Are You Ready for the Common Core State Standards?
Paul Ezen, Chief Academic Officer, [email protected] (cell)
Agenda
• Instructional Shifts of CCSS• Process for Leading Change
• Assess Needs• Collaborative Planning• Focused Implementation• Progress Monitoring
All eyes are on the moveto higher standards
Common Core Standards Raise the Bar
• Fewer
• Clearer
• Higher• 21st Century
• Focused
• Coherent/Aligned
• Rigorous
• Relevant
Common Core State Standards
Instructional Shifts in ELA and Content Area Literacy
• Text Complexity• High-quality text-dependent questions and
tasks• Range and quality of texts• Focus on academic and domain-specific
vocabulary• Writing and research that analyze sources and
deploy evidence
Increasing Text Complexity

Theme: _________________
High-quality text-dependent questions and tasks
1. Think: Compare/contrast the two prompts below. What do you notice?
From…
How does Douglass feel about moving to Baltimore? Describe a time you moved or visited someplace new.
To…
Summarize Douglass’s view on the role of education. Provide examples from different periods in Douglass’s life to show how he conveys this view.
Questions based on text: Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass.
2. Pair: Discuss what you notice
3. Share: Be ready to share your ideas with the group
Instructional Shifts in Mathematics
• Reasoning to make sense of mathematics• Productive use of discourse when explaining
and justifying mathematical thinking• Procedural fluency (flexibility, accuracy,
efficiency)• Flexible and appropriate use of mathematical
representations• Confidence and perseverance in solving
problems
Transforming Low-Level Questions into High-Level Questions
Low Rigor Which number are odd numbers?4, 17, 56, 28, 29, 31
Which numbers do not belong? Why?4, 17, 56, 28, 29, 31
High Rigor Lisa shoots 6 darts at the dart board and all 6 hit the target. Which of the
following could be her score? Where must the darts land to achieve
that score? 4, 17, 56, 28, 29, 31
Where are you now?
Before any big decision, event, or journey…
Assess Needs
Collaborative Planning
Focused Implementation
Progress Monitoring
• Systems Approach• Focus on Data (Quantitative and Qualitative)• Leadership Team Reflection and Dialogue
Assess Needs
Daggett System for Effective Instruction
• Data Analysis Review (DAR)• WE Surveys• Effectiveness and Efficiency Review• School Visit
• Interview Teachers• Interview Students• Visit Classrooms• Interview Principal • Interview Leadership Team• Interview Community Members / Parents
Needs Assessment Process
Needs Assessment Tools
Managing Scarce Resources• Goals
– Provide substantive data to make Efficiency and Effectiveness (E&E) decisions.
– Obtain input and data from a third party
– Tie strategies to increase student achievement to best and most efficient use of resources
– Build awareness of the complexity of resource management and increasing student achievement
Systems Thinking Around E&E• Waivers
• Sustainable funding sources
• Evaluate staffing positions through E&E with a focus on increasing student achievement
• ‘Oversensitivity’ to HQT
• Collective Bargaining Agreements and collaboration for the benefit of increasing student achievement
• Evaluation of all programs regarding financial outlay and results
• Focused use of Title I funding, etc.
Common Core Readiness Rubrics
1. Standards Alignment2. Design for Rigor and Relevance3. Learning Environment4. Personalization5. Literacy6. Math7. Student Progress and Celebration8. Technology
• Build upon strengths • Easy wins to gain buy-in• Who is on the team?• Set up regular meetings• Discuss student goals• Establish a vision
Collaborative Planning
X
Sample focus area: LiteracyGoal: Increase range of text-dependent questions in all disciplines
Focused Implementation
• What will you do?• By when?
Focused Implementation
• Adult Learning– Faculty meetings
become professional learning experiences with training scripts developed by leadership team (see handout)
• What gets monitored gets done!
1. Reassess progress toward program goals
2. Use data to evaluate and monitor progress
3. Modify goals, action plans and expectations
4. Recognize and celebrate success
Progress Monitoring
In summary
• ICLE support begins with needs assessment
• Needs assessment done in partnership with district
• Needs assessment can launch:
o School improvemento CCSS worko Grant implementationo District planning
• Needs assessment focused by:
oDSEI oR / R Framework
• Experienced education leaders using effective tools:
oWE SurveysoDAR ReportoCIR toolsoE / E Model
The International Center believes that no two
schools are alike. Our work with you and your
staff begins with the needs assessment to
understand your unique needs and goals and to
help you focus on what matters most—designing
and implementing a plan for transformative change
and increased student achievement.
Access to Power Point and Materials
• We will make the Power Points and materials referenced on the CSD web site.
