3. CCSS Training English Language Arts:  Session 1: Overview of CCSS and examination of specific strands (Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening, and Language)  Session 2: SBA - comparing cognitive rigor of SBA performance tasks with HSPE and with SpringBoard embedded assessments

4. CCSS Training Math:  Best instructional practices –  Shifts: focus, coherence, rigor  Common language  Standards of Mathematical Practice  Looked at Smarter Balanced Performance Tasks  Appropriate scaffolding

5. Course Alignment and Comparison (Math) Compared high school and SCC courses  Syllabus and course overviews (SCC)  Curriculum guides (SSD)  Final exams for Math 80 and 99 (SCC)  Textbooks for Algebra I and II and Geometry (SSD) Concluded that courses were fairly aligned in content and expectations

6. Professional Learning Plan for 2013-2014 Observe in each others’ classes SBA – administer a performance task to students and norm our grading together  SCC English 100 & SSD English 12  SCC Math 80, Math 99 & SSD Algebra I, Algebra II

7. Critical insights Understanding instructional shifts of the CCSS Understanding of rigor, content, and expectations of both SSD and SCC courses

8. Surprises Once we decided what to do and scheduled the work, the collaboration was a great success Faculty expressed an interest in observing each other’s classes Faculty expressed an interest in further collaboration in norming our grading  Analysis of students work  Smarter Balanced Performance Tasks

10. Challenges TIME and Scheduling  School district and community college staff have very different schedules, making it difficult to find common time for training and collaboration Determining how to go about accomplishing our goals  Determining what we needed to do to build capacity for transcript and college placement agreements  Blending two different staff cultures to achieve common understanding  Collecting data in the future to determine effectiveness of placement agreements

11. New Course Development in English Language Arts – 12 th grade SSD and SCC faculty jointly designed a high school senior year college readiness course Used CCSS and HEC Board Academic Descriptors for Behaviors and Dispositions to develop a common definition of what a college ready student would be able to do Used SpringBoard and Expository Reading and Writing Course from Cal State Univ. Designed course that is both skill focused and high interest

12. Placement Process Plan for 2013-2014 Develop College Placement Agreements  Coursework  SBA scores
