Table Talk
•How will you use this activity to create a
shared vision of what you want to achieve
as a campus/department?
•So if that is what you want to ultimately
produce, what do we need to put in place to
get us there?
•What connections did you make to your
campus plan/graduation profile?
Objectives
• Identify the purpose and structure of the
College Career and Readiness Standards
(CCRS).
• Develop an understanding of the history,
construct, and dynamics of the Texas CCRS in
an effort to create college and career ready
Texas students.
• Specify the knowledge and skills necessary to
succeed in entry-level college and university
courses.
Objectives (cont.)
• Develop an understanding of how the new
STAAR assessment aligns with the Texas CCRS.
• Apply conceptual understanding of Texas CCRS
in a contextual environment.
• Use cross disciplinary standards to make
connections across all content areas.
What are the Texas CCRS?
• Define what students should know and be
able to accomplish in order to succeed in
entry-level college courses or skilled workforce
opportunities upon graduation from high
school.
• Provide a seamless transition between HS and
college or the workforce.
• Allow students to engage in deeper levels of
thinking.
Brutal Facts
Brutal Facts
• Texas trails other states in preparing and
sending students to postsecondary
education.
• Over 80% of 21st century jobs require some
postsecondary education.
• Skilled workforce wants their employees to
read and communicate well in addition to
having a basic knowledge of core subjects.
CCRS History
• Law passed by Texas Legislature in 2006 required
development of college readiness standards.
– TEA and THECB established Vertical Teams to
developed the CCCRS in ELA, Mathematics, Science,
and Social Studies.
• A draft of the CCRS was made available to the
public for review and comment.
• Formally adopted in Jan 2008.
– Sent to the Commissioner of Education and SBOE for
incorporation into the TEKS (2008-2010) for ELA,
Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and CTE.
CCRS Facts
• English and Mathematics CCRS meet and in many
cases, exceed national standards.
• Texas was the first state to adopt college
readiness standards.
• Final section of the CCRS contains crossdisciplinary, foundational cognitive skills that
may be as important as content knowledge.
• CCRS must be met by students graduating under
distinguished achievement program

What does it Look Like?
1. You have been given a TEK strand and the
corresponding CCRS strand.
2. Create a T-Chart analyzing the similarities and
differences between TEKS and CCRS.
3. We will share findings as a whole group.

NEW ASSESSMENT DESIGN—STAAR
• “Fewer, deeper, clearer ” focus
• Linked to college and career readiness
• Will emphasize “readiness” standards, defined as
those TEKS considered critical for success in the
current grade or subject and important for
preparedness in the grade or subject that follows
• Will include other TEKS that are considered
supporting standards and will be assessed, though
not emphasized
STAAR Assessments
Grades 3−8
• 3−8 mathematics
• 3−8 reading
• 4 and 7 writing
• 5 and 8 science
• 8 social studies
Implemented in 2011−2012

STAAR End-of-Course
High School Assessments
• English I, English II, English III
• Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II
• Biology, Chemistry, Physics
• World Geography, World History, U.S. History
Graduation requirement for
students entering 9th grade in
the 2011−2012 school year
STAAR Testing
•Fewer standards being tested with depth versus breadth; more
rigor
•Readiness Standards:
•Identify core standards at each grade level that are critical to
success in future grades
•Will be tested at each grade level each year: Alignment is Key!
•Supporting Standards: Other standards rotated every three years
• Non-Tested Standards

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR HIGHER
EDUCATION “COLLEGE READINESS?”
• House Bill 3 defines college readiness as the
level of preparation a student must attain in
English language arts and mathematics
courses to enroll and succeed, without
remediation, in an entry-level general
education course for credit in that same
content area for a baccalaureate degree or
associate degree program (Section 39.024a)
End-of-Course
• English III and Algebra II assessments will
include a performance standard that indicates
college readiness.
• Research will be conducted to investigate a
college-readiness component for science and
social studies EOC assessments.
How are TEKS and CCRS different?
• TEKS provide a defined, focused set of core
skills that should be mastered in a relatively
limited and defined set of courses. The CCRS
are specifically designed to better prepare
students to succeed in life after HS.
TEKS and the CCRS Commonalities
• Define what students should know and be able to
demonstrate and/or perform.
• Describe expectations for all students.
• Are divided into strands of similar skills and
concepts for use in planning.
• Are intended to be integrated and taught in
context.

CCRS Cross-Disciplinary Standards with
Performance Indicators
• Point the Finger!
• Identify 3 cross curricular performance
indicator examples and where those
standards present themselves within
participants’ TEKS/Syllabus.
Provided below is a cross-disciplinary standard with
performance indicators. What might a lesson look like in
each area?
I. Key Cognitive Skills
B. Reasoning
2. Construct well-reasoned arguments to explain
phenomena, validate conjectures, or support
positions.
a. Participate in a debate that is based on facts
and has a logical structure.
b. Construct a visual presentation, including
hypothesis, data, results, and conclusion.
c. Write a paper that addresses
counterarguments to advocated positions.
d. Recognize and apply techniques of
statistical or probabilistic analysis to judge
reliability of information.
e. Organize an argument separating fact from opinion.
