What is the CCSS Initiative?
• An initiative of the National Governors
Association (NGA) and the Council of
Chief State School Officers (CCSSO)
• A significant and historic opportunity for
states to collectively develop and adopt a
core set of academic standards in
Mathematics and English/Language Arts
2
What are the Common Core
State Standards (CCSS)?
• Fewer, clearer, and higher
• Aligned with college and work
expectations
• Rigorous content requiring higher-order
thinking and application of
knowledge
• Evidence- and/or research-based
• Internationally benchmarked
3
CCSSO/NGA Process
Fall 2009
-Released draft of
College/Career Readiness
Standards to states and public
Jan. 2010
-Released several drafts of
K-12 Standards to states
Feb. 2010
-Released draft K-12
Standards to the public
June 2, 2010
-Released Final K-12 Standards

Common Core State Standards
for Mathematics
Key design considerations:
• Individual grade levels in K-8
• Solid foundation for grades K-5 in whole
numbers, addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division, fractions, and
decimals
• Solid foundation for grades 6-8 in geometry,
algebra, and probability and statistics

Alignment of CCSS for Math
and MS Math Framework
• Initial alignment study done “in-house” and
additional study done by SEDL
• Overall alignment is not good
-Many specifics in the CCSS are addressed in
the MS Math Framework but at a lower
grade level(s)
-Several of the MS Math Framework
objectives are not mentioned in the
Common Core
• CCSS for Math are more rigorous than the MS
Math Framework

Alignment of CCSS
English Language Arts (ELA)
and MS ELA
• Initial alignment study done “in-house” and
additional study done by SEDL
• Overall alignment is good
-Few specifics in the CCSS are not addressed
in the MS ELA Framework or not addressed
at the same grade level
-Many of the MS ELA Framework
objectives and sub-objectives are not
mentioned in the Common Core
• Rigor is comparable
14
Common Core State Standards
High School
15
Common Core
High School Mathematics
• CCSS Grade 8 is comparable to the current MS
Algebra I course.
• High school standards require students to
practice applying mathematical ways of
thinking to real world situations.
16
Common Core
High School Mathematics
High school standards are listed in
conceptual categories :
-number and quantity
-algebra
-functions
-modeling
-geometry
-statistics and probability
17
Common Core High School ELA

Race to the Top (RttT)
Assessment Proposals
The Process:
• Proposals were due from multi-state consortia on June 23, 2010
• Awards were made in September, 2010
• New Consortia tests to replace current state NCLB tests in 2014-2015
Two Comprehensive Assessment Proposals Funded:
 Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers
(PARCC)
 26 states, 31 million students K-12
 SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC)
 31 states, 21 million students K-12
Note: 12 states currently in both and 6 states in neither

RttT Assessment Program
Requirements
• Build upon shared standards for college/career readiness;
• Measure individual growth as well as proficiency;
• Measure the extent each student is on track, at each grade level
tested, toward college/career readiness by high school
completion, and provide information that is useful in informing:
– Teaching, learning, and program improvement;
– Determinations of school effectiveness;
– Determinations of educator effectiveness for use in evaluations
and provision of support to teachers/principals;
– Determinations of individual student college/career
readiness, through high school exit decisions, college course
placement into credit-bearing classes, and/or college entrance.

few “keystone” standards/topics
• Taken on computer, with mixed
item types
• Given at three points during the
school year, near the end of quarters
• Scored entirely by computer for
fast results
• Results within 2 weeks to inform
instruction and intervention
Scores from both focused &
end-of-yr. assessments will be
combined for annual

In a single session/class period, students in grades 3 - 11 will:
• ELA: Read texts, draw evidence to form conclusions, and prepare a
written analysis
• Math: For each of 1 or 2 essential topics (standards or clusters of
standards), complete 1 to 3 constructed response tasks

Over several sessions/class periods, students will
complete a project-like task that draws on a range of
skills. Examples:
• ELA:
Locate digital information, evaluate and
select sources, and compose an essay or
research paper
• Math: Perform a multi-step performance task
that requires application of mathematical
skills and reasoning and may require
technological tools
