• W202038619 abstract "BY NOW, YOU KNOW if yours was among the 11 states, along with the District of Columbia, named winners in the US Department of Education's Race to the Top competition, which awarded more than $4 billion to states to support education reform plans. If not, then there's good chance you're from school district in one of the 35 states that applied but didn't win, or from district that did not elect to participate in its state's application, and thus you may think that you not be affected by the program. Not so. The changes to standards and assessments initiated by Race to the Top, plus all the investment in the planning effort that states won't want to go to waste, make it likely that even those 35 states that missed out attempt to implement part of their plans without the additional funding. And because technology is at the core of those standards, assessments, and plans, as CIO or tech-using educator you feel the results. To start with, Race to the Top gave big boost to the Common Core State Standards Initiative, which was already steaming ahead. The adoption of these national standards for math and English/language arts was significant component of the competition. About four out of five states have signed on to the standards, with more in the wings, and they are fast becoming the de facto standards for the nation--already, publishers of all kinds are touting that their materials are aligned with them. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] The impact of the new standards be felt across education. Locally, they be tied to any print or digital content, probably through district's instructional improvement systems. At the state level, the standards be attached to a new generation of tests, as they were called by US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan last summer, when he set aside $350 million from the Race to the Top bucket of money to fund competition to develop new assessments that align with 21st century curriculum and expectations. Two winners were named: the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), consortium of 26 states, and the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), consortium of 31 states. Many states, and the District of Columbia, are members of both consortia and eventually choose one or the other. Both assessment systems promise to provide formative and summative tests for grades 3 to 8 and for at least one grade in high school. In addition, PARCC develop optional performance tasks for grades K to 2. Announcing the winners, Duncan said that the new tests account for complex student learning and will better measure the higher-order thinking skills so vital to success in the global economy of the 21st century and the future of American prosperity. To be on track today for college and careers, students need to show that they can analyze and solve complex problems, communicate clearly, synthesize information, apply knowledge, and generalize learning to other settings. Duncan noted the importance of technology in the effort: For the first time, state assessments make widespread use of smart technology. They provide students with realistic, complex performance tasks, immediate feedback, [and] computer adaptive testing, and incorporate accommodations for range of students. Plus, PARCC and SBAC be developing professional development tools--such as curriculum frameworks, instruction modules, and professional learning communities--to support teachers in understanding and using test results. Duncan also hopes that states develop assessments for other core subject matter as soon as common core standards are created for those areas. But when one looks more closely at the Race to the Top proposals from the two consortia, the reliance on technology is evident. PARCC describes an assessment system that elicit complex demonstrations of learning and measure the full range of knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in college and 21st century careers. …" @default.
