The second round drafts of the “Content Specifications with Content Mapping for the Summative Assessment of the Common Core State Standards” in both English Language Arts and Mathematics is available and worthy of our close attention. This document provides educators with a clearer look at the 2014-15 assessment plans and the work that must be done to prepare for this rigorous state test.
Join CESA 5 curriculum staff as we delve into this important document and identify how this can be used in our schools to improve teaching and learning.
Explore with us:
• The major claims and assessment targets identifying how students may be expected to learn and demonstrate their knowledge
• The prioritization criteria of grade-level standards
• The summative assessment targets and proposed reporting categories
• Example learning progression frameworks to aid in curriculum mapping
• Evidence of student learning—what does it look like?
• Sample performance tasks—both selected and constructed response
The purpose of this meeting is to provide curriculum leaders networking and examination time, as well as focused study and activities that can be taken back to district to use with staff.
