Presentation ObjectivesTLW:
understand the development process and design of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)
become familiar with the ELA components of the CCSS
become familiar with the Math components of the CCSS
understand the CCSS assessment development and timeline for implementation
be able to locate CCSS website resourcesdiscuss and develop an implementation plan for the
CCSS at the building level
CCSS Development The Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI), coordinated by the National
Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), committed to developing a common core of state K-12 English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics standards.
48 states supported the concept 40 states have officially adopted them External and state feedback teams provided on-going feedback to writing teams
throughout the process Revisions made in response to feedback Final standards released June 2, 2010 Michigan State Board of Education adopted in June 15, 2010
CCSS are: Aligned with college and work expectations Internationally benchmarked so that all
students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society
Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards
Based on evidence and research Robust and relevant to the real world Focused and coherent Fewer, clearer, and higher standards (???)
The Common Core State Standards do NOT define: How teachers should teach All that can or should be taught The nature of advanced work beyond the
core The interventions needed for students well
below grade level The full range of support for English
Language Learners and students with special needs
The assessment framework
Along with CCSS,• Educators must be given resources, tools, and time to adjust classroom practice.• Instructional materials needed that align to the standards.• Assessments must be developed to measure student progress.• Federal, state, and district policies will need to be reexamined to ensure they support alignment of the common core state standards with student achievement.
Design and Organization Content standards define what students should
understand and be able to do Clusters are groups of related standards Domains are larger groups that progress across grades

Design and OrganizationEight Mathematical Practices Carry across all grade levels Describe habits of mind of a mathematically
expert student
CCSS - Eight Standards for Mathematical Practice 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Design and OrganizationState Standards for Mathematical Content Organized into domains that progress over
several grades
Fractions, Grades 3–6 3. Develop an understanding of fractions as numbers. 4. Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering. 4. Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending
previous understandings of operations on whole numbers. 4. Understand decimal notation for fractions, and compare
decimal fractions. 5. Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract
fractions. 5. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and
division to multiply and divide fractions. 6. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and
division to divide fractions by fractions.

Assessment UpdateA new assessment system will be implemented
in 2014-2015 and will be based on the work of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium
This will be a ‘system of formative and summative assessments, organized around Common Core standards, that support high-quality learning and the
demands of accountabilitybalance concerns for innovative assessment
with the need for a fiscally sustainable system that is feasible to implement’
