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?

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

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
45
American dreamer you know.

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

level(s) that
students will need
to bring to the
items or tasks

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 standards
Instructional materials that align with the
standards
A variety of assessments to measure student
progress
Resources and tools
Time to adjust classroom practices
Professional development
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

The CCSS Resources are…

• raw materials to
support teachers as
they reorganize their
instruction and work
to implement the
CCSS
63
“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. To develop the
sophisticated teaching required for this
mission, education systems must offer more
effective professional learning…”

Eight Step Process
 Step 1: Create Urgency
 Step 2: Form a Powerful Coalition
 Step 3: Create a Vision for Change
 Step 4: Communicate the Vision
 Step 5: Remove Obstacles
 Step 6: Create Short-Term Wins

 Step 8: Anchor the Change in the Culture
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”.
- John Kotter

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.

Step 6: Create Short-Term Wins

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.
