6. How Far Would You Go for Cheap Gas?
Come to consensus, if possible.
Ask participants to work on this problem together.
Leave the question as open-ended as possible
Allow participants to apply their own reasoning around the problem.

13. Dual Intensity Key Shifts in CCSS Mathematics from engageNY
Discuss shifts that happen in the Progressions from Gr 6-12: Coherence
Discuss the shift needed to make the Mathematical Practices a reality that will result in Deeper Understanding through more Focused lessons.
Discuss expected Fluencies and balance between practice and deep understanding that is discussed in Dual Intensity.
What kind of Lessons will move us forward?

15. What’s Different…
The Mathematics Standards must also respect what is known about HOW students learn.

16. CC State Standards Do Not Define:
How Teachers Should Teach
All That Can/Should Be Taught
Full Range of Support for All Students
Everything Students Need to Be College and Career Ready

17. Optional Assessments/Flexible Administration
PARCC Assessment Design English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, Grades 3-11
Optional Assessments/Flexible Administration
Performance-Based
Assessment (PBA)
Extended tasks
Applications of concepts and skills
End-of-Year
Assessment
Innovative, computer-based items
Diagnostic Assessment
Early indicator of student knowledge and skills to inform instruction, supports, and PD
Mid-Year Assessment
Performance-based
Emphasis on hard-to-measure standards
Potentially summative
TALKING POINTS
Graphic depiction of the assessment system. The system includes a suite of assessments and tools that, taken together, provide a more complete picture of student mastery of standards and progress throughout the year than is currently available on state assessments.
Considerations Leading to 2 optional assessments:
The cost of the assessments
Flexibility on when to administer the optional assessments
The amount of testing time needed to administer the assessments
Possible disruption to school schedules caused by through-course assessment preparation and administration
Constraints the distributed design might have on the flexibility of state and local educators to sequence instruction of the CCSS and to implement their own benchmark and formative assessment initiatives
The PARCC assessment system will:
Reflect the sophisticated knowledge and skills found in the Math and ELA Common Core State Standards
Include a mix of item types (e.g., short answer, richer multiple choice, longer open response, performance- based)
Make significant use of technology
Include testing at key points throughout the year to give teachers, parents and students better information about whether students are on track or need additional support in particular areas
Taken together, the PARCC assessment components comprise a comprehensive system of assessments that will provide timely information to teachers throughout the year, and provide students with meaningful information about their progress toward college and career readiness
