 Our
students who had to take the first
administration of a new CC Regents (last year
in Algebra and this year in Geometry),
were/are allowed to take both (the CC
Regents and the “old” Regents) and use the
highest of the 2 grades
 NYS
has indicated this may not be available
to our Algebra II students next year, it’s
possible the CC Regents may be all they can
take
 Our
11th graders next year (2015-16), will be
the first group of South Lewis students to
take the CC English Regents
 However,
we have now seen 2 years of
examples of this Regents, and our ELA 9 and
10 ELA has switched to CC instruction
 The
graduating class of 2022, our current 5th
graders, may need to reach a Level 4,
equivalent to our current scale score of 80 in
math and 75 in English, in order to pass those
Regents – it’s called hitting the Aspirational
Measure (considered College and Career
Ready)
 Until
then, a 65 will continue to be
considered passing
 NYS
SS Framework was adopted about a year
ago
 NYS
strongly recommends that districts
implement instruction aligned to the new
framework in non-tested grades (K-8 and 12)
no later than the start of next year (2015-16)
A
lot of the content taught is similar to the
“old” SS standards
 However,
the approach to teaching SS will
become more inquiry based, using primary
documents, research, student development
of questions and conclusions,
thematic/conceptual, etc.

Our current 7th graders will take the first new
Global 10 Regents and US History Regents



Global History & Geography II first administration
US History & Government first administration
Different: The Framework divides Global History
& Geography coursework into two units
Global History & Geography I (Grade 9: Paleolithic era1750)
 Global History & Geography II (Grade 10: 1750present) Global Regents only tests 10th gr. (our current

Global Regents tests 9th and 10th gr)
 Framework
 Field
Guide (includes a sample unit on
Reconstruction that is appropriate for 7th or 8th gr.)

Toolkit Project (NYS is working with SUNY
Binghamton to create inquiries and curriculum
resources available for teachers)

Brain Honey (we will possibly be getting accounts
for all SS teachers to access the SS curriculum
OHM BOCES has available through Brain Honey)
We anticipate that the new Science standards will be a combination
of the Next Generation Sci. Standards and the current NYS Sci.
Standards.
Winter 2014-15
 Determine core science content, conceptual understandings,
and practices required of all students.
 Benchmark student expectations.
 Determine architecture of standards document.
Spring 2015
 Write draft standards.
Summer 2015
 Post draft standards for stakeholder review and comment.
Fall 2015
 Revise standards, based on review and comment.
Winter 2016
 Propose science learning standards for Board of Regents’
adoption.
 If
new Science Standards get adopted in the
2015-16 school year (next year), we would
expect that it will be at least a year to two
before we are expected to implement them,
and then more time before we should expect
changes to Science state exams and Regents
 This
will be coming in the next 2-5 years
Eventually, the state plans to provide
guidance/support in the following 6 areas:
 Standards
 Curriculum
 Professional
Development to Enhance
Instruction
 Assessment
 Materials and Resource Support
 Administrative and Community Support
 Thank
you to each and every one of you for
your hard word, knowledge, and devotion to
the students and district. It is our privilege to
work alongside you!
