Today is the first in a series of leadership support, as we all begin to implement the common core
state standards & prepare for upcoming assessments.

Before we get started, take a minute at your table to be sure everyone has met,
…in a round of sharing offer the group, what brings you to the table today, and
how are you thinking about today’s purpose?

Assume the role of an architect designing a park.
See page 10 for design requirements.
Sample Performance Task

Three construction companies sent bids for work in the park.
What do you notice about the three bids?What information would you need to compare the bids?

Common Core State Standards (CCSS)
• Assessments• Learning Progressions• Shifts/Practices
The following slides may provide new or previously learned information. Depending on your level of experience with the CCSS you may need to: • Focus on making sense of the information• View through the lens of implications for your
district 37

There are two parts in this performance assessment. In the first part, you will be asked to complete a task in which you synthesize the various perspectives on the American dream you have encountered in
high school and elsewhere. Your analysis of these texts and
the work you do to select, arrange, and understand the different perspectives each offers are important work in and of
themselves, but they also prepare the way for the inclusion of an additional voice—your own. In the second part of the assessment, you will have the chance to offer your own perspective on the American dream by crafting a text of your own about an American dreamer you know.

SBAC Content Specifications for Summative Assessment
• There are 5 learning outcomes or CLAIMS for the CCSS ELA standards:
1. Read closely and critically to comprehend a range of increasingly complex literary and informational texts.
2. Produce effective writing for a range of purposes and audiences
3. Employ effective speaking and listening skills for a range of purposes and audiences.
4. Engage appropriately in collaborative and independent inquiry to investigate/research topics, pose questions, and gather and present information.
5. Skillfully use and interpret written language across a range of literacy tasks.
48
Assessment Reporting Categories: The Claims
“Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and interpret and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency.”
Claim 1: Concepts and
Procedures, ≈ 40%
“Students can solve a range of complex well-posed problems in pure and applied mathematics, making productive use of knowledge and problem solving strategies.”
Claim 2: Problem Solving
≈ 20%
“Students can clearly and precisely construct viable arguments to support their own reasoning and to critique the reasoning of others.”
Claim 3: Communicating
Reasoning ≈ 20%
“Students can analyze complex, real-world scenarios and can construct and use mathematical models to interpret and solve problems.”
Claim 4:Data Analysis and
Modeling ≈ 20%49
“Each claim is a summary statement about the knowledge and skill students will be expected to demonstrate on the assessment related to a particular aspect of the CCSS for mathematics.”
Assessment Principles www.smarterbalanced.org
1. Assessments are grounded in a thoughtful, standards-based curriculum and are managed as part of an integrated system.
2. Assessments include evidence of student performance.
3. Teachers are integrally involved in the development and scoring of assessments.
4. Assessments are structured to continuously improve teaching and learning.
5. Assessment, reporting, and accountability systems provide useful information on multiple measures.
Depth of Knowledge
Assessment Targets, derived from Cluster Headings, are assigned Depth of Knowledge level(s) that students will need to bring to the items or tasks (p. 92).

your district?Michael Yocum 52
Guiding Question
Common Core State Standards
• Standards are essential but inadequate by themselves
• To be successful, educators also need:Curriculum, including units of study, based
on the standardsInstructional materials that align with the
standardsA variety of assessments to measure
student progressResources and tools Time to adjust classroom practicesProfessional development
54
Common Core State Standards Initiative Oakland
The Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI) Oakland provide support and direction for educators as they move toward full implementation:
CCSS aligned curriculum and coherent units of study to highlight needed shifts in content related and pedagogical practices
– Highlight Lessons (Math)– Daily Sessions (ELA)– Formative Assessment– Resources (video, sample student work,
rubrics, instructional websites, etc.)

The CCSS Resources are…

• not self-enacting
• raw materials to support teachers as they reorganize their instruction and work to implement the CCSS
“To help young people learn the more complex and analytical skills they need for the 21st century, teachers must learn to teach in ways that develop higher-order thinking and performance.
Darling-Hammond and Richardson, 2009
To develop the sophisticated teaching required for this mission, education systems must offer more effective professional learning…”

Leading the Change
Leading ChangeBy John Kotter

The Change Problem• Mistake #1: Complacency• Mistake #2: No Support• Mistake #3: Lack of a Vision• Mistake #4: Undercommunicating• Mistake #5: Allowing Obstacles to Block• Mistake #6: Failing to Identify Short-Term
Wins• Mistake #7: Declaring the Victory Too
Soon• Mistake #8: No Anchor to the Future

Eight Step Process
Downloaded from Mind Tools (2011) Kotter’s 8-Step Change http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newPPM_82.htm
Step 1: Create Urgency
The desire to have everything stay exactly the same has a lot of momentum – that’s
called inertia.
- John Kotter

Step 2: Form a Powerful Coalition
The biggest mistake you can make is to
“go it alone”.

can make is to “go it alone.”

Step 3: Create a Vision for Change
A well-articulated, inspiring vision
clears away distractions and
aligns the resources…
to the ultimate goal.
- John Kotter
Step 4: Communicate the Vision
Keep your message simple.

Step 5: Remove Obstacles
Most obstacles melt away when we make up our minds to walk boldly through
them.
- Orison Swett Marden
Step 6: Create Short-Term Wins
Three Characteristics Visible Clear-cut Relevant
- John Kotter
Step 7: Build on the Change
Resistance is always waiting to rear its ugly head
again.
- John Kotter
Step 8: Anchor to the Changes in the Culture
People who are making an effort to embrace the future
are a happier lot than those who are
clinging to the past.
