Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and
California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP)
Parent Academy 10/1/2015
Purpose • Create an understanding of the
development of the Common Core State Standards and the instructional shifts that accompany them.
• Create an understanding of the testing structure used in California.
• Create an understanding of how to read the “Student Score Report”.
• Share the data of Rowland High School.
Why the Common Core? • Who controls the education
system?• NCLB – states develop
standards and assessments; all students proficient by 2014 (showing measurable growth)
• National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) vs. State Proficiency
Why a Common Core?
Resnick, L. B., Stein, M. K., & Coon, S. E. (2008). Standards-based reform: A powerful idea unmoored. In R. Kahlenberg (Ed.), Improving on no child left behind: Getting education reform back on track (pp. 103-138). New York: The Century Foundation.
And California?
Why the discrepancies? • Level, rigor and
proficiency level
What happened?• Charge made by the
National Governor’s Association
1. Focus: Focus strongly where the Standards focus.
2. Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics within grades.
3. Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application.
3 Instructional Shifts in Math
1. Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction. • 50/50 balance K-5• 55/45 in grades 6-8• 70/30 in grades 9-12
2. Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational.
3. Regular practice with complex text and its academic language.

Structure of the Test
• Computer Adaptive Test (CAT)– “tailored to a student’s
ability level”– “item pattern scoring”
• Performance Task (PT)

Final Scoring • Based on the test questions that were
answered, not the amount right or wrong.• The CAT and PT are merged, but CAT is
emphasized.• Scale Score Range

Talking Points• These are baseline results and not to be
compared to previous STAR tests results.• The test is much more rigorous, aligned to
much more difficult standards and we should expect a drop.
• The SBAC summative results should only be considered a piece of the puzzle that informs instruction.
