Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social

Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects (CCSS)

• Affect all content areas• Complement rather than replace content

standards in those subjects• Responsibility of all teachers in those subjects

Criteria for the Standards• Clearer and more rigorous

• Aligned with college and work expectations

• Include application of knowledge through high-order skills

• Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards

• Internationally benchmarked, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society

• Based on evidence and research

Why• Prepares students with the knowledge and

skills they need to succeed in college and work

• Ensures consistent expectations regardless of a student’s zip code

• Provides educators, parents, and students with clear, focused guideposts

•2012-2013 Begin implementation

•2013-2014 Full implementation

•2014-2015 First assessment

CCSS Implications for Classroom• More nonfiction• Higher text complexity • More teacher collaboration

–across grades –across content areas

• More research –begins in earlier grades –both short and extended research

All courses in middle and high school, not just English, must challenge students to read and understand complex texts.

Adapted from American College Testing Program (2006)

Shared Responsibility“The Standards insist that instruction in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language be a shared responsibility within the school.”

CCSS, page 4

What Do Literacy Standards in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Really

Mean for Content Area Teachers?

What They Are

• Modeling and scaffolding what reading in the content areas looks and sounds like

• Teaching students what is important/vital information for a historian, geographer, economist, politician

What They Are

• Using the text book as a starting place not the definitive source

• Reading a wide variety of texts– Maps, charts, tables, graphs, photographs,

pictures, cartoons, journals, letters, documents, artifacts

What Common Core Literacy Standards are NOT

• … just having students read and write more

• … assigning more vocabulary words to look up and write definitions for

• … conducting basic literacy techniques to struggling readers during social studies

What Common Core Literacy Standards are NOT

• … giving students Venn diagrams and sentence diagramming assignments in social studies

• …assigning more “What did you do during …” essays

Authentic opportunities to learn and practice literacy are important techniques through which we engage students in thinking deeply and critically about social studies, science, economics…
