Outcomes• Participants will gain an understanding of the differences
between Common Core State Standards and the NC Essential Standards.
• Participants will develop a basic understanding of the composition of the ELA and Literacy Standards.
• Participants will engage with the instructional shifts in the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts and describe how the shifts guide in lesson planning.
• Participants will determine how to select tier two academic vocabulary words that are appropriate for instruction.

Common Core State Standardshttp://www.corestandards.org/
College and Career Readiness (CCR) Anchor Standards
04/20/23 • page 11
The CCR Anchor Standards:
• Have broad expectations consistent across grades and content areas.
• Are based on evidenceabout college and workforce training expectations.
• Expect instruction to cover a broad range of increasingly challenging text.
Grade Specific Standards
04/20/23 • page 12
K−12 standards:
• Are grade-specific end-of-year expectations.
• Are developmentally appropriate. There is a cumulative progression of skills and understandings.
• Have a one-to-one correspondence with CCR Anchor Standards.

ELA Shifts
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDzTOyxRGLI
3 Shifts in ELA
Implementing Shift 1• Much of our knowledge base comes from
informational text.• Example: National Geographic• Informational text makes up a vast majority of
required reading in college/workplace.• In K-5, a 50/50 balance between narrative and
informational texts.• In 6-8, a 45/55 split• In high school, a 30/70 split, with increased emphasis
on reading in content classes
Implementing Shift 2• Ability to cite evidence differentiates student
performance on NAEP.
• Most college and workplace writing is evidence-based and expository in nature (not narrative).
• Argumentative and explanatory/informational writing in all subject areas should be focused on evidence from the text.
Implementing Shift 3• The gap between complexity of college and high
school texts is much too large – about four years.
• What students can read in terms of complexity is the greatest predictor of success in college (ACT study).
• Students must learn to activate reading strategies in response to the challenges they encounter in complex texts.
A Focus on Academic Vocabulary
Three Tiers of Words Tier 1 – most basic words of oral language and rarely require instructional attention (80% of text)
Tier 2 – words that are more sophisticated and used often across disciplines
Tier 3 – words that are very rare or apply to specific domains
Choosing Words to Teach
Tier 2 WordsCriteria to determine which
words to teach:
InstructionNot address
TellWorthy
Students are likely to see the word often in other texts and across domains.
The word will be useful in students’ writing. The word relates to other words or ideas
that the students know or have been learning.
Word choice has significance in the text. The context does not provide enough
information for students to infer the meaning.
Academic Vocabulary
Let’s Practice Together
• Read: Birthday Soup• Using the rubric, identify 4
tier 2 words• Justify your choices

More PracticeIndividually or with a peer Choose a current text you are using with your class Identify the academic vocabulary (Tier 2 words)
found in the text Chart words in the Google form found in section G
on the agenda or visit http://bit.ly/OwLVBT Be prepare to share and justify at least 2 words on
your list
