Opportunity Gap Oversight and Accountability Commission  State Board of Education  CCSS Steering Committee  CARC  Education Associations  Legislature

10. NGSS Key Next Steps, cont. 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar10  Transition Planning  In context and in conjunction with CCSS 3-year transition plans and partnerships  In light of NGSS shifts  In light of the foundations we have to build on  Regional science and STEM activities and supports  Math Science Partnerships and other professional development resources

11. NGSS Key Next Steps, cont. 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar11  Adoption process and authority  Superintendent Dorn has the sole authority to adopt  RCW 28A.655.070, Essential Academic Learning Requirements RCW 28A.655.070  RCW 28A.655.071, Common Core for ELA and Math RCW 28A.655.071  RCW 28A.655.068, Science RCW 28A.655.068  The following must be considered:  Results of comparisons and bias and sensitivity process  Stakeholder input  Legislative involvement  No light – silence  Green light  Yellow light  Red light

12. CCSS Assessment System Transitions  Our change to Common Core is at the heart of assessment changes for ELA and Math  NCLB requires states to assess state standards  We’ve changed standards so we need to change assessments  What we change to is our choice  Smarter Balanced is where we are headed for ELA and Math  IMPT: There are currently no assessment consortia established for Science  Graduation requirements are a state’s choice  Supt Dorn is proposing reduced graduation requirements  ESEA Waiver changes expectation that all students are proficient next year (2014) – it gives us more time and more individualized school-based goals 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar12

20. Transition Supports for the “WHAT” and the “HOW” 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar20

21. Our guiding beliefs and approach for CCSS Implementation in WA 2012-13 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

24. 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar24 1. What do all students need to know and be able to do as a result of the CCSS? 2. What do the adults in the system need to know and be able to do to support all students? 3. How do we design a professional learning system to support them? The “How”: System Remodeling

29. 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 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar

30. 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 2012-13 Pt.3-CCSS Systems Webinar30

32. KY Professional Learning Taskforce Report, 2012 2012-13 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.”
