Common Core State Standards
• Grows out of an initiative of state governors
• Not a national curriculum, but 45 states have voluntarily adopted
• Bi-partisan support- – Begins during the Bush Administration as No Child
Left Behind– Continues under the Obama Administration as
Race to the Top

Common Core State Standards

• New York has adopted CCS in ELA and Math
• There are significant shifts in what is taught and how things are taught
• You will learn a lot more specifics in the workshops to follow
Common Core State Standards
![Page 11: Welcome to Parent Academy Bethpage Schools October 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56812acd550346895d8ea3d1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Common Core State Standards• In Bethpage we believe the Common Core
Standards are a positive development– Deeper thinking– Exploratory– Rigor
• HOWEVER, we also believe that they take time to implement and that the assessments were rushed into place
![Page 12: Welcome to Parent Academy Bethpage Schools October 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56812acd550346895d8ea3d1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Common Core State Assessments
![Page 13: Welcome to Parent Academy Bethpage Schools October 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56812acd550346895d8ea3d1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: Welcome to Parent Academy Bethpage Schools October 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56812acd550346895d8ea3d1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Common Core State Assessments• NYS has had assessments in grades 3-8, but
last year they were all changed to Common Core assessments
• Problem is we only received the Common Core curriculum the same year
• Whole purpose of Common Core is to build fluency in ELA and Math over time
• State predicted a 30% drop in results and that is exactly what happened
• State determines the passing rate differently on each test after the test is administered
![Page 15: Welcome to Parent Academy Bethpage Schools October 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56812acd550346895d8ea3d1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Parents received assessment results a few weeks back and were probably pretty shocked
• Dramatic decrease in student scores
• Bethpage students fared relatively well, but we still saw a decline
• State officials “promise” better results next year
Common Core State Assessments

ExampleGrade 7 Math Cut Scores
A score of 671 last year meant the student received a
Three, but this year the equivalent would be 290 and the student would receive a
One
![Page 17: Welcome to Parent Academy Bethpage Schools October 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56812acd550346895d8ea3d1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
So what is the value of last year’s state assessments?
Probably not much in year one.

New Teacher and Principal Evaluation System
![Page 19: Welcome to Parent Academy Bethpage Schools October 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56812acd550346895d8ea3d1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
New Teacher and Principal Evaluation System (APPR)
• APPR has led to an explosion of testing – Some of it good (actually very good- e.g., NWEA)– Some of it not so good
![Page 20: Welcome to Parent Academy Bethpage Schools October 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56812acd550346895d8ea3d1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
New Teacher and Principal Evaluation System APPR
• Teachers and Principals must have 40% of their evaluation based on how students perform on assessments– 20% State Assessment– 20% Local Assessment
• Rest of evaluation based on observations, portfolio, professionalism, communication
![Page 21: Welcome to Parent Academy Bethpage Schools October 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56812acd550346895d8ea3d1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
New Data System
![Page 22: Welcome to Parent Academy Bethpage Schools October 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56812acd550346895d8ea3d1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
New Data System (inBloom)
![Page 23: Welcome to Parent Academy Bethpage Schools October 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56812acd550346895d8ea3d1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
New Data System (inBloom)
• State is aggregating all student data• Bethpage is NOT an active participant• Bethpage Board of Education rejected Race to
the Top and we do not have to participate• We are submitting the minimal amount of data
permitted by law• No Social Security numbers, no IEP’s, no
disciplinary records, no medical information
![Page 24: Welcome to Parent Academy Bethpage Schools October 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56812acd550346895d8ea3d1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
With all this change let’s remember. . .
