Washington’s Vision for Education

Every Washington public school student will graduate from high school globally competitive for

work and postsecondary education and prepared for life in

the 21st century.Class of 2011: Bridgeport High School

Implementing the Common Core State Standards in Washington State


Our Vision: Every student will have access to the CCSS standards through high quality instruction aligned with the standards every day; and that all English language arts and mathematics teachers are prepared and receive the support they need to implement the standards in their classrooms every day.

Our Purpose: To develop a statewide system with aligned resources that supports all school districts in their preparation of educators and students to implement the CCSS. 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.

2) Build Awareness of CCSS and Begin Building Statewide Capacity Supports for Standards Implementation Provide initial CCSS overview presentations to OSPI and ESD

staff Identify resources from national organizations, and other states Establish CCSS Quarterly Webinar Series Convene school district leadership teams to learn about

CCSS and build transition plans ** Develop, disseminate, maintain communication materials to

support building awareness Connect districts with resources to align professional learning

and materials to support implementation Develop and begin dissemination of content-specific

transition supports ** Establish CCSS specialist cadres of educators to build

capacity within districts to implement the CCSS **Assessment 2012: MSP/HSPE/EOC based on 2008 WA Math Standards and

2005 Reading/ Writing Standards Provide information about new assessment system development

5) Statewide Coordination and Collaboration to Support Implementation (ongoing) Establish and maintain engagement and coordination of

state Steering Committee, State Communications Advisory, and ESD Network CCSS activities

Convene state professional learning associations and stakeholders to align messages, coordinate efforts, and build statewide capacity

Engage partners to align and leverage state/national initiatives and resources **

Work with key state partners on efforts to build capacity across systems for CCSS implementation (e.g. early learning, higher education) **

Integrate targeted CCSS content support throughout statewide professional learning opportunities

Key next steps in Phase 2 – Spring 2012


Continue Building Statewide Awareness… CCSS Webinar Series, web resources CCSS Symposia for School District Teams CCSS Overview Presentations and Support (OSPI and ESD partners)

Begin Building Statewide Capacity… CCSS Overview and Content-Specific Learning Opportunities

Opportunities in each ESD region for professional learning focused on Math and ELA CCSS – consistent content, no charge to attend

Spring and summer 2012

Establish CCSS “specialist cadres” of educators statewide Commit to building district capacity at system, and content-levels

through regional training opportunities 3-5 school district teams per ESD region selected to serve as

“lighthouse” districts in their region for system-level implementation efforts

Funds provided to attend spring and summer 2012 CCSS professional development

Applications in February 2012 through iGrants

Content Progressions and Major Shifts within Mathematics CCSS (handout)

January 2012

Major ShiftsFocus• Fewer big ideas ---

learn more • Learning of concepts

is emphasized

Coherence• Articulated progressions of topics

and performances that are developmental and connected to other progressions

Application• Being able to apply

concepts and skills to new situations

What will students be doing differently?What will teachers be doing differently?

What structures are in place in your schools/district that can support implementation of the CCSS?

What activities should be continued?What activities should be revisited?
