CCSS and SBAC: Changes coming and how they affect “me” BiCounty (Lincoln and Grant) Administrators/Teachers Meeting October 11, 2012 Presented by: Alan Burke, Ed.D. Deputy Superintendent of K-12 Education Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Questions Addressed Today • What are the similarities/differences between Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards? • What are the implementation timelines from standards adoption to the assessment of the new standards? • What is the current status and future considerations of assessment graduation requirements? BiCounty (Lincoln and Grant) Administrators/Teachers Meeting 2 Washington’s Content Standards Washington’s Reading (2005), Writing (2005), and Math (2008) Standards Common Core State Standards for English/Language Arts and Mathematics Adopted July, 2011 Fully Implemented 2014-15 Assessed 2014-15 Next Generation Science Standards Standards final in Spring 2013 Washington’s Science Standards (2009) Consider Adoption in Spring 2014. Full Implementation could be 2016-17, more likely 2017-18. Assessment could be 2016-17, more likely 2017-18. BiCounty (Lincoln and Grant) Administrators/Teachers Meeting 3 Common Core Standards and NGSS Common Core Standards • State-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State School Officers (48 states) • Informed by the highest, most effective models from states, are evidence-based • Developed in collaboration with teachers, school administrators, and experts NGSS • Based on National Research Council K12 Framework for Science Education (42 states implementing Framework) • Development led by Achieve, funded by Carnegie (26 Lead States participating in development) • Informed by research-based models • High stakeholder involvement BiCounty (Lincoln and Grant) Administrators/Teachers Meeting 4 CCSS and NGSS Washington’s Implementation Timeline & Activities 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 Phase 1: CCSS and NGSS Exploration Phase 2: Build Awareness & Begin Building Statewide Capacity Phase 3: Build Statewide Capacity and Classroom Transitions Phase 4: Statewide Application and Assessment Ongoing: Statewide Coordination and Collaboration to Support BiCounty (Lincoln and Grant) Administrators/Teachers Meeting 5 New Assessments • More rigorous tests measuring student progress toward “college and career readiness” • Have common, comparable scores across member states, and across consortia • Provide achievement and growth information to help make better educational decisions and professional development opportunities • Assess all students, except those with “significant cognitive disabilities” • Administer online, with timely results • Use multiple measures Source: Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 68 / Friday, April 9, 2010 pp. 18171-85 BiCounty (Lincoln and Grant) Administrators/Teachers Meeting 6 SMARTER Balanced: A National Consortium of States • • • • 27 states representing 43% of K-12 students 21 governing, 6 advisory states Washington state is fiscal agent WestEd provides project management services BiCounty (Lincoln and Grant) Administrators/Teachers Meeting 7 A Balanced Assessment System Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations for college and career readiness Summative assessments Benchmarked to college and career readiness All students leave high school college and career ready Teachers and schools have information and tools they need to improve teaching and learning Teacher resources for formative assessment practices to improve instruction Interim assessments Flexible, open, used for actionable feedback BiCounty (Lincoln and Grant) Administrators/Teachers Meeting 8 Summative Assessments for Accountability in English language arts/Literacy and Math Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) Portion Performance Task (PT) Portion Setting Performance Standards (Cut Scores) •Built on solid technology •Coverage of full breadth/depth of Common Core •Precise assessment of all students •Deeper learning with thematic and scenario-based tasks •Real-world problems aligned to Common Core •PT scores combined with CAT for overall score •K-12, higher ed, business, and policymakers part of decision-making •Broad review of “Achievement Level Descriptors” •Field testing includes PISA, TIMSS, NAEP items •Longitudinal data systems used for triangulation BiCounty (Lincoln and Grant) Administrators/Teachers Meeting Page 9 A Balanced Assessment System English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, Grades 3-8 and High School School Year Last 12 weeks of the year* DIGITAL CLEARINGHOUSE of formative tools, processes and exemplars; released items and tasks; model curriculum units; educator training; professional development tools and resources; scorer training modules; and teacher collaboration tools.

We are working with higher ed to explore the possible use of these measures as an alternative for college placement (or entrance).

Should this be criteria for graduation? HSPE/EOC* 12th Grade 2009 NAEP (National Sample)** CCSS Assessments Reading 94% 23% ?? SBAC Math 78% 36% ?? SBAC Science 61% 20% ?? NGSS Test * % of Class of 2012 (reading) , 2013 (math), and 2015 (Biology) who met standard on exit exams or Certificate of Academic Achievement options ** Some Washington students are included in the national sample but no state level is available WSASCD—OSPI—WASA Annual Conference 10/12/12 18 SBAC assessments will measure career- and college-readiness BiCounty (Lincoln and Grant) Administrators/Teachers Meeting 19 High School Testing • How much is appropriate? – Currently five at 10th grade: Algebra, Geometry, Reading, Writing, Biology – 2014–15 Add two (SMARTER Balanced likely choice): • 11th grade E/LA • 11th grade math • How many should be passed for graduation? – Class of 2015 (2012–13 sophomores) must pass five – College and career-ready cut score for 11th grade exams is likely too high for graduation • How much do graduation tests cost? – Approximately $10M for Collection of Evidence (COE) for Class of 2015 – 11th grade tests will add $30/student/test 20 Using SBAC for High School Graduation Tests Grade Subject Tested 2012–13 and 2013–14 2014–15 and Beyond Measure current Reading, Writing, Algebra, Geometry , and Biology Standards Measure Common Core State Standards and current Biology Standards 10 Reading HSPE 10 Writing HSPE 10 E/LA 10 Algebra EOC 10 Geometry EOC 10 Math 10 Biology 11 E/LA SBAC 11 Math SBAC SBAC * SBAC EOC EOC Note: 10th grade exams measure high school proficiency with passage required for graduation; 11th grade exams measure career and college-ready standards. 21 * 10th grade math exams could be separate Algebra and Geometry EOC exams.
