Transition to new testing
Spring 2010 First year of grades 3-8 Measurements of Student
Progress (MSP) and High School Proficiency Exam (HSPE)
New grades 3-8 mathematics assessments aligned to new content standards
Began online testing in grades 6-8 in reading and math
Coming up...Spring 2011 End-of-course math exams; new Gr 5 & 8 science exams Online testing: Add grades 4 and 5 in reading and math
and grades 5 and 8 in science

Math test changes
In Spring 2010, grades 3-8 MSP tested students on new math learning standards
2010 results set new baseline for grades 3-8 MSP
Comparisons to previous years are inevitable, but not apples-to-apples because of new test and new standards
Need at least three years of data to determine effectiveness of new math standards.

NEnd of Course and Collection of Evidence Update
EOC: Alg 1/Int 1 and Geom/Int2 scheduled last three weeks of 2010-11 Students take EOC in course of enrollment Graduation requirement for Class of 2013 to reach proficiency in
both exams “Make-ups” for those who completed Alg or Geom sequence prior
to 2010-11 will be available (but are not required to be taken this year)
OSPI is developing a legislative proposal that, if approved, will reduce the required EOC exams to one
COE: Collection of Evidence opportunities, required under current law
for graduation-required tested subjects, cost $600 per portfolio—very expensive

NThe Common Core State Standards Initiative - BackgroundBeginning in the spring of 2009, Governors and state commissioners of education from 48 states, 2 territories and the District of Columbia committed to developing a common core of state K-12 English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics standards.
States agreed to participate in the development process, provide input on drafts, and consider eventual adoption.
Signing MOA did not require commitment to adopt.
The Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI) is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) with assistance from Project Achieve, ACT and SAT (College Board). O

Common Core State Standards Design
Building on the strength of current state standards, the CCSS are designed to be:
– Focused, coherent, clear and rigorous
– Internationally benchmarked
– Anchored in college and career readiness*
*Ready for first-year credit-bearing, postsecondary coursework in mathematics and English without the need for remediation.
– Evidence and research based

Intentional Design Limitations
What the Standards do NOT define: How teachers should teach All that can or should be taught The nature of advanced work beyond the core The interventions needed for students well below grade
level The full range of support for English language learners
and students with special needs Everything needed to be college and career ready

National Process and Timeline
K-12 Common Standards:
Core writing teams in English Language Arts and Mathematics (See www.corestandards.org for list of team members) drafted standards
External and state feedback teams provided on-going feedback to writing teams throughout the process
Draft K-12 standards were released for public comment on March 10, 2010; 9,600 comments received nationwide (~ 900 from WA)
Validation Committee of leading experts reviewed standards
Final standards were released June 2, 2010
As of September 8, 2010, 36 states have formally adopted the common core state standards.

NWhat does this mean for Washington’s existing Learning Standards?
Washington’s current Learning Standards in all subjects should continue to be implemented in classrooms. Current state assessments will align with these standards
through the 2013-14 school year.
If the Common Core State English language arts and mathematics standards are formally adopted in WA, They would be phased in over 2 years to replace WA’s current
reading, writing, and mathematics standards by the 2014-15 year.
Future Common Core State Standards in other subjects would be considered as they are drafted and finalized.

Washington Context for Considering
Involvement since November 2009 Review and input on drafts of English language arts and mathematics
standards Initial comparison of WA standards to Common Core are positive
2010 legislation (E2SSB 6696, Section 601) provides for: “Provisional adoption” by the Superintendent by Aug. 2, 2010 Detailed report due to Legislature in Jan. 2011
o To include: detailed comparison, timeline and costs, recommendations for possible additions
Formal adoption and implementation will begin following 2011 session unless otherwise directed by the Legislature
WA revision cycles for reading and writing standards

Comparison Overview
Two state-level comparisons External Analysis – Hanover Research (final drafts completed)
o Snapshot of “how well” WA standards match to the CCS Washington-led Comparison (work to be done in late August)
o Snapshot of “how well” CCS match to WA standards
So that… WA educators can have a clear understanding of CCS in relation
to current standards We can determine what areas may need augmentation in which
grades for subsequent support
Both available online – late September at

Adoption ≠ Implementation
State Superintendent has authority to adopt – Following collaboration, input, and buy-in from key partners and
stakeholder groups (State Board, Legislature, state curriculum advisors, content experts, etc.)
Review of Comparison Documents
States must adopt 100% of the common core standards and may consider adding “up to” 15% to the standards, if necessary States responsible for setting the criteria and assessing the additions
Once adopted, implementation would be phased in over several school years; assessment of the common core would follow in 2014-15 school year

System Highlights
Summative assessments using online computer adaptive technologies• Efficiently provide accurate measurement of all students, across the
spectrum of knowledge and skills• Incorporate adaptive precision into performance tasks and events• Will assess full range of CCSS in English language arts and
mathematics• Describe both current achievement and growth across time,
showing progress toward college- and career-readiness• Scores can be reliably used for state-to-state comparability, with
standards set against research-based benchmarks • The option of giving the summative tests twice a year.

Optional interim/benchmark and formative assessments • Are aligned to and reported on the same scale as the summative
assessments• Help identify specific needs of each student, so teachers can provide
appropriate, targeted instructional assistance• Incorporate significant involvement of teachers in item and task
design and scoring• Are non-secure and fully accessible for use in instruction and
professional development activities • Provide students and teachers with clear examples of the expected
performance on common standards.

Online, tailored reporting system • Supports educator access to information about student progress
toward college- and career-readiness• Allows for exchange of student performance history across districts
and states • Uses a Consortium-supported backbone, while individual states
retain jurisdiction over access permissions and front-end “look” of online reports.

Benefits and efficiencies from “economies of scale” due to a multi-state consortium • Cost savings: SMARTER English language arts/mathematics estimated
at ~$21 per student (below current for almost all SBAC states) [Interim/benchmark & formative an additional ~$7 per student]
• Shared interoperable open source software platforms: Item generation, item banking, and adaptive testing no longer exclusive property of vendors
• Common, agreed-upon protocols for accommodations for students with disabilities and ELL students.
