8. Standards for Mathematical Practice Mathematically proficient students: Standard 1: Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. solving them. Standard 2: Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Standard 3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. reasoning of others. Standard 4: Model with mathematics. Standard 5: Use appropriate tools strategically. Standard 6: Attend to precision. Standard 7: Look for and make use of structure. Standard 8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. repeated reasoning.

9. Model with mathematics #4 I can recognize math in everyday life and use math I know to solve everyday problems. I can… make assumptions and estimate to make complex problems easier identify important quantities and use tools to show their relationships evaluate my answer and make changes if needed

10. What’s New About the CCRS- Mathematics? Standards for Mathematical Practice + Content Standards Increased rigor in the standards Content shifts in all grade levels New expectations for classrooms

11. Comparing Standards… 2003 ACOS – Grade 1 3. Demonstrate computational fluency of basic addition and subtraction facts by identifying sums to 10 and differences with minuends of 10 or less. 2010 ACOS – Grade 1 6. Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten; decomposing a number leading to a ten; using the relationship between addition and subtraction; and creating equivalent but easier or known sums by creating the known equivalent. [1-OA6]

12. Another Example… 2003 ACOS – Grade 4 2. Write money amounts in words and dollar-and-cent notation. 2010 ACOS – Grade 4 20. Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale. [4-MD2].

16. Changes in the Classroom… “Talking” math Actively engaged in activities Solving problem using different strategies “Struggling productively” with problems Using tools and manipulatives Justifying their answers Students are: NCTM, 2012

17. Changes in the Classroom… Teachers are: Using formative assessment to guide their instruction Providing challenging tasks for students Facilitating learning Differentiating instruction to meet their students’ needs NCTM, 2012

18. What About English Language Arts?

22. Phase II –Implementation 2013-2014 CCRS Implementation Team (Continued) Summer Academy Will be implemented in Grades K-12 August 2013

23. Three Key Shifts in ELA 1.Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and informational texts. 2. Reading, writing and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational 3. Regular practice with complex text and its academic language.

24. Shift #1 Content–rich Non-fiction K-5 - 50/50 ratio Gr. 9-12 - 70/30 ratio

25. Building Knowledge through Content -rich Non-fiction Very little informational text required in elementary and middle school. Informational text is harder for students to comprehend than narrative text.

26. Shift #2 Reading, Writing, and Speaking Grounded in Evidence from Text Ability to cite evidence. Being able to locate and deploy evidence are hallmarks of strong readers and writers.

27. Shift #3 Regular Practice with Complex Text and its Academic Language What students can read, in terms of complexity is greatest predictor of success in college (ACT study). Standards include a staircase of increasing text complexity from elementary through high school. Standards also focus on building general academic vocabulary so critical to comprehension.

28. What are the Features of Complex Text? Density of information Unfamiliar settings, topics or events Complex sentences Uncommon vocabulary Longer paragraphs

29. Changes in the Classroom… Students are: Doing more reading on their own Getting a great deal of information from the text Using note-taking organizers, question charts, prompt sheets Engaging in discussion around text read Backing up responses to questions with evidence

30. Changes in the Classroom… Teachers are: Providing students with consistent, explicit writing instruction Providing opportunities for students to write from multiple sources about a single topic Engaging students in more complex texts with scaffolding Engaging students in rigorous conversations

39. Our Vision Every Child a Graduate – Every Graduate Prepared for College/Work/Adulthood in the 21 st Century

40. Prepared Graduate Defined Possesses the knowledge and skills needed to enroll and succeed in credit-bearing, first-year courses at a two- or four- year college, trade school, technical school, without the need for remediation. Possesses the ability to apply core academic skills to real- world situations through collaboration with peers in problem solving, precision, and punctuality in delivery of a product, and has a desire to be a life-long learner.

41. Alabama’s PLAN 2020 Priorities ALABAMA’S 2020 LEARNERS ALABAMA’S 2020 PROFESSIONALS ALABAMA’S 2020 SUPPORT SYSTEMS ALABAMA’S 2020 SCHOOLS/SYSTEMS

42. Alabama’s 2020 Learners Objectives 1.All students perform at or above proficiency and show continuous improvement (achievement/growth). 2. All students succeed (gap closure). 3. Every student graduates from high school (grad rate). 4. Every student graduates high school prepared (college and career readiness).

43. Plan 2020 STRATEGIES for Learners Develop and implement a unified PreK through college and career readiness plan. Develop and adopt college- and career-ready aligned standards in all subject areas. Create and implement a balanced and meaningful assessment and accountability system.

44. ARMT and ACT If scores on the ACT will be the determinant of college/career readiness, what is the correlation between ARMT scores and the ACT? If we correlate ACT and ARMT Level III and IV the correlation is less than.5

47. ACT Benchmarks Subject Area TestACT Benchmark English18 Reading21 Mathematics22 Science24 ACT College Readiness Benchmarks are scores on the ACT subject area tests that represent the level of achievement required for students to have a 50% chance of obtaining a B or higher or about a 75% chance of obtaining a C or higher in corresponding credit-bearing first- year college courses.

48. Alabama’s Students 18% of 2012 ACT-Tested High School Graduates met College Readiness Benchmarks in all four subject areas. 3% of Minority Students met the College Readiness Benchmarks in all four subject areas.
