2. How do the Common Core State Standards relate to teacher evaluation?

3.  Understand the implementation timeline of the CCSS and where your building is on that timeline.  Understand the projected changes of the SBA as compared to our current assessments.  Explore/develop strategies to support CCSS implementation in your building.

4. 2010 - 2011  CCSS Roll Out at TBAISD Conference Center – Winter/Spring 2011  In-District Support 2011 - 2012  Leadership Academy  RSDD  Regional Literacy Committee Meetings  Regional 3-8 Math PLC  Digging Deeper into CCSSM  In-District Support

6.  Continue Implementation  MME Remains the same  MEAP Minimally Modified

8.  Remove the NAESP article from the red file folder. http://www.naesp.org/sites/default/files/Common%20Core%20I mplementation%20Checklist%20for%20Principals.pdf

9.  As the article states, please identify areas of strengths and needs by checking tasks that you have completed and making notes about your plans. ◦ Each person shares1area of strength with those at their table. ◦ Discuss how implementation was effective.

10.  Four Foundational Claims  Field Testing in 2013  Operational by January of 2015  Scoring-combination of machine and teacher  Re-take Option  Interim Assessments available 2015-2016

11.  Selected Response  Technology-Enhanced Constructed Response  Constructed Response  Performance Task

12. One reading, one writing and two math tasks per year ◦ ELA – Select texts on a given theme, synthesize the perspectives presented, conduct research, and write a reflective essay. ◦ Math – Review a financial document and read explanatory text, conduct a series of analyses, develop a conclusion, and provide evidence for it.

13. Roughly half of the performance tasks for grades 9-11 will assess ELA or math within the context of science or social studies.

14.  Remove the Venn Diagram from the orange file folder.  Use the Venn Diagram to compare and contrast your thoughts about the two assessments.

15.  Remove the assessment items from the orange file folder. ◦ ELA is the green paper-clipped packet ◦ Math is the blue paper-clipped packet  Choose either ELA or Math to review.  Review the items on your own first highlighting major differences.  Discuss the level of complexity of the assessment items with a partner.

16.  Add notes to your Venn Diagram after analyzing the items shown. ◦ Did your responses change? ◦ What does your staff need to know?  Remove and scan the ELA & Math Performance Task document from the orange file folder. ◦ In what ways are your teachers providing the varying types of stimulus to prepare for the new assessment? ◦ What support do you expect your teachers will need to implement these stimuli?

17. 1. Students can read closely and analytically to comprehend a range of increasingly complex literary and informational texts. 2. Students can produce effective and well-grounded writing for a range of purposes and audiences. 3. Students can employ effective speaking and listening skills for range of purposes and audiences. 4. Students can engage in research/inquiry to investigate topics, and to analyze, integrate, and present information.

18. 1. Students can explain and apply mathematical procedures with precision and fluency. 2. Students can solve a range of complex well-posed problems in pure and applied mathematics, making productive use of knowledge and problem solving strategies. 3. Students can clearly and precisely construct viable arguments to support their own reasoning and to critique the reasoning of others. 4. Students can analyze complex, real-world scenarios and can construct and use mathematical models to interpret and solve problems.

19.  Remove the claim documents for ELA & Math from the yellow file folder.  Similarities ◦ Rationale ◦ Sufficient Evidence ◦ Accessibility ◦ Assessment Targets

20.  Differences in ELA Document ◦ Proposed Reporting Categories ◦ Other Assessment Notes  Differences in Math Document ◦ Types of Extended Response Tasks

21.  Find a partner.  Choose who will review the ELA document and who will review the Math document. ◦ ELA will focus on pages 63-66 ◦ Math will focus on pages 64-66  As you read your selection: ◦ Highlight 3 things that you can share with your staff ◦ Underline 3 things that are surprising

22.  Discuss your highlights and surprises with your partner.  Record your highlights and surprises on the chart paper on the wall.  Take a minute to read the other statements contributed.

23.  The claims reference Depth of Knowledge.  Webb’s Depth of Knowledge has four levels: ◦ Level One – Recall ◦ Level Two – Skills & Concepts ◦ Level Three – Strategic Thinking ◦ Level Four – Extended Thinking

24.  Remove the partially empty DOK wheel from the green file folder.  Individually or with a partner, place the words in the table into the appropriate sector of the circle.

25. Using the DOK level hand-out, compare it to the wheel you filled out.  What DOK levels did the claims reference?  What percent of your teachers offer instruction within levels 3 and 4 on regular basis?  How can you lead & support your staff to implement instructional strategies that access higher levels of DOK?

26.  SBAC Cognitive Rigor Matrix for ELA and Math from the green file folder.  Teacher questionnaire on the back side of the DOK wheel.  TBAISD provided “flip books”.
