The Common Core Standards (CCSS) were developed by
the Council of Chief State School Officers and the
National Governor’s Association Center for Best Practices,
and were formally released on June 2, 2010.
Currently 46 states have adopted the Common Core State
Standards.
Exceptions – Alaska, Nebraska, Texas, Virginia
(Minnesota- adopted ELA and rejected math)

Overarching Goals for K-12 CCS
The focus of the CCSS is to guarantee that all
students are college and career ready as they
graduate from high school.
The Common Core Standards ensure that students are:
• Prepared to succeed in our global economy and society
• Provided with rigorous content and applications of higher
knowledge through higher order thinking skills.

Internationally benchmarked
Student expectations are clear to parents,
teachers, and the general public
Allows for collaboration with other states on
best practices, instructional materials, and
professional development
Provides literacy standards for History/Social
Studies, Science, and the Technical Subjects

State Standard Additions
• It was required by the Federal
Government that the Common Core
Standards be adopted in full.
• 15% of additional standards could be
added by each state.
• In Math, California’s 15% is almost
completely taken up by the insertion
of 8th grade Algebra Standards

On-Line Assessments
• Students will take the assessments online.
• Results will be generated quickly – two week average
timeframe.
• Testing window will be longer to accommodate for
computer lab usage.
• The assessment uses Computer Adaptive technology.

What is Computer
Adaptive Testing (CAT)?
• Adapts to the student’s ability level
• Assessment “engine” delivers short
series of moderately difficult grade items
• Depending on student’s initial
performance delivers items that are
either more or less difficult
• Process continues until student’s
performance level is determined.

Summative Assessments
 Mandatory comprehensive assessment in
grades 3 – 8 and 11 that supports accountability
and measures growth
 Assesses the full range of CCSS in English
language arts and mathematics
 Unless state law is changed, the CAHSEE will
remain a graduation requirement.
 All other assessments (i.e. 2nd grade testing,
end of course exams) would need to be
developed and paid for by the state.

Item Types
• Selected-response
• Constructed-response
o Complex thinking skills, comparison and contrast, cause and
effect, patterns, conflicting points of view, categorizing,
summarizing, interpreting information
• Extended constructed-response
o Assess knowledge and skills not easily accessed with selected
response or constructed response (e.g. extended written
response)
• Performance Events
o Each performance task could take place across more than one
sitting of 45-60 minutes each
• Technology-enhanced
o Requires productive use of technology
