March 2013

Today’s Focus How technology and media standards

are infused throughout the CCSS How technology and media supports

the deeper learning goals of the CCSS How technology supports the

professional development needs of teachers to implement the CCSS

About EdTech Leaders Online

Goal: Build capacity to use online learning to meet educational goals

Based at EDC (education non-profit) since 1999

For states, districts, regional centers, universities, other educational organizations

Over 4500 online facilitators trained in 36 states

Online facilitator & course design programs 70+ online courses, including for Common

Core Custom course development Learning Community, facilitated model

Quick CCSS Overview CCSS are: Standards for students to be college and career

ready Build on strengths/lessons of current state

standards Designed to be: coherent, clearer, fewer, higher,

measurable and internationally benchmarked Focus on fostering deeper learningCCSS are not: Curriculum Prescription for how to teach

Cross-grade learning progressions: Organization for Deeper Learning ELA

designed as a “staircase” anchor standards in Reading, Writing,

Speaking and Listening, and Language media and literacy throughout increased focus on

informational text informative/explanatory writing domain specific vocabulary

Coherent Organization for Deeper Learning Math

Standards for Mathematical Practice Consistent across all grade levels Describe mathematical habits of

mind Standards for Mathematical Content

Organized in domains that progress over several grades

High school standards presented by conceptual theme

CCSS Focus on Deeper Learning

“Rigorous: he standards will include high-level cognitive demands by asking students to demonstrate deep conceptual understanding through the application of content knowledge and skills to new situations. High-level cognitive demand includes reasoning, justification, synthesis, analysis, and problem-solving.” - Common Core State Standards Initiative Standards-Setting

CCSS Focus on Technology and MediaFrom the English Language Arts Standards:

“Just as media and technology are integrated in school and life in the twenty-first century, skills related to media use (both critical analysis and production of media) are integrated throughout the standards.”

“Students employ technology thoughtfully to enhance their reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language use.”

Focus on Technology and Media, cont.From the CCSS Mathematics Standards:

“When making mathematical models, [students] know that technology can enable them to visualize the results of varying assumptions, explore consequences, and compare predictions with data... They are able to use technological tools to explore and deepen their understanding of concepts”http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Practice

CCSS Professional Development NeedsEducators need: to understand the the media and

technology standards to understands how technology

supports deeper learning throughout standards

to understand the standards – overall - and how to align their teaching

Online PD for CCSS Approach Focused on content, pedagogy, and assessment

Developed in a learning community model Provide time for teacher reflection Enables teachers to try out strategies in their

classrooms and create new classroom-based CCSS aligned lessons

Enables feedback from course participants and facilitator

Focus on how media and technology support teacher and student deeper learning – providing important experience with technology resources teachers can explore and use with their students
