KANSAS COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS STANDARDS KCCRS
Slide 2
WHY ALL THE HPYE WITH KCCRS? Its a new way of learning and
processing information.
Slide 3
NEED FOR CHANGE IN THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM Predominantly school
are still designed as they were for the industrial period Turning
out mass workforce for high intensity labor Fundamental switch from
manual labor to thinking labor Schools need to change to
accommodate the new information and technology era.
Slide 4
HOW MUCH INFORMATION DO WE HAVE? The study has, for the first
time, used "terabytes" as a common standard of measurement to
compare the size of information in all media, linking and
interpreting research reports from industry and academia. One
terabyte equals a million megabytes or the text content of a
million books. The United States produces 35 percent of all print
material, 40 percent of the images and more than half of the
digitally stored material. (University of California at Berkley
study.)
Slide 5
HOW MUCH INFORMATION? The directly accessible "surface" Web
consists of about 2.5 billion documents and is growing at a rate of
7.3 million pages per day. Counting the "surface" Web with the
"deep" Web of connected databases, intranet sites and dynamic
pages, there are about 550 billion documents, and 95 percent is
publicly accessible. A white-collar worker receives about 40 e-mail
messages daily at the office. (University of California at Berkley
study.)
Slide 6
INFO Print accounts for such a miniscule amount of the total
information storage. Vast amount of unique information stored and
also created by individuals. Original documents created by office
workers represent nearly 90 percent of all original paper
documents, while 56 percent of magnetic storage is in single-user
desktop computers. Ordinary people not only have access to huge
amounts of data, but are also able to create gigabytes of data
themselves Predominance of digital information is because digital
information is potentially accessible anywhere on the Internet and
is a "universal" medium (University of California at Berkley
study.)
Slide 7
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE WORKFORCE? Need for postsecondary
education and training Use of higher order thinking skills Use of
technology Continual change People who can think about thinking
Creative, analytical minds
Slide 8
A NEW GENERATION OF STANDARDS FOR COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS
Advance instruction shift focus from AYP to CCR Cultivate habits of
mind approaches to learning that are intellectual, practical, and
spur student success Facilitate collaboration among students, among
disciplines, among states These standards are our renewed
opportunities to:

Slide 13
COMMON CORE SHIFTS ELA & CONTENT LITERACY
Slide 14
BALANCING INFORMATIONAL AND LITERARY TEXT ELA Shift 1
Slide 15
SHIFT 1 Use a variety of texts Use informational texts,
fictional and nonfictional texts Include other types of texts like
articles, internet, speeches.
Slide 16
BUILDING KNOWLEDGE IN THE DISCIPLINES ELA Shift 2
Slide 17
SHIFT 2 Reading across the disciplines Use content areas to
further reading Reading can be taught in ALL content areas

Slide 20
SHIFT 3 Read and reread Be persistent; read challenging
materials Leveled readers for struggling readers Scaffolding Build
in a joy of read by high interest texts at appropriate reading
level for the student. Use all parts of the text, glossary, table
of contents, picture captions, etc
Slide 21
STAIRCASE OF COMPLEXITY SHIFT 3 Appendix B: Text Exemplars and
Sample Performance Tasks Expectation of proficiency and
independence in reading grade level text
Slide 22
SHIFT 3 Staircase of Complexity PRE-CCSS K-5 Thank you for
hands and feet that keep a beat, for ears that hear, and eyes that
see. Thank you for each bendy knee. Thank you for hands and feet
that keep a beat, for ears that hear, and eyes that see. Thank you
for each bendy knee.
Slide 23
SHIFT 3 Staircase of Complexity POST-CCSS K-5 When you eat
fresh fruits and vegetables and protein foods like meat, milk, and
beans you are giving your body the things it needs to grow.
Slide 24
TEXT BASED ANSWERS ELA Shift 4
Slide 25
SHIFT 4 Questions tied directly to the text, but extend beyond
the literal Students must cite text to support answers Personal
opinions, experiences, and connections to the text are minimized in
favor of what the text actually says or doesnt say Answers to
questions are found in the text and student gives evidence from
text to support their answers.
SHIFT 5 Fewer personal narratives Argumentative takes center
stage as preferred writing genre Use multiple sources Analyze and
synthesize information Develop own voice for writing

WRITING FROM SOURCES SHIFT 5 Appendix C: Samples of Student

AREAS FOR EMPHASIS FOR MATHEMATICS Focus strongly where the
Standards focus, using the Critical Areas Coherence: Think across
grades, and link to major topics within grades Rigor: In major
topics, pursue conceptual understanding, application, and
procedural skill and fluency Mathematical Practices and 6 Shifts -
Considerations
Slide 37
MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES (PAGES 6-7 OF THE DOCUMENT) 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.

Slide 44
DEEP UNDERSTANDING Mathematics Shift 4:
Slide 45
SHIFT 4 DEEP UNDERSTANDING The assumption here is that students
who have deep conceptual understanding can: 1. Find answers through
a number of different routes (More than one way to solve a
problem.) 2. Articulate their mathematical reasoning (Explain how
they got the answer.) 3. Be fluent in the necessary baseline
functions in math, so that they are able to spend their thinking
and processing time unpacking mathematical facts and make meaning
out of them. (Has automaticity of computation skills.) 4. Rely on
their teachers deep conceptual understanding and intimacy with the
math concepts (Teachers have clear understanding of math.)
Slide 46
APPLICATION Mathematics Shift 5:
Slide 47
SHIFT 5 APPLICATION Apply math in other content areas and
situations, as relevant Choose the right math concept to solve a
problem when not necessarily prompted to do so Apply math including
areas where its not directly required (i.e. in science) Provide
students with real world experiences and opportunities to apply
what they have learned
Slide 48
DUAL INTENSITY Mathematics Shift 6:
Slide 49
SHIFT 6 DUAL INTENSITY Practice for fluency Practice for
understanding and application Apply both. Must be able to do both
computation and concepts well. (Focus is no longer one or the other
depending on grade level.)

CHOOSING INDICATORS Indicators are chosen from the appropriate
grade level of the DLM-EE (Dynamic Learning MapsEssential Elements)
We are still telling everyone to put the indicators on their
checklists Write a separate goal and checklist for each content
area.
Slide 55
NO KAMM! Students who have taken the Kamm in the past will now
take the General Education with Accommodations
Slide 56

listed on the IEP Must be specific Shortened assignment; shortened
by 50% Extended timeTime plus Frequent breaksMovement, stretch,
break every 15 minutes Read aloudAt least 50% of all assignments
read aloud. All tests read aloud. (KCA recording) Must be provided
also in General Ed. Classroom Testing coordinator will report
accomodations to state when ordering tests.
