What is Excellence?

Evidence of Excellence

As a team, brainstorm characteristics of an excellent school/district.

Choose your top five characteristics.

What would be the evidence?

What are the CCSS?

What are the CCSS?

Criteria for Standards Development

Fewer, clearer & higher

Aligned to college & work expectations

21st Century Skills

Internationally benchmarked

Research & evidence based

So, why do we need the CCSS?

Quality CurriculumBrainstorm what makes a quality curriculum.

Highlight your characteristics in the rubric.

How does this rubric relate to how you answered the pre-quiz?

As a team, rate your district’s curriculum on the rubric. If you are doing both ELA and Math, choose one

color for math and one for ELA.

What is expected in the common core?

Common Core State Standards IntroductionRead Around the Text

Read your quote at your table and discuss.

Find the quotes in the text.

“Read around” the quote in the time given.

Talk at your table discuss any new insights/connections.

Report the two or three most significant insights.

Timeline for Transition

2010-2011 Getting to know the CCSS/Alignment

work 2010 MEAP/2011MME remain the same State focus will be on technical

assistance

2011-2012 Implementation of CCSS in classrooms 2011 MEAP/2012 MME remain the same State focus will be on

instruction/professional development

Timeline for Transition2012-2013 2012 MEAP minimally modified as

necessary to reflect the CCSS 2013 MME remains the same State focus will be on student learning

2013-2014 2013 MEAP based on 2012 model 2014 MME remains the same State focus will be on preparing for new

assessments from SMARTER Consortium

2014-2015 Full implementation - Instruction and

assessment based on CCSS
