AVID and the Common Core
An introduction to the California Common Core State Standards and how AVID Strategies support them.
Dave Olney and Mike Horton, RIMS AVID
AVID and the Common Core
AVID’s mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.
The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers.
• The Common Core Standards (CCS) were developed by the Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Governor’s Association Center for Best Practices, and were formally released on June 2, 2010.
• The focus of the CCS is to guarantee that all students are college and career ready as they exit from high school.
• The committee determined what a graduate would need to be considered “College Ready” and then backwards mapped it to kindergarten.
Introduction to Common Core
What’s Different
“These Standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business. They are a call to take the next step. It is time for states to work together to build on lessons learned from two decades of standards based reforms. It is time to recognize that standards are not just promises to our children, but promises we intend to keep.” — CCSS (2010, p. 5)

What Are the Benefits of the CCS?
Internationally benchmarked. Student expectations are clear to
parents, teachers, and the general public.
Allows for collaboration with other states on best practices, instructional materials, and professional development.
Reduces costs to the state.
Overarching Goals for K-12 CCS
Ensure that our students are:• Meeting college and work
expectations.• Prepared to succeed in our global
economy and society.• Provided with rigorous content and
applications of higher knowledge through higher order thinking skills.
California’s Additional 15%
• For California, 85% of the standards recommendation must be the CCS.
• 15% could be additional standards added by California to ensure the rigor.
California’s Additional 15%
Based on the following criteria: Substantively enhance. Address a perceived gap. Be defensible to classroom
practitioners. Keep the original standard intact. Ensure the rigor of California’s existing
standards is maintained.
What Does ELA CCSS Focus on? Rigor. Application of learning to real world situations. Technology and media sources. Justification and evidence. Communication/collaboration. Expository reading and writing (80% by H.S.). Research.
What Does Math CCSS Focus on?
Conceptual understanding. Number sense in elementary. Application to real world
problems. Rigor. Success in algebra and higher
level mathematics.

AVID Strategy
Math
Standards of Mathematical Practice
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
4. Model with mathematics
5. Use appropriate tools strategically
6. Attend to precision7. Look for and make
use of structure8. Look for and express
regularity in repeated reasoning
Rigor and Relevance
Standards call for a paradigm shift in instructional practice and student expectation.
Partner Dialogue
If a teacher asks you what is the difference between our California standards and the Common Core standards – the benefits, goals, and implications, what would you say?
Implementation Timeline
