Every Washington Student and Educator
Our Purpose: To develop a statewide system with resources that support partners at all levels in
their preparation of ALL educators and ALL students to implement the CCSS.
Washington’s State Learning Goals are the Foundation (HB 1209+; RCW 28A.150.210)
CCSS Systems Webinar 2012-13.Pt.4.5-23-13
10
1. Read with comprehension, write effectively, and communicate successfully in a variety of ways and settings and with a variety of audiences;
2. Know and apply the core concepts and principles of mathematics; social, physical, and life sciences; civics and history, including different cultures and participation in representative government; geography; arts; and health and fitness;
3. Think analytically, logically, and creatively, and to integrate technology literacy and fluency as well as different experiences and knowledge to form reasoned judgments and solve problems; and
4. Understand the importance of work and finance and how performance, effort, and decisions directly affect future career and educational opportunities.

CCSS Implementation in WA – The “What” and the “How”
Resources to launch into 2013-14
21
Our guiding beliefs and approach for CCSS Implementation in WA
CCSS Systems Webinar 2012-13.Pt.4.5-23-13
2-Prongs:1. The What: Content Shifts (for students and
educators) Belief that past standards implementation efforts have
provided a strong foundation on which to build for CCSS; HOWEVER there are shifts that need to be attended to in the content.
2. The How: System “Remodeling” Belief that successful CCSS implementation will not take
place top down or bottom up – it must be “both, and…” Belief that districts across the state have the conditions
and commitment present to engage wholly in this work. Professional learning systems are critical
CCSS Systems Webinar 2012-13.Pt.4.5-23-1322
Shifts in ELA1. Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction
and informational texts in addition to literature2. Reading and writing grounded in evidence from the
text3. Regular practice with complex text and its academic
vocabularyThese apply to content area (social studies, science, and technical subject) teachers as well as to English teachers.
Shifts in Mathematics1. 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
The “What”: Common Core ELA and Math Shifts
CCSS Systems Webinar 2012-13.Pt.4.5-23-13

CCSS Implementation Timeline – through a district lens
Phase 1: CCSS Exploration
Phase 2: Build Awareness & Begin Building Capacity
Phase 3: Build State & District Capacity and Classroom Transitions
Phase 4: Statewide Application and Assessment
Ongoing: Statewide Coordination and Collaboration to Support Implementation
Where to Start…FIRST: Phase 1 – CCSS Exploration and Awareness
24
Among… District leaders and leadership teams Building leaders and building teams
Take the time to immerse yourself in and learn about… The WHY - The background and vision of the CCSS The WHAT - The major CCSS shifts in ELA and Math The HOW –
Our state’s approach toward supporting implementation Emerging resources and support systems
CCSS Systems Webinar 2012-13.Pt.4.5-23-13
NEXT: Consider Phase 2 within your Building Context
25
Start the transition by Setting the Course! Identify a core group of leaders (across grades and
subjects; parents? Community partners?) as a lead CCSS implementation team Take stock of current instructional practices, strengths, and
challenges Establish a shared vision that will guide CCSS implementation with
all students and educators – what will it mean for your district/building?
Develop School-Specific CCSS Transition / Implementation Plans In relation to your district’s overall vision and transition plan Access Achieve and Learning Forward materials to inform
professional learning Establish short and long term goals to begin moving forward

CCSS Assessment System Transitions
Our change to Common Core is at the heart of assessment changes for ELA and Math
NCLB requires states to assess state standards We’ve changed standards so we need to change
assessments What we change to is our choice Smarter Balanced is where we are headed for ELA and Math
IMPT: There are currently no assessment consortia established for Science
Graduation requirements are a state’s choice Supt Dorn is proposing reduced graduation requirements
ESEA Waiver changes expectation that all students are proficient next year (2014) – it gives us more time and more individualized school-based goals

Deliverables – Exemplar Instruction Modules…each instructional module will: Start by identifying the learning targets for the lesson, which align with
the CCSS in ELA or Math.
Begin lesson with a formative pre-assessment to determine the level of knowledge students have about the learning target. (ASSESS)
Use formative assessment data/information to plan the lesson so that the teacher knows individual students’ needs related to the learning targets. (PLAN)
Provide examples of instruction that can teach the learning target and also meet the needs of diverse learners.(TEACH)
Conclude the lesson with a formative post- assessment whose data will determine the plan for the next lesson (ASSESS)
Contain embedded links to the Digital Library resources, Assessment Literacy modules and glossary, and additional resources as available.

“Common Core is a different approach to learning, teaching
and testing. Developed and used by 46 states, these standards
provide a deeper understanding of key concepts in math and English-language arts. They
require practical, real-life application of knowledge that
prepares Washington students for success in work and life.”

WA Common Core Campaign Messages: “What is Common Core?”The Common Core is a set of high learning standards in math and English language arts that are designed to better prepare
students for success in college, work and life.
The standards, which set learning expectations for students at every grade level, have been developed and adopted by 45 states -- unprecedented cooperation in our nation’s history.
At every grade level, parents will have a better idea of what their child is expected to know and how they compare to other students across the nation. Until now, every state had different learning standards. Common Core fixes that and raises the bar for learning -- an approach that will help Washington students
compete for the quality jobs our state has to offer.

WA Common Core Campaign Messages: “What is Common Core?”Top 3 things you should know about Common Core1. CONSISTENT LEARNING EXPECTATIONS FOR ALL STUDENTS:
Before Common Core, what counted as grade-level work in one state might have been less than average in another, or vice versa. Common Core provides a consistent set of learning standards and expectations for all students so we can truly know how each child is doing in school, no matter where they live.
2. CLEAR STANDARDS THAT FOCUS ON UNDERSTANDING OVER MEMORIZATION: Common Core goes deeper into fewer topics to ensure a greater understanding of key concepts. This is crucial because the standards for each grade build upon what is learned in the previous grade.
3. BUILDING THE CRITICAL SKILLS STUDENTS NEED IN THE JOB MARKET: Right now, Washington has 25,000 unfilled jobs for highly-skilled workers – and that number will grow to 50,000 by 2017. Our state has the jobs, but lacks qualified applicants. Common Core focuses on real-world skills that students need to get a job and be competitive in the new economy.
