Nebraska’s College and Career Ready Standards for Mathematic
 (2022 CCR Mathematic Standards)
Implementation Overview

Exploration: SY 2022 – 2023
After State Board approval, teachers and leaders should explore the newly revised Mathematic standards and assess readiness to implement. During this stage, time and activities focus on building understanding of the revised Mathematic standards and the instructional shifts reflected within revised standards. This phase should also include an analysis of the current instructional materials used in grades K-12 to determine their alignment to the revised standards or if new instructional materials should be selected.
Summative Assessment Implications: The 2015 CCR Mathematic Standards (i.e., legacy standards) will be assessed during the transition to NSCAS Growth, including the Fall, Winter, and Spring NSCAS Growth Assessments.

Local Adoption and Initial Implementation: SY 2023 – 2024
During Initial Implementation, the focus is on analyzing the Mathematic standards at a deeper level and determining the resources to support implementation, including instructional materials. At this stage, schools develop an infrastructure and process to support the implementation of the revised Mathematic standards. This includes practices and policies designed to support student learning as reflected in the revised standards, and it includes professional learning to support the implementation of high-quality instructional materials for Mathematic.

Summative Assessment Implications: The 2022 CCR Mathematic Standards will be assessed beginning with the Fall 2023-2024 NSCAS Growth assessment. New embedded items will be field tested during each Spring NSCAS Growth assessment.
New cut scores will be adopted in the summer/fall of 2023 based on the results of NSCAS Growth 2022-2023. They will be validated in the summer of 2024 following the assessment aligned to the new standards. 

Scale Up: SY 2024 – 2025
This stage, Scale Up, is where teachers and leaders are fully implementing the Mathematic standards while recognizing and attending to instructional gaps resulting from the transition from legacy standards to revised standards. During this stage, the focus is on using the revised Mathematic standards to guide instruction, actively reflecting on, and refining instructional practices, and providing on-going professional learning to support implementation of high-quality instructional materials.

Summative Assessment Implications: The 2022 CCR Mathematic Standards will be assessed on the 2024-2025 NSCAS Growth assessments.

Deep Implementation and Sustainability: SY 2025 – 2026 and beyond
During Deep Implementation and Sustainability, educators have a deep understanding of the Mathematic standards and work towards implementation with fidelity. During this stage, the focus is on seamless integration of curriculum, instruction, and assessments. It also includes a focus on cross-curricular planning and continued reflection and refinement of practice.

Summative Assessment Implications: The 2022 CCR Mathematic Standards will be assessed on the 2025-2026 NSCAS Growth assessments.
