C-SAIL is led by Andy Porter, with a team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education, University of Southern California Rossier School of Education, American Institutes for Research, and Vanderbilt Peabody College. The Center is funded through a grant from the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S.  \nDepartment of Education.  \nC-SAIL research is supported by the Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education, through Grant R305C150007 to the University of Pennsylvania, Graduate School of Education. The opinions expressed are those of the authors and do not represent views of the Institute or the U.S. Department of Education.  \nIntroduction  \nThe Center on Standards, Alignment, Instruction, and Learning (C-SAIL) examines how collegeand career-readiness (CCR) standards are implemented, whether they improve student learning, and what instructional tools measure and support their implementation. Established in July 2015 and funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education, C-SAIL has partnered with California, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Ohio, and Texas to explore their experiences with CCR standards-based reform, particularly with regard to students with disabilities (SWDs) and English language learners (ELLs) .  \nThis report examines how the state of Massachusetts is approaching CCR standards implementation during a time of transition, as it develops the Next-Generation Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System, or the “Next-Gen MCAS,” in 2015–2016. The transition will take place in 2016–2017, with full implementation of the next-generation assessment by the spring of 2017. For the purposes of this report and in keeping with C-SAIL’s focus, we concentrate on implementation of Massachusetts’ English language arts (ELA) and math standards.  \nMassachusetts Academic Standards Timeline | At-AGlance  \nThe adoption, implementation, and revision of Massachusetts’CCR standards and assessments are part of an ongoing process spanning several years. Below is an overview of Massachusetts’timeline for this process, beginning with the year that CCR standards were first adopted:  \n| Year CCR standards were adopted | The Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks in ELA and math were adopted in 2010. |\n| --- | --- |\n| Year(s) the CCR standards were fully implemented (all schools in the state were required to use the CCR standards.) | The Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks in ELA and math were fully implemented in the 2013–2014 school year. |\n| Year(s) CCR standards were/will be revised | Before the final version of the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks was officially adopted in December 2010, additions specific to the state were added in the fall of 2010 through collaboration between state officials, Framework Review Panels, educators, and content-area specialists. The additions include pre-kindergarten standards, recommended authors, and models to increase math rigor. Beginning February 2016, the state has convened an English language arts and Mathematics Review Panel to account for lessons learned since initial adoption of the standard","cbCaiqUxamvobSND","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqUxamvobSND","pdf",859998,26,"English","# Introduction\n# Massachusetts Academic Standards Timeline | At-A-Glance\n# Data Analysis | Our Framework","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the Year 1 State Report for Massachusetts?\",\"answer\":\"It examines how Massachusetts approaches CCR standards implementation and how it measures instructional tools during a transition to the Next-Gen MCAS assessment system.\"},{\"question\":\"Which subjects does the report focus on for CCR standards implementation?\",\"answer\":\"The report concentrates on implementation of Massachusetts’ English language arts (ELA) and math standards.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report analyze policy implementation?\",\"answer\":\"It synthesizes and analyzes interview responses using the policy attributes theory, guided by attributes such as specificity and authority.\"}]","YEAR 1 STATE REPORT - MASSACHUSETTS - RR-01 - Educational Standards Implementation Overview | PDF",1792043346,66]
