Transition Supports for the “WHAT” and the “HOW” Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar20

Our guiding beliefs and approach for CCSS Implementation in WA Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar21 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

NEXT: Consider Phase 2 within your Building Context 29 Start the transition by Setting the Course!  Identifying a core group of leaders (across grades and subjects) as a lead CCSS implementation team  Take stock of current instructional practices, strengths, and challenges  Establish a shared vision that will guide CCSS implementation with all students and educators – what will it mean for your district/building?  Developing District-Specific CCSS Implementation Plans  Use the CCSS District Readiness Assessment to inform transition planning  Access Achieve and Learning Forward materials to inform professional learning  Establish short and long term goals to begin moving forward Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar

What should educators be doing to implement CCSS?  Use the 3-year transition plan and resources as a guide  Attend ESD trainings on the CCSS aligned our transition plan  Take time to collaboratively learn the CCSS in the transition areas  Read and re-read the CCSS  Look at examples on the Illustrative Math Project webpage  Study relevant Progression document  Link content standards to the Big Ideas (ELA) and the Mathematical Practices  Understand the relationships between topics and grades  Look for opportunities to incorporate the CCSS in the classroom Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar30

WA Years 1 and 2 Professional Learning Resources: OSPI and ESD Network Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar31

KY Professional Learning Taskforce Report, Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar32 “Professional learning is a comprehensive, sustained, and intensive approach to increase student achievement that strengthens and improves educators’ effectiveness in meeting individual, team, school, district, and state goals. Professional learning is not an isolated event or a set of events; rather it is ongoing, relevant, job-embedded learning for educators at all stages of career development. Professional learning supports educators in meeting and exceeding standards of performance, implementing new initiatives, and refining professional practice to increase student achievement.”
