Common Core States

The Montana Common Core Standards for Math and ELA establish high expectations for student learning and achievement that will enable all students to be competitive on a district, state, national and global scale. 12/15/2021 8

Common Core is Right for Montana • Establish high expectations for student learning and achievement in Math and English Language Arts • Set literacy goals for History/Social Studies, Science and Technical subjects • Provide clear, nationally consistent guidelines • Maintain Montana's values and priorities, including Indian Education for All 12/15/2021 9

Montana’s Legal, Ethical, Instructional Responsibility Process for inclusion of Indian Education standards January– May 2011 : • K-20 content and IEFA experts from across the state • Purposeful placement of IEFA language embedded in existing standards for most effective inclusion • Reviewed by Montana educators http: //www. opi. mt. gov/Programs/Indian.

The Purpose of the Consortium • To develop a set of comprehensive and innovative assessments for grades 3 -8 and high school in English language arts and mathematics aligned to the Common Core State Standards • To ensure that all students leave high school prepared for postsecondary success in college or a career through increased student learning and improved teaching. • The assessments shall be operational across consortium states in the 2014 -15 school year. 12/15/2021 32

Benefits of a Multi-State Consortium • Less cost and more capabilities through scope of work sharing and collaboration • More control through open-source software platforms for online adaptive testing and test items/questions • Better service for students with disabilities and EL students through common, agreedupon protocols for accommodations 12/15/2021 33
