Team, I have read the Math and ELA and have taken the Math survey. This will give you a lot of information. Dr. Taylor, Head, and Hinson have hard copies as of today from my RttT Department. I want you to review or look it over, especially the Claims and do the survey as an individual. They also have a group survey if two or more of you wish to work together.

You may be aware that N.C. is part of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), which is tasked with developing the next generation of assessments for Common Core Standards in Math & ELA. SBAC released a draft of the framework to guide the development of the math assessments earlier this week and is soliciting feedback from interested stakeholders until Sept. 19th. You can find the draft and survey information at []. Look for the blue box on the right side of the screen labeled Mathematics Draft Content Specifications.
