7 Oregon signed Memorandum of Agreement last summer Oregon signed Memorandum of Agreement last summer Participation a requirement of Race to the Top application Participation a requirement of Race to the Top application Participating states asked to adopt 100% of the common core standards. States may then add additional standards if desired, but no more than 15% of total number of standards (115% rule) Participating states asked to adopt 100% of the common core standards. States may then add additional standards if desired, but no more than 15% of total number of standards (115% rule) Common Core State Standards Initiative

Common Core State Standards: Three Phases Phase 1: College and career-readiness standards– State level and public feedback of high school expectations Phase 2: K–12 grade level standards- State level feedback and public feedback on grade by grade articulation of the common core Phase 3: K–12 grade level standards- State Adoption of the grade by grade articulation of the common core

Next Steps and Considerations Development group utilizing feedback to revise Draft 3-will post for public feedback by Feb. 14 th Development group utilizing feedback to revise Draft 3-will post for public feedback by Feb. 14 th ODE will work with partners to review drafts and submit additional feedback ODE will work with partners to review drafts and submit additional feedback Regional feedback groups by ESDs Regional feedback groups by ESDs Online Survey to respond to targeted questions Online Survey to respond to targeted questions Joint release of final K-12 and College & Career Readiness standards expected March Joint release of final K-12 and College & Career Readiness standards expected March Adoption timeline under further review due to varying state adoption processes Adoption timeline under further review due to varying state adoption processes
