Qu son los Estndares Estatales Esenciales Comunes ?

What is CCSS?4

Qu es CCSS?5Los estndares Estatales Esenciales Comunes.Establecer normas de aprendizaje para todos los estudiantes.

Establece altos estndares de aprendizaje en matemticas, lengua y literatura en ingls

Proporcionar a los maestros herramientas para ayudar a los estudiantes a aprender.

First, well explain academic learning standards:

The CCSS State Standards: Academic standards set learning expectations for students. Standards determine what students should know and be able to do by the end of a specific section or by the end of the school year in each grade.

High academic learning standards in math and English language arts;Math; English language acquisitions: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language

Provide teachers with teaching tools and ways students can apply knowledge theyve learned in the previous years grades.

Qu es CCSS?6Los Estndares Estatales Esenciales Comunes.Elevan las expectativas de aprendizaje para todos los estudiantes.

Alinee aprendizaje de los estudiantes con las habilidades necesarias para el empleo y la educacin despus de alta escuela.

Las escuelas y los maestros prepararan a todos los estudiantes para tener xito en la universidad, carrera profesional y la vida.

The CCSS State Standards:Raises learning expectations for all students

Align learning standards with skills need for employment and education after high school allowing students to compete globally.

Developed and voluntarily adopted by 46 states in collaboration with educators and experts.

Is Washington State law and will allow WA schools to prepare all kids for career, college and life.

Qu es CCSS?7

Esto representa un gran cambio en la forma en que los estudiantes aprenden.

Aunque pasar tiempo para ver los resultados- Nuevas pruebas se dar en el ao 2015.

Ayudar a los estudiantes a competir por empleos de calidad en el Estado de Washington y de la nacin.

Until now, all 50 states had different standards. With CCSS, if a student moves from another state to Washington, he/she will be able to pick up where they left off. The standards and expectations will be the same across most states, and thats a big benefit to students.

CCSS State standards are a big change in the way students learn. The standards move students into showing how or demonstrating their knowledge. It will take time to see results (first student test scores released in 2015)

Will help students compete for quality jobs in Washington State, in the US and globally.7

Por quCCSS?8

Why CCSS?8

Por qu CCSS?9Actualmente en Washington:Los empleadores reportan que los estudiantes que se gradan no estn preparados para el empleo

Menos de la mitad de los estudiantes se gradan preparados para 2 aos de colegio o 4 aos de universidad.

Casi la mitad de los graduados que entran a colegios comunitarios deben tomar cursos de recuperacin.

As measured by employer feedback, community college assessments and college entrance exams, currently in Washington:

Employers are reporting that schools are not preparing graduating high school students for employment.

The majority of our students are not ready for college when they graduate from high school. Less than half of our students graduate from high school ready for two- year or four-year college.

Nearly half of all students entering community colleges must take remedial courses. Remedial courses are those classes students to need to so they can take college courses. Remediation is a huge financial and time barrier for families and to students completion of college.9

Por qu CCSS?10

Para el ao 2018, se prev que dos de cada tres empleos en Washington se requiere formacin tcnica o un grado universitario.

Los estudiantes y las familias diversos se ven afectadas en gran forma por la falta de preparacin para el empleo, la escuela tcnica o universidad.

In fact, we, Washington State, is one of only a handful of states where the achievement gap is ever-growing, not shrinking. Growing achievement gap impacts students and families from culturally diverse communities.

By 2018, 2 out of every 3 jobs in Washington state will require a certificate or college degree. This means we need to make sure all students are being prepared to earn a living wage in WA.

The growing achievement gap ensures our graduating students are not prepared for employment, technical school or college. Students from culturally diverse communities are greatly impacted by this gap.

It also means that students and families from culturally diverse communities need a better understanding of common core.

CCSS proporciona un conjunto uniforme de estndares y expectativas de aprendizaje para todos los estudiantes, sin importar donde vivan.

1. Expectations are consistent for all and not dependent on a students zip code. Thats important. It brings more equity to our public education system.

Before CCSS, all 50 states had different sets of learning expectations for what students. Different learning standards greatly impacts certain students, particularly whose families moved frequently.

CCSS provides a consistent set of learning standards and expectations for all students, . no matter where they live.

The standards are focused, coherent, and clear. CCSS goes into fewer topics and focuses on deepening students understanding of key concepts.

The standards build on one another, allowing students to apply what they learn from each grade to real life situations.

Clearer standards help students (and parents and teachers) understand what is expected of them.16

They will help prepare students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in education and training after high school.

Because a different test and different bar:

Student test scores will be initially lower, compared to previous state exams scores. This will be temporary. Research shows that when learning expectations are raised, students work hard to meet them.

There is shared understand that raising learning standards is important for our students futures.
