Proposed Content Specifications for Mathematics CCSS Assessment |
 |
 |
 |
|
The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) recently released the Content Specifications for Mathematics and is seeking comments on this important component in the development of the next generation of assessment aligned to the Common Core State Standards. This document provides the basis for the development of the new assessments that will be used in Michigan and about 30 other states. It is important that Michigan educators take time to review and provide feedback through the survey provided.
Website links to a press release, the SBAC Content Specifications for Mathematics, the survey, and a webinar which provides further information about the documents is available at: http://www.k12.wa.us/SMARTER/Resources.aspx.

Here is a link to a video by the authors of the Mathematics Common Core State Standards where they talk about the key characteristics of the standards.

Resources from 2011 Annual Conference |
|
|
|
|
Attached are the draft documents shared at the 2011 conference. Each grade level has the CCSS organized by critical area, and with content shifts identified that need to be considered in the first year of full implementation of the CCSS. Remember that these are not official MDE documents; they are provided as resources only. Each district will need to determine the usefulness of these documents in their transition from the GLCE to CCSS.

The Michigan GLCE-HSCE to CCSS-M crosswalk documents are finalized.
