Critical Conversations• AVATAR’s Critical Conversations may begin at

any place on the pyramid.

• Each region may move along the pyramid in different ways.

• A good place to start is building foundational knowledge of the College and Career Readiness Standards and understanding their alignment with the TEKS.

Building a Common Foundation for College and Career Readiness

Agree on:

1. A conceptual framework

2. Understandings of terms and ideas

Texas Essential Knowledge and SkillsSec. 28.001. PURPOSE. It is the intent of the legislature that the essential knowledge and skills developed by the State Board of Education under this subchapter shall require all students to demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to read, write, compute, problem solve, think critically, apply technology, and communicate across all subject areas. The essential knowledge and skills shall also prepare and enable all students to continue to learn in postsecondary educational, training, or employment settings. 74th Legislative Session (1995)

1. What are the TEKS?They are state-mandated learning standards for students from elementary through high school in the state of Texas; what students should and be able to do in each subject area. 2. Why were the TEKS created?Prior to the creation of the TEKS, Essential Elements were used. More specific and clear guidelines were needed so teachers are knowledgeable about what to teach and assess. 3. Who developed the TEKS?Groups of teachers, administrators, parents, business people, and members of the general public made up the subject-specific TEKS writing teams.

• Represent a full range of knowledge and skills that students need to succeed in college and careers.

• Emphasize the content of courses. • Introduce disciplinary structures to familiarize

students with key concepts and content in each of the core academic areas.

• Include a set of cross-disciplinary standards that apply to specific and all content courses.

T E X A S C C R SCollege and Career Readiness

Standards

• The CCRS differ from high school graduation standards by emphasizing content and cross-disciplinary standards to determine readiness instead of mastery of skills and knowledge.

• The content standards stimulate students’ deeper levels of thinking and concentrate on foundational skills in reading, writing, research, data use, and technology.

• The cross-disciplinary standards focus on intellectual curiosity, problem solving, academic behaviors, work habits, and academic integrity.

What is College and Career Readiness?

• College and career readiness can be defined as the level of preparation necessary for students to:– enroll and succeed, without remediation, in entry-

level, college credit bearing, general education courses.

– apply basic knowledge and skills, such as critical thinking and problem solving, to concrete situations in order to function in the postsecondary setting and/or workplace.

Source: Association for Career and Technical Education & David Conley “Redefining College Readiness”, as cited in Texas College & Career Readiness Center, 2012)

Texas University Common Core Curriculum

• Why Change It?– The curriculum needs to reflect current and future demands

of students at the college level and in the workplace.– It represents a change from the belief of core as “basics” or

just needed courses to a set of essential college level skills and knowledge to be learned in a variety of disciplines.

• Purpose:– “Through the core curriculum, students will gain a

foundation of knowledge of human cultures and the physical and natural worlds; develop principles of personal and social responsibility for living in a diverse world, and advance intellectual and practical skills that are essential for all learning” (THECB, 2011)

Reference Course Profile: What is it?• According to the THECB, a reference course profile is a

composite course document that includes:– a comprehensive syllabus– a list of prerequisite knowledge and relevant CCR Standards – a list of learning outcomes – a schedule of lessons with attached sample assignments and

assessments

• Reference course profiles should share student and faculty expectations and serve as a resource for alignment.

Let’s Review Relevant Assessments and Their Role

in Course Alignment.

STANDARDS INSTRUCTION ASSESSMENT

CONNECTIONS

Standards require a change in both teaching and assessment. Standards and assessment are

intertwined and need to be integral parts of the curriculum and the program of instruction.

Steiner, J. (1998). Why have a standards-based curriculum and what are the implications for the teaching-learning-assessment process? Retrieved from: http://www.etni.org.il/red/etninews/issue4/whystandard.html

AssessmentIn a standards-based curriculum, assessment is

viewed not only as a final product (summative), but also as a continual process (formative) that provides

pupil performance data to teachers and students regarding their progress towards achieving the

standards.Therefore, it is necessary to move beyond testing

methods which concentrate on memory, and develop those which measure understanding and application

(Genesee, et.al., 1998; Winters, 1995).

What is the TSI?

• Texas Success Initiative (TSI) requires all students enrolling in public colleges and universities to take an approved test to demonstrate readiness for college-level work, unless otherwise exempt.

• Currently approved tests include: ACCUPLACER, ASSET, COMPASS, AND THEA–Minimum state standards are set for each test, yet

institutions may set higher standards and/or require additional departmental placement tests

Source: The Tipping Point in Developmental Education (McCoy & Mejia) retrieved from: http://www.mheducation.com/uar/Developmental_Ed_White_Paper.pdf

Upcoming TSI ChangesTexas Education CodeChapter 4, Subchapter C, Section 453.3Assessment--the use of a Board-approved instrument to determine the academic skills of each entering undergraduate student and the student's readiness to enroll in freshman-level academic coursework.

What does this mean?• The Commissioner will recommend a uniform performance

standard for college readiness, placement in Developmental Education or Adult Basic Education.

• With the one test, there will be one cutoff score that determines college readiness to be in place by Fall 2013.

• Institutions may not set a higher standard.

The Connection:STAAR and TSI Implementation

Other Considerations in College and Career Readiness…

• Advanced Placement (AP) & International Baccalaureate (IB) programs – Many more participating in courses– Performance still trailing number of attempts

• Dual Credit– High rates of participation– Quality and rigor difficult to monitor

• Early College High Schools– Proficiency and graduation rates higher than local high schools – Stronger student performance linked to ECHSs located on college

campuses– Not all college credits earned transfer to college by institution upon

graduation from a ECHSSource: Six Years and Counting: The ECHSI Mature, 2009http://www.earlycolleges.org/publications.html#earlycollege:researchandevaluations

Critical Questions• How does one change teachers’ beliefs about

the teaching-learning-assessment process? • How can we help teachers deal with change

regarding their pedagogical values and beliefs and the development of new methodological skills?

• What are the ways that we can help educators at all levels understand the standards and the implications for their teaching?

Texas Faculty Collaborati ve:College & Career Readiness Initiative

• THECB has established the college and career readiness standards Faculty Collaborative Initiative to provide faculty at institutions of higher education who prepare pre-service teachers with the latest information and resources regarding the implementation of the standards.

• The activities of the Faculty Collaborative are designed to ensure that prospective teachers receive preparation that is closely aligned with the College and Career Readiness Standards. This will in turn allow new teachers to better prepare their students to be college-ready.
