Common Core State Standards
Idaho State Department of Educationhttp://www.sde.idaho.gov/site/common/
English Language Arts and Mathematics Standards
• These standards define the knowledge and skills students should have within K-12 grades so they will graduate from high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic post-secondary courses (college or professional-technical) and in the workforce.
The Standards (cont.)• Are aligned with college and workforce
expectations; • Are more focused and coherent;• Include rigorous content and application of
knowledge through higher-order skills;• Build upon strengths and lessons of current state
standards;• Are benchmarked against standards in other top-
performing countries.• Are built on extensive research.
Implementation• The CCSS were approved by the Legislature in
January 2011, the Standards will go into effect in the 2013-2014 school year.
• Here is the timeline for implementation: – 2011-2012 Professional development– 2012-2013 Professional development – 2013-2014 Common core state standards taught in
Idaho classrooms – Professional development cont. – 2014-2015 New common assessments delivered
Implementation Professional Development and Support
•Professional Knowledge and Growth•Curriculum/Instruction•Stakeholder Engagement•Assessment•Bridging K-12 and Post Secondary•Braiding Common Core implementation with existing state initiatives such as RTI
Implementation
• Districts may start implementation sooner than 2013 if they choose
• The current ISAT will remain in place until a new assessment is deployed in 2014-2015
• Idaho is part of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium - http://www.sde.idaho.gov/site/commonAssessment/
Implementation Tools and Resources for ELA
• Sample instructional unit• Purpose: Provide educators an exemplar unit called “Great
Conversations” to address writing about what one reads, which is articulated in Common Core writing standard #9 and across the reading standards. The unit will contain 5-6 texts, which will be mainly literary non-fiction, and will show how several texts can be grouped coherently into a unit of study. The exemplar unit will illustrate the type of questions a teacher could ask students about a text and sample student answers that could be provided orally or in writing.
• Creators/Lead Authors: Sue Pimentel and David Coleman, lead ELA standards writers
• Timeline: Projected completion in July 2011
Implementation Tools and Resources for ELA
• Visual depiction of how the standards work together
• Purpose: Create a visual depiction of (1) how each of the reading standards relate to one another, (2) how each of the writing standards relate to one another, and (3) how the reading and writing standards connect. This graphic is intended to illustrate how standards connect to and reinforce other standards and that standards should not be taught in isolation.
• Creators/Lead Authors: Sue Pimentel and David Coleman, lead ELA standards writers
• Timeline: Projected completion in early summer of 2011
What Do Teachers Need to Know?
• The new standards are more rigorous and demanding than standards of 37 states
• Standards are held in common by so many states that it should mean less tailoring of textbooks and assessments
• Standards are internationally benchmarked• Multiple texts (and text types), critical reading, the use of
technology are stressed• Text difficulty is given importance• Backmapping is used to show how attainment can be accomplished

Implementation Tools and Resources for Mathematics
“Gearing Up”• Become familiar with the Critical Areas for their
grade level.• “Unpack” the big ideas, skills and concepts for at
least one Critical Area. • Understand how the Critical Areas help organize
and bring focus to grade level standards.
Implementation Tools and Resources for Mathematics
The new standards support improved curriculum and instruction due to increased:
•Focus, via critical areas at each grade level.
•Coherence, through carefully developed connections within and across grades.
•Clarity, with precisely worded standards that cannot be treated as a checklist.
•Rigor, including a focus on College and Career Readiness and Standards for Mathematical Practice throughout Pre-K-12.
Implementation Tools and Resources for Mathematics
• http://commoncoretools.wordpress.com/
• Curriculum analysis tool
• Examples of structure in the content standards
• The data part of the Measurement and Data Progression
• Massachusetts resources to help teachers engage with the standards
• Complete draft progression for CC and OA (Counting and Cardinality and Operations and Algebraic Thinking)
Implementation Tools and Resources
• PTA Parent Guides • Purpose: Provide grade-by-grade parent guides that reflect the Common
Core State Standards. Individual guides were created for grades K-8 and two were created for grades 9-12 (one for English language arts/literacy and one for mathematics). Eleven Guides were created in all. Website: www.PTA.org/parentsguide State education agencies, school districts, state boards of education, and state/local PTAs may co-brand the Guides. The modifiable Guides are available online at: http://www.globalprinting.com/national-pta/ (Username: pta user, Password: global).

Achieving College Readiness• Allows students to enter college having met clear,
common standards• Interim assessments provide students, teachers, and
parents with detailed, actionable information about knowledge and skills needed for college entry and success
• Students enrolled in IHEs and IHE systems will be able to be exempt from remedial courses if they have met the Consortium-adopted achievement standard for each assessment
Timeline
• Less cost and more capabilities through scope of work sharing and collaboration
• More control through shared interoperable open-source software platforms: Item authoring system, item banking, and adaptive testing platform no longer exclusive property of vendors
• Provides state-to-state comparability, with standards set against research-based benchmarks.
• Better service for students with disabilities and EL students through common, agreed-upon protocols for accommodations
