Common Core State Standards (CCSS)

Curriculum/program
adoption
-Audience: BOE Curriculum Committee
-Presenter: Craig M. Creller, K-12 Instructional Specialist
-Date: August 2013
Recent Changes in America…
• Common Core State Standards movement(CCSS)
• - Voluntary, but almost Universal (46 States)
• - Two testing Consortiums (PARC & SBAC), both
promising computerized testing and performance
assessments.
• - Change in content AND teaching practices
• * Common Core State Standards

(CCSS):
Common Core Standards Adoption by State
http://www.ascd.org/common-core/common-core-standards.aspx
CCSS are coming …(fast!)
• “The Connecticut Frameworks was a guiding
document for statewide curriculum until July
2010 when the State Board of Education
adopted the CCSS, which is the current
guidance for curriculum.
• National Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT)
testing begins in the 2014-15 school year.
Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT)
A Computerized Adaptive Test (CAT) dynamically adjusts to
the trait level of each examinee as the test is being
administered.
Efficiency:
CATs are more efficient than conventional tests—they
generally reduce test length by 50% or more.
Control of measurement precision:
A properly designed CAT can measure or classify all
examinees with the same degree of precision.

CCSS - Major Shifts, K-5 - MATH
• Numeration and operation intensified, and introduced earlier
• Memory of basic addition and multiplication facts at specific
grades
• Early place value foundations
• Regrouping as composing / decomposing
• Specific references are made to using the “standard algorithm”
• • Emphasis on using unit fractions
• • Emphasis on number line as visualization /structure
• Focus on properties of operations
•Some topics held “sacred” at certain grade levels have changed.
•K – No time, money, calendar, graphs or patterning. Count by
10’s and 1’s to 100, using fingers to represent addition and
subtraction.
•Gr. 1 – No money or fractions. Count, read, write and represent
numbers to 120.
•Gr. 2 – No fractions, perimeter and area. Memory of all addition
facts.
•Gr. 3 – Memory of all multiplication facts. Study of fractions
begins.
•Gr. 4 – Fluently add and subtract multi-digit problems using the
standard algorithm. Emphasis on unit fractions and using the
numberline.
•Gr. 5 – No ratio, proportion and percent – starts in grade 6.
•Gr. 6-8 – Two paths –thTraditional and
Accelerated (Alg. In 8 )
•Gr. 9-12 – An 11th grade computerized test that covers Algebra I,
Geometry and Algebra II. CT has legislated, but yet to determine if
there will be “EXIT” exams in Algebra 1, geometry, biology, American
history, and grade 10 English as per CT Statute 10-221.
Focus and coherence
Key Points
• Focus on key topics at each grade level.
• Coherent progressions across grade levels.
Balance of concepts and skills
• Content standards require both conceptual
understanding and procedural fluency.
Mathematical practices
• Foster reasoning and sense-making in
mathematics.
College and career readiness
• Level is ambitious but achievable.
Design and Organization
Standards for Mathematical Practice
• Carry across all grade levels
• Describe habits of mind of a mathematically expert
student
Standards for Mathematical Content
• K-8 standards presented by grade level
• Organized into domains that progress over several
grades
• Grade introductions give 2–4 focal points at each
grade level
• High school standards presented by conceptual
Math TEACHING must change …
Instructional Shifts in MATH
• FOCUS
“Less is more”, “Depth over Breadth”, Fewer topics
• COHERENCE
Developmentally appropriate progressions: ie – What can or
should a child learn at each grade level
• RIGOR (balanced)
Fluency (“fast & accurate”), Concepts (“Deep Understanding”) &
Application (“Real World”)

We are executing our 5-year plan
CURRICULUM REVISION SCHEDULE
The Curriculum Revision Schedule ensures an ongoing and systematic review of each subject area. The schedule allows for spacing the
reviews of subject areas to minimize an overload of reviews at any one time and maintains a balance in the introduction of program changes and
new materials for students and staff. The schedule shows a five-year framework: evaluation - development - implementation - implementation
and implementation. All core content areas have been revised to reflect information of CCSS by 2014.

NPS math updates …
• All 12 elementary schools are now on the Common
Core w/computerized Benchmarks.
• Common Core Algebra and Geometry will begin this
September (Fall 2013).
• Support for all Learners - Intensified Algebra and
Math for College Success + Interventions.
• Benchmarks for ALL CCSS subjects/grades.
• We are improving math instruction at all levels via
curriculum, programs & support.
• * We must move grade 6-8 onto the CCSS this Fall!
Overarching Questions
• Do we have what Reeves and Marzano call a
“guaranteed and viable curriculum”?
• Is our curriculum “common” to all schools?
• What common assessments exist? Are they
algined to CCSS standards? How are they used? –
To Drive Instruction? - For Progress Reports?
• Student Achievement across the District???
CCSS Curriculum and Pacing
• - It’s Already done … (Just waiting to align resources)
• - Written nearly 2 years ago …
• - We chose a resource (Big Ideas) in 20112012 …(and tested it in 7th grade at NHMS as
part of a “national” pilot in 2011-2012)

Steering Committee
Recommendations
• #1 - Adopt a “common” Common Core (CCSS)
math program for all middle schools NOW!
• #2 – Begin work on CCSS Algebra (in process),
Geometry (in process), and Algebra II (Fall
2013). Common Core Algebra and Geometry will be taught
beginning this Fall (2013).
• #3 – Increase PD & Coaching. (grant funding?)
What were our Criteria???
• Alignment to Common Core – for both Content and the
teaching (Standards for Mathematical Practice)
