Big Ideas of Common Core

1. Literacy is EVERYONES job!

2. College and Career Readiness

Being prepared for:

A degree-granting postsecondary education, without remediation

A chosen career, ready for advanced training.

Six Common Core Shifts

So what do they look like in my classroom?

Let’s take a look at the shifts.

What do they mean? What do they look like in my classroom?

What tools and resources can I

use?

Text Complexity

Additional Strategies

In their writing, have them highlight the proof. Click and drag

Provide multiple pieces of evidence from the text Some can be right, some wrong Prove or disprove it Rank the evidence Identify which piece is stronger and why

Scrible.com – Browser Tools

Thinkfinity.org - Resources

Camstudio – screen recorder

Evidence in Writing - Sources

Students develop responses to the information presented in the texts Develop and articulate their own

conclusions about what they read and provide evidence

Write from multiple sources

Both short, frequent research and sustained long research

Shift 5

Teaching Strategies

Provide multiple articles Ask students to find one of their own

that supports/ refutes the topic.

Have questions that pull multiple texts together.

Have students “argue” their position based on the texts.

iLearnohio.org – Resource Center

ReadWriteThink.org – Writing Tools

Diigo – Online Research

Evernote – Save and Organize

Expand VocabularyShift

6 Vocabulary across all grades and

content areas

Focus on commonly found words

Teach fewer words, but more deeply

Provide support so students can “discover” the more challenging words.
