Public Hearing
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE(S)
California Education Code (EC) Section 60207 requires the State Board of Education (SBE) to adopt a revised mathematics curriculum framework and evaluation criteria for the adoption of mathematics instructional materials aligned to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM).The California Code of Regulations, Title 5
(5 CCR), Section 9511, allows the SBE to establish a Curriculum Framework and Evaluation Criteria Committee (CFCC) to assist in the development of curriculum frameworks and evaluation criteria and sets requirements regarding the composition of a CFCC. The Instructional Quality Commission (IQC) makes recommendations to the SBE on the guidelines that direct the work of the CFCC and the appointment of CFCC members. At this meeting, the SBE will approve guidelines for the Mathematics CFCC (MCFCC) and appoint MCFCC members.
RECOMMENDATION
The California Department of Education (CDE) recommends that the SBE: (1) approve the “Curriculum Framework and Evaluation Criteria Committee Guidelines for the 2013 Revision of the Mathematics Framework for California Public Schools, Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve,” as recommended by the IQC, and (2) appoint 19 members to the MCFCC, including Susan Stickel as Chair of the MCFCC, as recommended by the IQC.
BRIEF HISTORY OF KEY ISSUES
Revising the Mathematics Framework to align with the CCSSM is an important component in the implementation of the CCSSM adopted by the SBE in August 2010. The revision of the Mathematics Framework is a multi-step process involving educators, content experts, and other education and community stakeholders. Throughout the revision process, there
are opportunities for public input at meetings of the MCFCC, IQC, and SBE and during
two 60-day public review periods.
Mathematics Focus Group Report
In February and March 2012, the CDE convened four public focus groups to gather input from educators and the public regarding what guidance and information should be included in the revised framework to support implementation of the CCSSM. The Mathematics Focus Group Report is a summary of oral comments made at the focus group meetings and a compilation of the written comments received in February and March 2012 regarding the revision of the Mathematics Framework. The report can be found at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/ma/cf/documents/mathfocusgroupreport.doc. Because the report is provided as information, no SBE action on the report is required. The comments in the report informed the development of guidelines for the MCFCC.
Guidelines for the MCFCC
On May 4, 2012, the IQC acted to recommend to the SBE guidelines to direct the work of the MCFCC. These guidelines are based on current statutory requirements, oral comments from the four focus group meetings held in February and March 2012, and written comments received in February and March 2012. Curriculum Frameworks and Instructional Resources Division (CFIRD) staff developed the initial draft of the guidelines, and the IQC modified the guidelines at its May meeting.
The “Draft Curriculum Framework and Evaluation Criteria Committee Guidelines for the 2013 Revision of the Mathematics Framework for California Public Schools, Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve” (Guidelines) is located on the CDE Curriculum Frameworks Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/ma/cf/index.asp. The Guidelines direct the work of the MCFCC and require the inclusion of specific content.
In general, the draft guidelines propose that the revised Mathematics Framework shall:
· Be aligned to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and consistent with their focus, coherence, rigor, and depth.
· Be a living document with links to implementation tools and research.
· Provide options for higher mathematics, including options at the middle-school level.
· Include an expanded chapter on universal access with instructional support for English learners and students with disabilities.
· Include an updated chapter on technology.
· Be consist with and supportive of the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium’s test content specifications.
Appointment of MCFCC Members
On May 4, 2012, the IQC took action to recommend to the SBE 19 applicants for appointment to the MCFCC. The 5 CCR, Section 9511, governs the appointment of MCFCC members and sets a limit of between 9 and 20 members. The regulations require that:
· A majority of the MCFCC be comprised of teachers who, at the time of their appointment, teach students in kindergarten through grade twelve, have a professional credential under state law, and meet the criteria for “highly qualified” teachers under federal law.
· At least one of the teachers must have experience providing instruction to English learners.
· At least one of the teachers must have experience providing instruction to students with disabilities.
· At least one member of the MCFCC must have a doctoral degree in mathematics or a related subject.
· Other members of the MCFCC can be administrators, parents, local school board members, or teachers who do not meet the requirements listed above, and community members.
· The regulations also require that the SBE appoint MCFCC members who are reflective of California’s diversity and its different regions and types of school districts.
The 19 IQC-recommended applicants meet the 5 CCR requirements. Ten of the recommended applicants are currently classroom teachers. Of the nine non-teacher applicants, three teach at a college or university, three are district-level curriculum specialists, and three are currently or formerly employed by a county office of education. All of the recommended applicants indicated they have experience teaching English learners, and all but three of the applicants indicated they have experience teaching students with disabilities. Four of the recommended applicants have doctorate degrees in education, and two of the recommended applicants have a doctorate in mathematics. Four of the recommended applicants have earned National Board Certification. The recommended applicants have between 7 and 42 years of experience in education each.

SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION DISCUSSION AND ACTION
March 2012: The SBE appointed 13 members to serve on the IQC, including one member whose term will not begin until 2013.
January 2012: The SBE approved the timeline and MCFCC application form for the 2013 revision of the Mathematics Framework. The MCFCC application was available online from January 17 through April 18, 2012.
August 2010: The SBE adopted the academic content standards in mathematics as proposed by the California Academic Content Standards Commission (ACSC); the standards include the CCSSM and specific additional standards that the ACSC had deemed necessary to maintain the integrity and rigor of California’s already high standards.
January 2008: The SBE adopted new 5 CCR sections governing the curriculum framework and instructional materials adoption process.
November 2007: The SBE adopted instructional materials in mathematics for kindergarten through grade eight.
March 2005: The SBE adopted the Mathematics Framework for California Public Schools: Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve and the criteria for evaluating instructional materials submitted for the 2007 Mathematics Primary Adoption.
FISCAL ANALYSIS (AS APPROPRIATE)
The cost to revise the Mathematics Framework is anticipated to be a total of $135,000 over three budget years, 2011–2012, 2012–2013, and 2013–2014. This cost includes the expenses of the focus group meetings, the MCFCC, and the meetings of the IQC and its subcommittee, the Mathematics Subject Matter Committee. The expenses are also comprised of the costs of a contracted mathematics writer and other costs associated with the procedures mandated in 5 CCR regulations for the adoption of curriculum frameworks. In addition, the cost for editing and printing of the curriculum framework will amount to $194,000.
In addition, the CDE budget will cover the anticipated $1.54 million in CDE staff costs. Costs to revise the Mathematics Framework will be paid by State General Fund dollars.

Also, special versions of state tests had to be ordered for them. I also had another student who had brittle bone disease, in a special motorized wheel chair and had an aid assigned to him at school. All of these students were in the 6th grade when I taught them. I taught them math and science. They did not have any academic challenges, only physical ones.
