WA CCSS Implementation Timeline Phase 1: CCSS Exploration Phase 2: Build Awareness & Begin Building Statewide Capacity Phase 3: Build State & District Capacity and Classroom Transitions Phase 4: Statewide Application and Assessment Ongoing: Statewide Coordination and Collaboration to Support Implementation CCSSM Webinar 12/18/125
Theory of Practice for CCSS Implementation in WA CCSSM Webinar 12/18/12 2-Prongs: 1. The What: Content Shifts (for students and educators) Belief that past standards implementation efforts have provided a strong foundation on which to build for CCSS; HOWEVER there are shifts that need to be attended to in the content. 2. The How: System Remodeling Belief that successful CCSS implementation will not take place top down or bottom up – it must be both, and… Belief that districts across the state have the conditions and commitment present to engage wholly in this work. Professional learning systems are critical 6
These standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business. CCSSM, page 5 CCSSM Webinar 12/18/127
The 3 Shifts in CCSSM Focus strongly where the standards focus Coherence: Think across grades and link to major topics within grades Rigor: In major topics, pursue with equal intensity: Conceptual understanding Procedural skill and fluency Application CCSSM Webinar 12/18/128
Shift One: Focus strongly where the Standards focus Move away from "mile wide, inch deep" curricula identified in TIMSS. Learn from international comparisons. Teach less, learn more. Less topic coverage can be associated with higher scores on those topics covered because students have more time to master the content that is taught. – Ginsburg et al., 2005 CCSSM Webinar 12/18/129
Focus in International Comparisons TIMSS and other international comparisons suggest that the U.S. curriculum is a mile wide and an inch deep. …On average, the U.S. curriculum omits only 17 percent of the TIMSS grade 4 topics compared with an average omission rate of 40 percent for the 11 comparison countries. The United States covers all but 2 percent of the TIMSS topics through grade 8 compared with a 25 percent noncoverage rate in the other countries. High-scoring Hong Kongs curriculum omits 48 percent of the TIMSS items through grade 4, and 18 percent through grade 8. – Ginsburg et al., 2005 CCSSM Webinar 12/18/1210
Attaining Focus in early grades K-2 is a master class in addition and subtraction - concepts, skills and problem solving 3-5 turns to multiplication and division of whole numbers and fractions - concepts, skills and problems solving There is very little data work in K-5, and whats there is tightly coordinated with core progressions in number systems, the number line, and problem solving using the four operations Concentration on arithmetic and the aspects of measurement that support it CCSSM Webinar 12/18/1211
Focus in Early Grades Materials do not assess any of the following topics before the grade level indicated. Topic Grade Introduced Probability, including chance, likely outcomes, probability models.7 Statistical distributions, including center, variation, clumping, outliers, mean, median, mode, range, quartiles, and statistical association or trends, including two-way tables, bivariate measurement data, scatter plots, trend line, line of best fit, correlation. 6 Similarity, congruence, or geometric transformations.8 Symmetry of shapes, including line/reflection symmetry, rotational symmetry Additionally, materials do not assess pattern problems in K-5 that do not support the focus on arithmetic, such as find the next one problems. CCSSM Webinar 12/18/12
FOCUS CCSSM Webinar 12/18/1213
Shift Two: Coherence Think across grades, and link to major topics within grades Carefully connect the learning within and across grades so that students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previous years. Begin to count on solid conceptual understanding of core content and build on it. Each standard is not a new event, but an extension of previous learning. CCSSM Webinar 12/18/1214
How do students perceive mathematics? Doing mathematics means following the rules laid down by the teacher. Knowing mathematics means remembering and applying the correct rule when the teacher asks a question. Mathematical truth is determined when the answer is ratified by the teacher. -M athematical Education of Teachers report (2012) CCSSM Webinar 12/18/1215
How do students perceive mathematics? Students who have understood the mathematics they have studied will be able to solve any assigned problem in five minutes or less. Ordinary students cannot expect to understand mathematics: they expect simply to memorize it and apply what they have learned mechanically and without understanding. -M athematical Education of Teachers report (2012) CCSSM Webinar 12/18/1216
Informing Grades 1-6 Mathematics Standards Development: What Can Be Learned from High-Performing Hong Kong, Singapore, and Korea? American Institutes for Research (2009, p. 13) 4.NF.4. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction by a whole number. 5.NF.4. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction. 5.NF.7. Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions. 6.NS. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to divide fractions by fractions. 6.NS.1. Interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem.

Coherence : Link to major topics within grades Example: Geometric measurement 3.MD, third cluster CCSSM Webinar 12/18/1218
Shift Three: Rigor Equal intensity in conceptual understanding, procedural skill/fluency, and application The CCSSM require: Solid conceptual understanding Procedural skill and fluency Application of skills in problem solving situations In the major work of the grade, this requires equal intensity in time, activities, and resources in pursuit of all three CCSSM Webinar 12/18/1219

It starts with Focus The current U.S. curriculum is a mile wide and an inch deep. Focus is necessary in order to achieve the rigor set forth in the standards More in-depth mastery of a smaller set of things pays off CCSSM Webinar 12/18/1221
A Grecian urn You have just purchased an expensive Grecian urn and asked the dealer to ship it to your house. He picks up a hammer, shatters it into pieces, and explains that he will send one piece a day in an envelope for the next year. You object; he says dont worry, Ill make sure that you get every single piece, and the markings are clear, so youll be able to glue them all back together. Ive got it covered. Absurd, no? But this is the way many school systems require teachers to deliver mathematics to their students; one piece (i.e. one standard) at a time. They promise their customers (the taxpayers) that by the end of the year they will have covered the standards. … The Standards refers to all elements of the designthe wording of domain headings, cluster headings, and individual statements; the text of the grade level introductions and high school category descriptions; the placement of the standards for mathematical practice at each grade level. Adapted from The Structure is the Standards by Bill McCullum, Phil Daro and Jason Zimba The Structure is the Standards 22CCSSM Webinar 12/18/12
Standards for Mathematical Practice Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them Reason abstractly and quantitatively Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others Model with mathematics Use appropriate tools strategically Attend to precision Look for and make use of structure Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning 23CCSSM Webinar 12/18/12

Some Old Ways of Doing Business A different topic every day Every topic treated as equally important Elementary students dipping into advanced topics at the expense of mastering fundamentals Infinitesimal advance in each grade; endless review Incoherence and illogic – bizarre associations, or lacking a thread 25 CCSSM Webinar 12/18/12
Some Old Ways of Doing Business Lack of rigor Reliance on rote learning at expense of concepts Aversion to repetitious practice Severe restriction to stereotyped problems lending themselves to mnemonics or tricks Lack of quality applied problems and real-world contexts Lack of variety in what students produce E.g., overwhelmingly only answers are produced, not arguments, diagrams, models, etc. 26 CCSSM Webinar 12/18/12
