CCSS Implementation in Washington’s Context
Key components of Washington’s CCSS implementation
plan
CCSS in the context of Washington’s current state
learning standards (reading, writing, mathematics, science)
Resources and supports available for districts
Implications across systems and initiatives
Policy decisions impacted by CCSS and Assessment

Our guiding beliefs for CCSS
Implementation in WA…
5/29/12 3
Belief that past standards implementation efforts have provided
a strong foundation on which to build for CCSS.
We are entering a “new generation” of standards implementation…
Belief that successful CCSS implementation will not take place
top down or bottom up – it must be “both, and…”
Coherent and coordinated vision and supports at state, regional, and local
levels
Belief that districts across the state have the conditions and
commitment present to engage wholly in this work.
District teams; Collaborative time for educators; thirst for working with
and learning from other districts
Implementing the Common Core State
Standards in Washington State
May 2012 Common Core Symposium 4
Our Vision: Every student will have access to the CCSS standards through high quality
instruction aligned with the standards every day; and every educator is prepared and
receives the support they need to implement the standards in their classrooms every day.
Our Purpose: To develop a statewide system with resources that supports all school
districts in their preparation of educators and students to implement the CCSS.
This includes building system-wide capacity for sustained professional
learning that can support CCSS implementation now and be applied to
other initiatives in the future.
Our Core Values: This vision can only occur through
core values of clarity, consistency, collaboration,
coordination, and commitment from classrooms,
schools, and communities to the state level.

“Dramatic shift in teaching…”
May 2012 Common Core Symposium 6
“The dramatic shift in teaching prompted by the
common core will require practical, intensive, and
ongoing professional learning – not one-off “spray and
pray” training that exposes everyone to the same
material and hope it sticks”
--Stephanie Hirsch, Learning Forward
March 2012 CCSS Webinar Series Part 3: District and Building
Leaders 7
1. What do all students need to know and be
able to do as a result of the CCSS?
2. What do the adults in the system
need to know and be able to do to
support all students?
3. How do we design a
professional learning
system to support
them?
Shifts in ELA
1. Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and
informational texts in addition to literature
2. Reading and writing grounded in evidence from the text
3. Regular practice with complex text and its academic vocabulary
These apply to content area (social studies, science, and technical subject) teachers
as well as to English teachers.
Shifts in Mathematics
1. Focus: 2-3 topics focused on deeply in each grade
2. Coherence: Concepts logically connected from one grade to the next
and linked to other major topics within the grade
3. Rigor: Fluency with arithmetic, application of knowledge to real world
situations, and deep understanding of mathematical concepts

Washington’s Testing System Transition
Current Testing System
Reading and Math: Grades 3–8 and 10
Writing: Grades 4, 7, 10
Science: Grades 5, 8, 10
SBAC/CCSS Testing System (fully operational in 2014-15)
English/Language Arts and Math: Grade 3–8 and 11*
Science exams are required under ESEA but are not included in
SBAC *11th grade to measure college and career readiness. We are working with higher ed to explore the possible use of these measures as an alternative for college placement (or entrance).

Will 11th grade exam be used for graduation (exit
exam) in Washington?
If these exams are our exit exams what will the
CAA options be?
Will the Summative SBAC test replace our End of
Course exams or will SBAC have End of Course
exams too?
How will Washington’s science tests mesh with
these tests?
