CC Assessment Roll-out Timeline:
2014-15 new assessment, Smarter Balanced Assessment administered. Computerized (results within 3 weeks), replacing CSTs, based on common core, administered 4x/yr, shorter, starting in 3rd grade, 3rd-7th, 9, 11. Paper/pencil option available. Math only 40% computerized.
2013-14 Field testing of Smarter Balanced Assessment, CSTs still administered
2012-13 Next school year, piloting test with no feedback, CSTs still administered
Questions/Concern: K-2?, Seniors aren't tested, tech funding for the computers necessary to administer. How does CA CC compare to nat'l? CST standards vs CC standards' scope and sequence (grade changes) and lost skills. Modified version comparable to CMA available? What will Science and SS look like?
Our plan:
SY11-12: K-12 Curriculum familiarizes itself with CC and establish plan
SY12-13: Train teachers in CC
SY 13-14: Instruction using CC
SY 14-15: Administer SBA
Jane summarized the CC using a ppt from CA County Superintendents Educational Services Association. (see document). Adopted by 42 states. Option to add up to 15% (which CA did). www.cde.ca.gov/ highlights our additions in red.
Strands discussed. Standard #1= same topic idea consistent through grade levels. Informational text emphasized.
Standards packet (10/15/10 update) reviewed. CA additions underlined in this version. Committee grouped to answer questions to familiarize ourselves with the CC.
Committee grouped by interest to review the following areas:
Literature, Info Text, Writing, Speaking and Listening, Language, History/SS, Science/Tech. We picked one sub-standard for the area and traced it across K-12 and discussed the key points, big shifts, how will we help teachers to understand it.
Questions/concerns: There is interest in seeing the standards(current and CC) side-by-side and model assignments. Curriculum for CC?
Pat Biagi distributed course outlines and industry sector writing team recommendations. (Pitch of a roof= slope of a line). CTE standards are under review and will be modified in the next year. They're looking to partner teachers(across courses) in order to map the standards.
