LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 250, Brownley. Instructional materials: pupil assessment. (1) Existing law requires the State Board of Education to adopt basic instructional materials for use in kindergarten and grades 1 to 8, inclusive, for governing boards, as defined, and authorizes the state board to establish criteria for that purpose. Existing law sets forth a schedule for the submission of instructional materials to the state board for adoption. Notwithstanding this schedule, existing law prohibits the state board from adopting instructional materials or following the procedures related to that adoption until the 2015-16 school year. This bill would delete the schedule for submission of instructional materials for foreign languages and health and the exception to the requirement that criteria for the evaluation of instructional materials be approved when curriculum frameworks are approved or at least 30 months before the date that the materials are to be approved for adoption. (2) Existing law establishes the Academic Content Standards Commission and requires the commission to develop internationally benchmarked academic content standards, at least 85% of which are required to be the common core academic standards developed by the Common Core State Standards Initiative consortium or another specified interstate collaboration. Existing law requires the state board by August 2, 2010, to either adopt the standards proposed by the commission or reject them. This bill would require the state board to adopt revised curriculum frameworks and evaluation criteria that are aligned to the common core academic content standards developed by the consortium and adopted by the board for mathematics and English language arts no later than May 30, 2013, and May 30, 2014, respectively. The bill would require state board policies to ensure that the English language arts curriculum frameworks for kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive, and instructional materials for kindergarten and grades 1 to 8, inclusive, include the English language development standards as adopted by the state board in 1997 and revised thereafter, and English language development strategies in the core subjects of mathematics, science, and history-social science. The bill also would require state board policies to ensure that curriculum frameworks for kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive, and instructional materials for kindergarten and grades 1 to 8, inclusive, include strategies to address the needs of pupils with disabilities in the 4 core subjects of mathematics, science, history-social science, and English language arts. The bill would require the curriculum frameworks to describe the manner in which content can be delivered to intentionally build pupil creativity, innovation, critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and communication into and across each content area. (3) Existing law requires the Curriculum Development and Supplemental Materials Commission to recommend curriculum frameworks for adoption by the state board, develop criteria for evaluating instructional materials, study and evaluate instructional materials submitted for adoption, recommend to the state board instructional materials that it approves for adoption, and review specified educational films or video recordings. This bill would rename the commission the Instructional Quality Commission and would make conforming changes. The bill also would delete the requirement that the commission review specified educational films or video recordings. The bill would require the criteria developed for evaluating instructional materials to include specified directions to publishers and would require the commission to perform additional prescribed functions. The bill would state the intent of the Legislature to ensure that school districts are provided with as many standards-aligned instructional material options as possible. The bill would require the Superintendent to develop model professional development modules, as specified, and to report to the state board on the development of those modules. (4) Existing law, the Leroy Greene California Assessment of Academic Achievement Act (hereafter the Greene Act), requires the Superintendent to design and implement a statewide pupil assessment program, and requires school districts, charter schools, and county offices of education to administer to each of its pupils in grades 2 to 11, inclusive, certain achievement tests, including a standards-based achievement test pursuant to the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program. Existing law makes the Greene Act inoperative on July 1, 2013, and repeals it on January 1, 2014. This bill would require the Superintendent to develop recommendations, to be reported to the fiscal and appropriate policy committees of both houses of the Legislature on or before November 1, 2012, for the reauthorization of the statewide pupil assessment program and would require the recommendations to include a plan for transitioning to a system of high-quality assessments. The bill would require the recommendations to consider including specified characteristics in the reauthorized assessment system. The bill would define, for purposes of the Greene Act, formative assessment, high-quality assessment, and interim assessment. The bill would make the Greene Act inoperative on July 1, 2014, and would repeal the act as of January 1, 2015. By extending the time period during which school districts are required to perform various duties relating to the administration of achievement tests, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (5) This bill would require the State Department of Education to use certain federal funds, and any other available state and federal funds, to implement the provisions of this bill. (6) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the Curriculum Support and Reform Act of 2011. SEC. 2. (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (1) California's pupils need and deserve access to instructional programs that reflect the knowledge and skills that will prepare them to be successful in college, careers, citizenship, and the global economy. (2) To ensure that all pupils are successful in college, careers, and citizenship, it is vital for educators to move beyond a focus on basic competency in core subjects to promote deeper learning and understanding of academic content at significantly higher levels by focusing on critical thinking, communications, collaboration, and creativity. (3) To ensure that all pupils are provided with resources and learning expectations necessary to succeed and be competitive in the 21st century, it is imperative that the state's curriculum and assessment system be based on high-quality, research- and evidence-based academic content standards and promote creativity, innovation, critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and communication skills in all content areas. (4) To ensure that all California pupils are provided the curriculum content necessary to be competitive in the 21st century, it is essential that these pupils be taught by highly qualified and effective teachers who are trained in strategies that promote creativity, exploration, innovation, critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and communication skills as well as the academic content standards. (5) To ensure that California schools will prepare pupils to be competitive in the 21st century, it is necessary that school and school district administrators be trained not only in the academic content standards and the state's high-quality assessment system, but also in instructional leadership and management strategies that include, but are not limited to, pedagogies of learning, motivation of pupil learning, collaboration, respect for diversity, parental involvement, staff relations and morale, and general training in day-to-day school operations. (6) The state's current testing system includes grade level and course specific tests, alternative and modified assessments for pupils with special needs, primary language content tests in Spanish, an English language development test, a high school exit examination, and physical fitness tests. (7) Extending much of the state assessment system by an additional year will allow the Legislature to examine current federal initiatives and the call for the development of common assessments, and to position the state's assessments in a manner that will allow the state to adapt to changes in federal law, including the reauthorization of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act, before considering proposals for the reauthorization of the state assessment system. (8) The recent adoption of California's new common core academic content standards will only have an impact on the academic achievement of the state's pupils if the state works to support teachers and improve instruction by developing and adopting curriculum frameworks, instructional materials, professional development, and assessments that are aligned to the standards and appropriate for all pupils. (b) It is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting this act, to do all of the following: (1) Develop a curriculum, instruction, and assessment system to implement the common core state standards that intentionally does both of the following: (A) Focuses on integrating 21st century skills, including critical thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration, creativity, and innovation, as a competency-based approach to learning in all core academic content areas, including English language arts, mathematics, history-social science, science, health education, visual and performing arts, and world languages. (B) Promotes higher order thinking skills and interdisciplinary approaches that integrate the use of supportive technologies, inquiry, and problem-based learning to provide contexts for pupils to apply learning in relevant, real-world scenarios and that prepare pupils for college, career, and citizenship in the 21st century. (2) Start a process for the development and adoption of curriculum frameworks that are aligned to the state's common core academic content standards, build upon the state's previous accomplishments, and integrate successful practices from other state initiatives implementing the common core academic content standards. (3) Create and sustain professional development training opportunities that support teachers and administrators in delivering to all pupils curriculum and instruction that are aligned to the state's common core academic content standards. (4) Extend the operative date of the state's assessment system by one year and position the state's assessments in a manner that will give the state flexibility to adapt to changes in federal law and transition to high-quality assessments that are aligned to the common core academic content standards.
