• The Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI) is a state-led effort coordinated by the
National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO)
with assistance from Project Achieve, ACT and the College Board (SAT).
• Beginning in the spring of 2009, Governors and state commissioners of education from 48 states, 2
territories and the District of Columbia committed to developing a common core of state K-12
English-language Arts (ELA) and mathematics standards.
• On June 9, 2011, California joined the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) as a
governing state.

Goals of the Common Core State Standards
• To be aligned with college and career expectations;
•To be informed by other top performing countries, so
that all students are prepared to succeed in our global
economy and society

States That Adopted Common Core Standards
Next Generation Assessments (NGA) for ELA &Math
•By the 2014-2015 school year students
in California will be tested in math and
English using next generation
assessments created by
Smarter Balanced Assessments.
•California’s STAR tests are set to expire
after the 2013-2014 school year.
End of Year Assessments:
Grades 3-8 and 11
Item Type Key Features
Selected Response (SR) Select one or more response for a set of
options, assess narrow focus*
Constructed Response (CR) Produce a test of numerical response,
assess narrow focus*
Extended Reponses (ER) Produce a more extended response,
assesse a narrow focus*
Performance Tasks (PT) Contain multiple parts, assess multiple
targets**
Technology Enhanced/Enabled (TE) Use of multi-media and interactive
elements
*One or two target standards/concept
**Two or more target standards/concepts

Grades 3-8 and 11, Grades 9 and
10 available for states that
choose to use them
Delivered via computer and is
computer adaptive.
Only multiple choice
Performance tasks, selected
response, technology enhanced

Part of the state and federal
accountability system
New accountability system
(CalMAPP21) is in final stages of
approval.

College and Career Anchor
Standards For All Subjects and
Grade Levels
These standards, often referred to as
Anchor Standards or CCR Standards are a set of 32 standards which “…define the general, crossdisciplinary literacy expectations necessary for success beyond high school.” www.corestandards.org
Three main sections:
Comprehensive K-5 section
English Language Arts specific sections for grades 6-12
History/Social Studies and Science and Technical Subjects for grades 6-12

Reading Standards for Information Standard 1 (RI1)
Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical
inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to
support conclusions drawn from the text.
Ask and answer questions about details in a text (K-1st)
5 Ws (2nd)
refer to the text for answers (3rd)
draw inferences (4th)
quote accurately (5th)
support analysis with textual evidence (6th)
cite several pieces of textual evidence (7th)
cite evidence…most strongly supports (8th)
cite strong & thorough evidence(9-10th)
determine where the text leaves matters uncertain (11-12th)
Mathematics

Design Principles for Math
• Focus: focus strongly where the
standards focus
• Coherence: think across grades, and link
to major topics in each grade
• Rigor: In major topics, pursue with
equal intensity
• Conceptual understanding
• Procedural skill and fluency, and
• applications

K-12 Mathematical Practice Standards
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of
others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Smarter Balanced
Assessment Consortium
Key Shifts in Assessment
• Smarter Balanced is assessing for both knowledge and skills.
• Students will be asked to use the knowledge and skills they have
accumulated to solve predictable and unpredictable real world
problems.
• The ultimate goal of SBAC is to measure college and career readiness
in ELA and math.
STAR TEST EXAMPLES
Non-Traditional Selected Response Item
Technology-Enhanced Items
Draw a line of symmetry through
the figure below.
The graph on the right shows a
triangle. Draw the triangle after
it is reflected over the y-axis.
Classify each shape below based whether it contains at least one pair
of parallel sides.

Parent and Student Section
Practice Tests and assessment items
http://pta.org/parents
National PTA has 4 page guides for each grade
level for parents.
How can parents help with the transition to
The Common Core?
• Emphasize what is being learned over points or grades.
• Touch base with Common Core leadership teams at individual sites to see
what initiatives can be supported.
• Read and discuss with your child.
• Know what the priority work is for your child. Check with the teacher
about progress toward priority work.
• Ask them to explain their answers.
• Provide access to nonfiction (Newspapers, Magazines, Biographies).
• Support grant writing through PTA or school site councils.
• Educate other parents.
Next Generation Science Standards: CA becomes 6th state to adopt.
The State Board of Education approved the Next
Generation Science Standards (NGSS) on
September 4, 2013. The new standards
emphasize concepts within and across scientific
disciplines, and integrate engineering practices
to help students understand the workings of
science and the natural world.
Fremont Unified Technology Plan
• Devices: The district is currently in negotiations
to finalize a technology roll out with DELL.
• The plan calls for devices to be at school sites by
the end of the calendar year.
• Device #’s are based on student enrollment to
meet requirements for testing. #’s are also
based on the state’s technology readiness
requirements and calculator.
Update on STAR Assessment
• On September 4, 2013, the State Board of Education deliberated and
supported the amendment to AB 484 which outlines the replacement of the
current ELA and math assessments with the Common Core field tests beginning
this school year.
• The plan calls for the suspension of most of STAR testing during the field tests of
the new ELA and math assessments for the 2013-2014 school year. (This
requires all districts to administer a field test.) Science grade level assessments
administered in grades 5,8 and 10. EAP is still in place.
• Individual student scores will not be produced nor would API scores be provided
• Note: The legislation has passed the bill (AB484) and it has now been signed
by Governor Brown. The state will now apply for a waiver from the U.S.
Department of Education.
