Common Core State Standards for Mathematics Instructional Support Videos
A new SEDL video series is helping to demystify the Common Core State Standards for mathematics. More than 45 states and territories have adopted the Common Core State Standards, designed to prepare students for success in college and the workplace. State education agencies are working to implement the standards by 2015. The new video series is being developed by SEDL's Southeast Comprehensive Center in collaboration with the states in its region. The videos address CCSS math standards that the states have identified as needing support to help their districts, schools, and teachers understand and implement them. Each video, ranging from 5 to 20 minutes, focuses on one math standard, clarifying its meaning in plain English. Many of the videos also incorporate examples and illustrations to deepen understanding. Although not intended as guides on how to teach the standards, the examples and illustrations can be adapted for instructional use. The video series will cover all grade levels and would benefit any educator implementing the Common Core State Standards for math. Program associates in SEDL's Improving School Performance unit are spearheading the work. The Southeast Comprehensive Center is also considering a similar video series on the Common Core State Standards for English/language arts.

Previous Work Updates
2012
September
During September, SECC program associates designed, edited, copyrighted, and recorded videos for standards 9-12.N.CN.8 and 6.G.2. The video for standard 8.SP.1 was also recorded during September. Previously recorded videos for standards 4.NF.2 and 4.MD.5ab were reviewed and submitted for final approval. Additionally, videos for standards K.CC.4abc and 1.NBT.4 were captioned and moved to the live site.
August
During August, SECC staff designed and reviewed storyboards for quality control and recorded videos for Common Core State Standards mathematics standard 3.OA.9. The grade 4 standard 4.MD.5abc was designed and had its storyboard reviewed for quality control and reviewed for recording. Storyboards were reviewed for standards 4.NF.2, 5.NF.5b, and 8.SP.1. Video quality control and final approval were completed for standard K.CC.4abc, and video quality control was conducted for standard 2.NBT.9. Finally, the video for standard 1.NBT.4 received its final approval, closed captioning, and was moved to the live site.
July
During July 2012, SECC program associates designed and reviewed storyboards for quality control and reviewed and recorded videos for Common Core State Standards mathematics standards K.CC.4abc, 1.NBT.4, and 2.NBT.9. The quality control review for the completed video was done for K.CC.4abc and 1.NBT.4. Final video review and approval for closed captioning was done for 1.NBT.4.
June
During June 2012, SECC program associates edited and reviewed for approval a video for mathematics standards 7.SP.7a. Captions were completed for videos for standards 3.NF.3abcd and 5.NF.4a. Videos for standards 5.NF.4a and 3.NF.2ab received final approval and were placed on the live SEDL link. Additionally, the video for standard 3.NF.2ab was moved to the SEDL server and a link for downloading it was created.
May
During May 2012, SECC program associates designed storyboards for Common Core State Standard (CCSS) mathematics standards 7.SP.7a and 8.EE.4. Standard 6.SP.5c received approval of the storyboard and was recorded, edited, reviewed, and received approval for closed captioning and approval to be placed on the live site hosting the videos. Standard 7.SP.7a received final storyboard approval and was recorded. Standard 8.EE.4 received final storyboard approval and is ready to be recorded. Also during May 2012, previously recorded videos for standards 4.NF.3abcd and 5.NF.4a were edited and received final approval for closed captioning and submission to the live site.
April
During April, SECC edited and reviewed for quality control the videos recorded in March and April. During the first 4 months of 2012, over 4,200 individuals from across the nation viewed the CCSS math videos. Viewers from the SECC states include over 1,800 from GA, nearly 600 from SC, and more than 125 from AL, MS, and LA respectively. Additionally, nearly 200 viewers have subscribed to be notified via e-mail when new videos are uploaded to the site.
March
During March 2012, SECC program associates edited and reviewed for quality control the videos recorded in January and February. The grade 6, 7, and 8 videos were recorded which had been designed in the previous month. The videos were also closed captioned to prepare to upload.
During the first three months of 2012, the CCSS math videos were seen by over 4,000 viewers from across the nation. Views from the SECC states included over 1,700 from Georgia, over 500 from South Carolina, and approximately 100 from Mississippi and Louisiana, respectively. Additionally, 173 viewers have subscribed to be notified via
