Using the Standards for Mastery Learning

September 7, 2010Math & ELA

Common Agreements for our Time Together…

• Active participation of all• Cell phones on vibrate/silent• All voices are heard respectfully• Limit sidebars• Listen to learn• Ask questions• Have fun!!

Activity 1: Common Core State StandardsAcademy School District 20

• State of Colorado– 2007 – Colorado State Board recommended review of

standards– 2009 – Colorado State Board adopted Colorado

Academic Standards (CAS) in December– 2010 – Colorado State Board adopted Common Core

in Math and English Language Arts on August 5th

• Common Core National Standards– 2009 – College and Career Readiness Anchors

developed– 2010 – Draft version of Common Core Standards was

released in March; Final version was released in June

Getting To This Point…

Now What?• Over the next 2-3 months, CDE will

be reviewing the Common Core Standards to look at possible changes/additions such as: – 21st Century Skills– Format to match the Colorado

Academic Standards• Final copies will be distributed to

school districts in the fall

Now What?

• Learning Services will –distribute copies to administrators

and teachers–Work with teachers to prepare for

implementation in 2011-12

• National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center)

• Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO)

• The standards were developed in

collaboration with teachers, school administrators, and experts.

Who lead the creation of the Common Core State Standards?

• The process used to write the standards ensured they were informed by:

– The best state standards – The experience of teachers, content

experts, states and leading thinkers

– Feedback from the general public.

The Writing Process

• To provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to know, and be able to do across states.

Mission of the Common Core

• College and career readiness standards developed in summer 2009

• Based on the college and career readiness standards, K-12 learning progressions developed

• Multiple rounds of feedback from states, teachers, researchers, higher education, and the general public

• Final Common Core State Standards released on June 2, 2010

Common Core Development Process

Aligned with college and work expectations

Focused and coherent

Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills

Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards

Internationally benchmarked so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society

Based on evidence and research

State led – coordinated by NGA Center and CCSSO

Common Core State Standards

What the 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• Everything needed to be college and career

ready

Intentional Design Limitations

Standards for Mathematical Practice• Carry across all grade levels• Describe habits of mind of a mathematically expert student

Standards for Mathematical Content• K-8 standards presented by grade level• Organized into domains that progress over several grades• Grade introductions give 2–4 focal points at each grade

level• High school standards presented by conceptual theme

(Number & Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Modeling, Geometry, Statistics & Probability)

Math 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

Math Design and Organization

Activity 3: Discussion Questions

•What are the relationships between the standards?

•What do the verbs in the standards suggest for level of understanding?

•What questions/observations do you have?

Activity 4: Options for Creating Scope & Sequence

• If you would like to physically maneuver them, we have color coded the domains for you to cut them up & move them around.

• There is chart paper available for you to chart the content & skills for each month or quarter.• You could use masking tape to divide your

work area into quarters and place the standards there.

• You may utilize your laptops to input your scope and sequence.

• You may use one of our forms to record your scope & sequence.

• Or any other creative & brilliant ideas you’d like to share with us.

Three main sections• K−5 (cross-disciplinary)• 6−12 English Language Arts• 6−12 Literacy in History/Social Studies,

Science, and Technical SubjectsShared responsibility for students’ literacy development

Three appendices• A: Research and evidence; glossary of key terms• B: Reading text exemplars; sample performance tasks• C: Annotated student writing samples

ELA Design and Organization

Four strands Reading (including Reading Foundational

Skills)• Writing• Speaking and Listening• Language

An integrated model of literacy

Media requirements blended throughout

ELA Design and Organization

• Key Ideas and Details• Craft and Structure• Integration of Knowledge and Idea• Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity• Text Types and Purposes• Production and Distribution of Writing• Research to Build and Present Knowledge• Range of Writing• Comprehension and Collaboration• Presentation of Knowledge and Ideas• Conventions of Standard English• Knowledge of Language• Vocabulary Acquisition and Use

College and Career Readiness topics:

Activity 6-Jigsaw: Group Reading Assignments

Using the ELA standards packet, K-5

•Groups 1-5 will read pages 2-8

•Group 1-Reading strand; you will delve into pgs. 10-14

•Group 2-Foundational Skills Rdg strand; you will delve into pgs. 15-17

•Group 3 -writing stranding; you will delve into pages 18-21

•Group 4-speaking & listening strand; you will delve into pages 22-24

•Group 5-language strand; you will delve into pages 25-29

Any questions about the groups before I give you further directions?
