The Common Core State Standards were developed by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers to provide consistent, clear educational standards across states. They are designed to ensure students are prepared for college and careers. The standards focus on developing critical thinking, problem solving, research, and writing skills. Assessments will be administered throughout the school year via the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers to provide feedback on student progress. States adopting the Common Core Standards will work together on common assessments and performance standards.

Understanding the Common Core State StandardsAchieve, Inc.
This PowerPoint presentation was prepared in 2012.
In 2009, 48 states, 2 territories and the District of Columbia signed a memorandum of agreement with the National Governors Association (NGA) and Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), committing to a state-led process - the Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI).
Achieve partnered with NGA and CCSSO on the Initiative and a number of Achieve staff and consultants served on the writing and review teams. On June 2, 2010, the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics (CCSS) were released, and since then, over 45 states have adopted the Common Core State Standards and are now working to implement the standards.
Achieve has developed materials to help states, districts, and others understand the organization and content of the standards and the content and evidence base used to support the standards. Visit http://www.achieve.org

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
10. Why is this important? Currently, every state has its own set of academic standards, meaning public education students in each state are learning to different levels All students must be prepared to compete with not only their American peers in the next state, but with students from around the world
11. Design and Organization Major design goals Align with best evidence on college and career readiness expectations Build on the best standards work of the states Maintain focus on what matters most for readiness
12. College & Career Readiness Independent Strong content knowledge Respond to various audiences, tasks, purposes and disciplines Comprehend and critique Value evidence Technology & digital media Perspectives & cultures
13. STANDARDS FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS & LITERACY IN HISTORY/SOCIAL STUDIES, SCIENCE, AND TECHNICAL SUBJECTS JUNE 2010
14.
15. Design and Organization College and Career Readiness (CCR) anchor standards Broad expectations consistent across grades and content areas Based on evidence about college and workforce training expectations Range and content
16. Design and Organization K−12 standards Grade-specific end-of-year expectations Developmentally appropriate, cumulative progression of skills and understandings One-to-one correspondence with CCR standards
17. WRITING Production and distribution of writing (standards 4−6) Developing and strengthening writing Using technology to produce and enhance writing Research (standards 7−9) Engaging in research and writing about sources Range of writing (standard 10) Writing routinely over various time frames
19. Design and Organization Standards for Mathematical Practice Carry across all grade levels Describe habits of mind of a mathematically expert student Standards for Mathematical Content K-8 standards presented by grade level Organized into domains that progress over several grades Grade introductions give 2–4 focal points at each grade level High school standards presented by conceptual theme (Number & Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Modeling, Geometry, Statistics & Probability)
29. Statistics & Probability Gr 6 Develop understanding of statistical variability Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. For example, “How old am I?” is not a statistical question, but “How old are the students in my school?” is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students’ ages. Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape. Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.
30. Algebra Grade 8 Graded ramp up to Algebra in Grade 8 Properties of operations, similarity, ratio and proportional relationships, rational number system. Focus on linear equations and functions in Grade 8 Expressions and Equations Work with radicals and integer exponents.

32. Geometry – High School Middle school foundations Hands-on experience with transformations. Low tech (transparencies) or high tech (dynamic geometry software). High school rigor and applications Properties of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations are assumed, proofs start from there. Connections with algebra and modeling
33. Common Core Standards (CCS)Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Common Core Standards –NYS Board of Regents adopted July 19th, 2010. 15% maximum additional for states Completed this summer by teachers, administrators curriculum specialists, professors NYS released for review/feedback in the field in October. Tentative date for NYS adoption January 2011
34. Timeline… 2010-2011 (This year!) Familiarize with CCS/CCSS Begin developing curriculums Testing on 2005 standards 2011-2012 (Next year!) Familiarize with CCS/CCSS Continue to develop curriculums Testing on 2005 standards After testing in May begin “new curriculums”
35. …and time passes… 2012-2013 Expectations aligned with CCSS “interim” assessments administered Curriculum models available PARCC (Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) assessments field tested 2013-2014 CCSS standards taught & tested “interim” assessments administered
36. …and then… 2014-2015 - CCSS and PARCC (Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) assessments operational
37. What is PARCC????? 26 state consortium with 11 Governing States (thus far…) Participating States : Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Governing States: lead the assessment development effort on behalf of the larger Partnership (Arizona, the District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, and Tennessee, with Florida serving as PARCC’s fiscal agent.)
38. What is PARCC suppose to do???? Goal of PARCC Facilitate an assessment system to increase graduation rates and readiness for college and/or careers Provide needed information to all groups that students are on track and graduate prepared Proposed… Computer based testing Administered during the year at the time of completion of material Data available to remediate or accelerate learning Common measures among states since done in partnership
39. More About PARCC More Meaningful Standards: The Partnership’s assessment system will be anchored in the Common Core State Standards which are consistent across states, clear to the public, and provide an on-ramp to college and careers. Higher Quality Tests: PARCC assessments will include sophisticated items and performance tasks to measure critical thinking, strategic problem solving, research and writing. Through-Course Testing: Students will take parts of the assessment at key times during the school year, closer to when they learn the material. Maximize Technology: PARCC assessments in most grades will be computer based. Cross-State Comparability: States in PARCC will adopt common assessments and common performance standards.
40. …new assessments with PARCC Provide longitudinal data to identify if students are on track and help teachers improve instruction and school climate.
41. While we are still at it… Curriculum models may be developed differently than in the past… F.Y.I. Curriculums are NOT just the standards! NYS will issue a RFP to develop P-12 curriculum model. Required??? Yes, for some, maybe… Model will be Sequenced Content-specific Spiraled Include sample tasks Developed spring of 2011, available spring 2012
