approved by Governing States
April 2012: Item/task specifications and review guidelines published
– http://www.smarterbalanced.org/itemspecs
June 2012: Training modules available for item writers/reviewers
– http://www.smarterbalanced.org/smarter-balanced-assessments/item-writing-andreview
Summer 2012: Educators from Governing States begin writing items
and tasks; cognitive labs / small scale trials begin
September 2012: Sample items reviewed by Smarter Balanced staff
and advisors, Student Achievement Partners

Our guiding beliefs and approach for
CCSS Implementation in WA
2-Prongs:
1.
The What: Content Shifts (for students and educators)
– Belief that past standards implementation efforts have provided a strong
foundation on which to build for CCSS; HOWEVER there are shifts that
need to be attended to in the content.
2.
The How: System “Remodeling”
– Belief that successful CCSS implementation will not take place top
down or bottom up – it must be “both, and…”
– Belief that districts and communities across the state have the
conditions and commitment present to engage wholly in this work.
– Professional learning systems are critical
The “What”:
ELA and Math Content Shifts
 Shifts in ELA
1. Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and informational
texts in addition to literature
2. Reading and writing grounded in evidence from the text
3. Regular practice with complex text and its academic vocabulary
These apply to content area (social studies, science, and technical subject)
teachers as well as to English teachers.
 Shifts in Mathematics
1. Focus: 2-3 topics focused on deeply in each grade
2. Coherence: Concepts logically connected from one grade to the next
and linked to other major topics within the grade
3. Rigor: Fluency with arithmetic, application of knowledge to real world
situations, and deep understanding of mathematical concepts
