding Highlight Lesson, how are they related and how are they unique? 2.What about this lesson format might support teachers in making both content related and pedagogical shifts in practice. 32

Lunch We will reconvene at 12:45 p.m. to begin work on the formative assessment. 33

Formative Assessment: A Difference that Can Make a Difference! Black and Wiliam (1998) report, based on their extensive review of research, typical effect sizes of formative assessment experiments are between 0.4 and 0.7. These results are larger than most instructional innovation strategies. “…the evidence is that ways of managing formative assessment that work with the assumptions of "untapped potential" do help all pupils to learn and can give particular help to those who have previously struggled (Black and Wiliam, p. 11).”

Reengagement A Formative Assessment Strategy Reengagement: is a formative assessment strategy by which teachers use information from student work to design a learning opportunity that is an evolution of the original task and is focused on enhancing students’ current understandings; is grounded in the effective and intentional use of student thinking to forward learning; and requires interactions between and among teachers, students, and the content to be learned. 35
