Standards
College and career-ready standards. A new set of academic standards benchmarked against the best national and international expectations. The goal is to set fewer, clearer and higher standards that, when achieved, ensure a student is ready for post-secondary education and work. Standards include Common Core in ELA and Math and NC Essential Standards in all other subjects. Curricular support resources will be developed to support the transition.

Extended Content Standards
All Extended Content Standards will be on the same operational time line as the standards in each individual content area.
Overview of the Common Core Initiative
o State-led and developed Common Core Standards for K-12 in English Language Arts and Mathematics
o Focus on learning expectations for students, not how students get there
Similar Goals for Standards
North Carolina’s Mandates
“Essential”
“Narrow”
“Deep”
“Rigorous + Relevant”
“Readiness for College and
Career”
Common Core
“Essential”
”Fewer, Higher, Clearer”
”Focused”
“Enduring”
“Measurable”
“Clear and Concise”
“Prioritized and Focused”
”Rigorous”
”Readiness for College and Career”
Common Core Rationale
o EquityStudents expectations the same regardless of where they live
o College and Career ReadinessStudents need to be more than proficient
o Comparability State results will be comparable through common assessments
o Sharing of ResourcesThe ability to share instructional materials across state lines can improve practice
o Economies of ScalePossible savings due to sharing of resources and assessments
o Student MobilityStudents moving into and out of states will have the same standards
June 3, 2010SBE Adoption of the
Common Core Standards

o Text complexity
o Balance of literature and informational texts
o Direct link to college and work readiness
o Literacy standards for science and social studies
o Clear vertical progressions across grades
ELA Standards Advances
o Focus in early grades on number (arithmetic and operations) to build a solid foundation in math
o Evened out pace across the grades
o High school math focus on using math and solving messy problems, similar to what would see in the real world
o Problem-solving and communication emphasized
Math Standards Advances
Tools and training, blending online and face-to-face learning experiences to help educators increase effectiveness and transition to new standards and assessments. Included are the creation of instructional toolkits, NC Falcon formative assessment training modules, new standards roll-out, using data to make decisions and Response to Instruction.

Benchmark
A comprehensive assessment system with a focus on using assessments to improve instruction and assess learning and instructional effectiveness. Plan includes updated EOG and EOCs, a tool to build common benchmark assessments and a variety of formative assessment tools including progress monitoring tools, writing assessments, in-class formative assessment training, portfolio assessments and data tools to improve instruction.
Next Generation Assessments
• A comprehensive balanced assessment system
• Updated EOG and EOCs (online, innovative item types, computer adaptive)
• Tools to build common benchmark assessments and a variety of formative assessment tools
• Data tools to improve instruction
Comprehensive Balanced Assessment SystemFormative Assessments: A process used by teachers and students during instruction that provides feedback to adjust ongoing teaching and learning to help students improve their achievement of intended instructional outcomes.
Formative Assessment includes:•Questioning •Discussions •Learning Activities •Feedback •Conferences •Interviews •Student Reflections
Summative Assessments: A measure of achievement to provide evidence of student competence or program effectiveness
Summative Assessment includes:•Selected Response Items
Multiple-Choice True/False Matching
•Short Answer Fill in the Blank 1-2 Sentence Response
•Extended Written Response •Performance Assessment

Online EOCs and EOGs
NC is moving towards online only assessments, accessed through the IIS (by 2014-2015).
Online assessments will allow the state to incorporate technology-enhanced items and implement computer adaptive testing, which will allow for a more accurate assessment of student learning.
Support for moving to online assessments includes working with LEAs/Charter Schools to ensure that schools have the logistical and technical knowledge and skills to move rapidly to an online testing environment and a Best Practices Guide for Online Assessments (July 2011).
Online EOCs and EOGsNOW: All EOCs are available online; All LEAs are expected to participate
2012/2013: While all EOCs will be available online, the following assessments will be developed specifically for an online environment, some with technology-enhanced items. LEAs are encouraged to complete them online.
EOG Science at Grades 5 and 8NCEXTEND2 Science at Grades 5 and 8NCEXTEND2 Mathematics and ELA Grades 3-8EOC English IEOC Algebra IEOC BiologyNCEXTEND2 English INCEXTEND2 Algebra INCEXTEND2 Biology
2014/2015: The plan is to have all EOCs/EOGs developed specifically for an online environment with limited use of an alternate paper and pencil version.
Instructional Improvement System (IIS)Single, user-friendly online platform to house and deliver new tools, particularly the
delivery of formative and summative assessments, provision of data analysis tools, delivery of professional development and instructional resources to teachers and establishment of
online learning communities.
Instructional Improvement System (IIS)
The IIS will be:• An online resource
• An integrated repository of shared tools and applications
• A tool to help educators improve instruction
• A device to integrate data from multiple sources, including NC WISE
Tools will be available for managing formative assessment, student work and organizing classroom activities.
Classroom and Instruction Management Tools (potential tools)
Student Artifact Repository for evidence of learning such as digital work, including documents, video files, photographs, etc.
Classroom grouping, organization, and seating tools.
Tools to document use of formative assessment such as teacher observations about student skill and behavior.
Grade management tools, such as grade books, student work reports, etc.
IIS Tools
The Educator Evaluation System will be available, with direct links to professional development modules.
