CURRICULUM/ADMIN & TECHNICAL Collaborate and learn the constraints/desires DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND

When did this movement start? When: 2009Where: Chicago Who: Governor's and State Superintendents For more information: In theory – excellent Making it happen???

When did your state adopted Common Core? States had a 90% compliance adoption policy. Common Core: Preparing America’s Students for College and Career.

1.Communications to Stakeholders 2.Curriculum Review/Changes 3.New and Old Assessments 4.Instructional Practices 5.Grading Practices The focus has shifted from curriculum- assessments to and the number of on standard Report Cards

Illinois Standards Task Force - 5 Steps to Success Kathy Dinger, Former Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Libertyville D70, Libertyville, Illinois

MA DESE is a “LOCAL CONTROL” state, NO MANDATE.

What is your state saying/doing?

At every crossway on the road that leads to the future each progressive spirit is opposed by a thousand men appointed to guard the past - Maeterlinck

Change requires continual checking of your stakeholders temperature! ParentsTeachersTech Team

GOOGLE THE RESISTANCE MOVEMENT

Ranking Stop Common Core LIKES on FB South Carolina 5316 Tennessee – 5183 Georgia – 3685 North Carolina

Resistance Movement…May 1 st 42-0 State Senate of SC to replace Common Core

May 3,2013 – Standards Finalized-uploaded to Google Docs May 8,2013 – Onsite development of preK-5 SBRC May 30, 2013 Onsite training of Vanguard Teachers Sept 14, 2013 – Modifications to SBRC and WIDA

Have you addressed the proper techniques in determining a standards based grade? Ken’s Repair Kit for Grading would be excellent PD or Faculty Meeting discussions. PowerTeacher Gradebook has been designed with these principles. Standardized Curriculum Standardized Grading Practices

include student behavior in grades reduce marks for "work" submitted late give points for extra credit or use bonus points consider attendance in grade determination assign grades by comparing students to each other rely on evidence from poor-quality assessments rely simply on averages use the zero for missing evidence or punishment summarize evidence accumulated over time leave students out of the grading process If any of your teachers: They’d benefit from discussing this book!

If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving may not be for you! The most recent score for all is a 4!

What does a 4 or a C really mean and how has your district insured this to happen? All Teachers at a Grade Level in your SCHOOL! All Teachers at a Grade Level in your DISTRICT! Placement – Retention – Special Needs – Gifted Common Core doesn’t recommend performance indicators.

Has your DOE told you what… standards to use? scale to use on assessments? to report to parents? grades to report? NOPE MAYBE

√ √ √ √ √

BEST PRACTICES: CULLING STANDARDS 1.Less is More! In the Gradebook & on the Report Card 2.Grade Level teachers review all available standards (CC,SS,&LS) and CHERRY PICK 3.Consider CC Sub-Category headers 4.Discuss/Decide which will be on the report card and which will only be in the gradebook 5.Provide ample time for UNWRAPPING! 6.Wordsmith any standard over 65/70/75 characters 7. Choose standards that lend themselves to being …..easily associated to an assignment- not all do!

Should Common Core Standards Impact Scheduling? How many courses are you planning to use for English Language Arts? Reading – Writing – Speaking & Listening - Language

PowerSource Common Core Standards ID 7337 Identifiers- Your Courses, Your Conversion Scales

Consider a user friendly schema for standard identifiers Removing a,b,c will save time- import template and report cards

Other “Standards” Sites/CDE Are we using those that you created last year? What about Specials?

Common Core Standards Common Assessments

How did your PILOT GO?

Common Core are guidelines and should be partnered with your curriculum 1.Consider attending Pearson’s CommonCore PSU’s 2.Reflect on today and share with other administrators 3.Draft an Implementation Plan including communication to all stakeholders, professional development & budget 4.Decide to what extent you will involve staff? 5.Cherry Pick your ELA/Math Standards. 6.Create draft of the SBRC before summer.
