Case for Supporting Common Core State Standards Common Core State Standards “Fewer, higher, clearer” expectations Framework for meaningful K-16 “alignment” Opportunity to address equity issues in college preparation and readiness Case for Incorporating Smarter Balanced Assessment into Placement Process Smarter Balanced Assessment Improvement over existing tools (cost, item variety and range, …) Transparency and ownership Opportunity to create incentive for more students to get “college-ready” in high school

Using the 11 th Grade Assessment  College Placement  Full or conditional exemption from developmental course work when entering college  Need to define what evidence of continued learning will be considered appropriate for conditional exemption  Strengthen 12 th Grade “Launch Year”  Encourage dual credit courses for students who are college-ready  Provide targeted curriculum for students who are not yet college-ready

 Developing common understanding of academic “rigor” and grades, not just course titles, topics  Creating opportunities for shared inquiry about discipline and teaching/learning  Building relational trust between college faculty and high school teachers Making K-16 Alignment Meaningful by:

Core to College System Policy Timetable System policy work group (Fall 2013) Cross- sector summit gathering (Fall 2014) Confirm SB participation commitment (before January 2015) Develop specific proposal for SB use in higher education Review and endorse proposal Showcase local school/ college partnerships System group and institutional review (Winter Spring 2014)
