- W24731418 abstract "[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] AS DISTRICTS across the country transition their curriculum to align with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), the big question remains: What will the Common Core Online Assessments look like? Kathleen Porter-Magee, senior director of the High Quality Standards Program at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, says, Most districts I speak with are on the unwrapping and mapping the content and curriculum side, because in a lot of ways what these assessments are going to look like on the computer is still a little bit of a black box. Even with the release of sample test items, the situation is unnerving to teachers and administrators who have accountability systems tied to these assessments. Geoffrey Fletcher, deputy executive director of the State Educational Technology Directors Association, says that districts should focus on how best to teach content with the depth and rigor set forth in the Common Core Standards, rather than trying to figure out the game of teaching to the online assessment itself. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Ever since the RFT has come out to create these online assessments, we at SETDA have said that the technology is going to be the easy part of getting ready for these tests, Fletcher says. The hard part is going to be getting teachers to fully understand how to teach to the Common Core--because it's a fundamentally different way of teaching for most teachers. So what can schools do to ensure that their teachers are as prepared as possible for the Common Core Online Assessments? These two case studies offer some guidance. A Head Start With a 1-to-1 initiative Irving Elementary School Principal Mary Havis also serves as the assessment administrator for South Berwyn School District 100 (IL). The district is in the first year of a full K-8 1-to-1 implementation. Students have MacBooks in the grade levels where the Common Core is being assessed and iPads in all other grades. Collaboration within the district and beyond has been a key element of PD as the district's teachers transition to the Common Core. There are a lot of states that have units and lesson planning arranged and laid out online, explains Havis. We look at a lot of those resources, and explore how we can adjust the resources and the goals to meet what we need to do at our district. Teachers in the district use eChalk, a platform for managing education and instruction, to share best practices for teaching the new standards. We're trying to use the resources that we have to make sure that our teachers have a strong understanding not only of the but also of how best to teach those standards, says Havis. For example, we want them to be able to see videos of how a fully transitioned Common Core classroom is structured. Although we always think with the end result of the online assessments in mind, right now our focus is specifically on standards and instruction, since we don't know exactly what the assessment portion is going to look like. The district's teachers are ahead of the curve when it comes to incorporating technology into Common Core instruction because of the three-year rollout of their 1-to-1 initiative. Havis says the district is now focused beyond the substitution level with technology, and onto the level where teachers are learning how to use different tools in the classroom to help students get a more rigorous understanding of the curriculum. The technology just supports everything that we're working towards as we raise the expectations for our students. Building a Professional Learning Team While his district's teachers worked in professional learning teams to unwrap the CCSS, Tony DeMonte, coordinator of instructional technology at Zion Elementary School District 6 (IL), had the challenge of unwrapping the technology standards of the Common Core curriculum for the district's five elementary schools and one middle school. …" @default.
