Slide 6
The Common Core Standards (CCSS) were developed by the Council
of Chief State School Officers and the National Governors
Association Center for Best Practices, and were formally released
on June 2, 2010. 2011 California County Superintendents Educational
Services Association 6
Slide 7
The focus of the CCSS is to guarantee that all students are
college and career ready as they exit from high school. 2011

Overarching Goals for K-12 CCSS Ensure that our students are:
Meeting college and work expectations Prepared to succeed in our
global economy and society, and Provided with rigorous content and
applications of higher knowledge through higher order thinking
skills. 2011 California County Superintendents Educational Services

Slide 9
The CCSS build upon the strengths and lessons of current state
standards. 2011 California County Superintendents Educational
Services Association 9
Slide 10
What are the benefits of the CCSS? Internationally benchmarked
Student expectations are clear to parents, teachers, and the
general public Allows for collaboration with other states on best
practices, instructional materials, and professional development
Reduces costs to the state 2011 California County Superintendents

Slide 11
The Common Core State Standards A voluntary state-led effort
coordinated by the CCSSO and NGA Includes parents, educators,
content experts, researchers, national organizations and community
groups from 48 states, 2 territories and the District of Columbia

Slide 12
Students with Special Needs The CCSS provide an historic
opportunity to improve access to rigorous academic content
standards for students with disabilities. Many experts in this area
were involved in the development of these standards to meet IEP
needs. 2011 California County Superintendents Educational Services

Slide 13
English Learners The CCSS articulate rigorous grade level
expectations to prepare all students to be college and career
ready, including English learners. 2011 California County
Superintendents Educational Services Association 13
Slide 14
English Learners The development of the ELA CCSS involved
linguists and EL experts. And they had a huge impact on the
language and vocabulary standards The developers of the CCSS were
the developers of ELD standards for the CCSS. 2011 California
County Superintendents Educational Services Association 14
Slide 15
ELD Key Features Handout Per Assembly Bill 124, the California
Department of Education (CDE) was required to update, revise, and
align the state's 1999 English Language Development (ELD) standards
to California's Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for
English-Language Arts (ELA) that were adopted by the State Board of
Education in August 2010. The State Board of Education adopted the
updated California ELD standards on November 7, 2012. California
ELD standards
Slide 16
ELD Key Features Handout A set of ELD standards for each grade
level, Kindergarten through grade 8, and for the high school grade
spans 9-10 and 11-12 Correspondence to CCSS ELA standards noted for
each ELD standard
Slide 17
ELD Key Features Handout Three English language proficiency
levels: Emerging, Expanding, and Bridging; Standards organized into
three language modes: collaborative, interpretative and productive,
and three categories under the heading learning about how English
works: structuring cohesive texts, expanding and enriching ideas,
and connecting and condensing ideas.

The Six Shifts (Changes)From 1997 Standards to Common Core Look
at the ELA/Literacy and Math handouts Make notes when you gain a
deeper understanding of a Shift Be ready to discuss the shifts
Slide 21
ELA Shifts Math Shifts
Slide 22
The Standards for Mathematical Practice - SMPs The same for
TK-12 Replace Mathematical Reasoning Assessed on the Measure of
Academic Performance and Progress (the new CST)
Slide 23
Video A Table Problem Lets watch a teacher using a CCSS
approach to problem solving, integrating many speaking, listening,
reading, and writing standards with mathematics.
Slide 24
Symbolic Representation With a small group, think of a symbol
or picture that illustrates your favorite shift(s). Draw your
symbol on a piece of paper. Be ready to share out.
Slide 25
Activity the Take-Aways With your team, create a picture that
illustrates your assigned shift. Use the mini-poster paper. Every
team member must draw a piece of the picture. Be ready to
share.

Smarter Balanced Sample Items and Performance Tasks OSPI
Assessment and Student Information October 11, 2012
Purpose of Sample Items and Performance Tasks Demonstrate rigor
and complexity of ELA/literacy and mathematics items Showcase
variety of item types: Selected response Constructed response
Technology enhanced Performance tasks Help teachers continue
planning shifts in instruction related to Common Core State
Standards (CCSS)
Slide 31
Smarter Balanced Assessment System Components 31 Common Core
State Standards specify K-12 expectations for college and career
readiness Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations for
college and career readiness All students leave high school college
and career ready Teachers and schools have information and tools
they need to improve teaching and learning Interim assessments
Flexible, open, used for actionable feedback Summative assessments
Benchmarked to college and career readiness Teacher resources for
formative assessment practices to improve instruction
Slide 32
Exploring the Sample Test Questions
Slide 33
Key Features of Sample Questions Mathematics and English
Language Arts/Literacy items Computer Adaptive Testing items and
Performance Tasks: Selected response Constructed response
Technology enhanced On the spot scoring for many items Items and
tasks will be similar for summative and interim assessments
Selected Response (SR) Items Series of options from which the
student must choose a correct response(s). Will measure one or more
content standard(s).
Slide 37
Selected Response
Slide 38
Slide 39
Constructed Response Items Allows assessment of claims and
targets that are of greater complexity. Typically requires more
analytical thinking and reasoning than a Selected Response item.
Eliminate the guessing factor associated with typical Selected
Response items. Administered during the Computer Adaptive Testing
portion of the Summative Assessment. Artificial Intelligence (AI)
may be used for scoring.

Slide 43
Technology Enhanced Items Used when Selected Response (SR) and
Constructed Response (CR) items cannot produce sufficient evidence.
The hope of Smarter Balanced is that the use of Technology Enhanced
(TE) items on the Summative Assessment will encourage classroom use
of technology as part of instruction.

Extended Constructed Response
Slide 51
Response/Rubric
Slide 52
Provides a measure of a students ability to integrate knowledge
and skills across multiple standards. Smarter Balanced defines this
as a key component of college and career readiness. Used to better
measure depth of understanding, research skills, and complex
analysis, which cannot be adequately assessed with Selected
Response or Constructed Response items. Performance Tasks
Slide 53
Reflect real-world problems. Multiple approaches are possible.
Presents content that is relevant and meaningful to students.
Address 21st century skills. Focus on big ideas rather than facts.
Up to 120 minutes to administer. Examine the Performance Tasks:
Determine what students need to know and be able to do to be
successful.
