North Carolina Common Core Standards
  • 2011 -2012

9
Who?
  • 48 states, the District of Columbia, and two
    territories have signed on to the Common Core
    State Standards Initiative

10
Standards Development Process
  • College and career readiness standards developed
    in summer 2009
  • Based on the college and career readiness
    standards, K-12 learning progressions developed
  • Multiple rounds of feedback from states,
    teachers, and feedback group and validation
    committee.
  • Groups representing English language learners and
    students with disabilities were instrumental in
    developing the ELL and students with disabilities
    statements in the introduction to the standards.

11
Why is This Important for Students, Teachers,
and Parents?
  • Prepares students with the knowledge and skills
    they need to succeed in college and work
  • Ensures consistent expectations regardless of a
    students zip code
  • Provides educators, parents, and students with
    clear, focused learning targets.

12
Criteria for the Standards
  • Fewer, clearer, and higher
  • Aligned with college and work expectations
  • Include rigorous content and application of
    knowledge through high-order skills
  • Build upon strengths and lessons of current state
    standards
  • Internationally benchmarked, so that all students
    are prepared to succeed in our global economy and
    society
  • Based on evidence and research

PBIS-What is it?
  • Positive Behavior Interventions and Support
  • Proactive approach to school-wide discipline
  • Promotes positive student and staff behavior
  • Implemented consistently by staff and
    administration

Traditional vs. PBIS
  • Traditional
  • Focused on Problem behavior
  • Goal to stop problem behavior through punishment
  • PBIS
  • Replace problem behavior with new skill
  • Rewards appropriate behavior as it is being
    learned
  • Teaches the concept of consequences both good and
    bad.

3 Year Implementation

  • During year 1 we established the Three Rs,
    jewels, coins, and treasure chests
  • During year 2 we have defined office referrals,
    developed check-in-check out, began individual
    ticket system
