Gain a deeper understanding of:◦ The purpose of the Kentucky Core Academic

Standards ◦ How the standards address College and Career

Readiness◦ The Kentucky Core Academic Standards in

relation to Core Content 4.1

I can articulate the goals and purposes of the Kentucky Core Academic Standards.

I can articulate how the Kentucky Core Academic Standards prepare students for College and Career Readiness.

I understand how the Kentucky Core Academic Standards relate to Core Content 4.1.

To ensure that all students throughout Kentucky are provided with common content and have opportunities to learn at high levels.

• Divide the large group into two groups to read the introduction to the Common Core State Standards/Kentucky Core Academic Standards.• One group for Math and one for English Language Arts

• These groups will further divide the reading.

As you read your section….◦ Highlight ONE sentence that is important to you.◦ Highlight ONE phrase that is important to you.◦ Highlight ONE word that is important to you.

When you share out with your team…◦ Discuss the sentence first and why you chose it.◦ Discuss the phrase second and why you chose it.◦ Discuss the word last and why you chose it.

Use the chart paper to highlight the important ideas of your team’s discussion.

As a team, walk around and look at each poster.

Use Post-it notes to capture your thinking as you walk.◦ What are the big ideas you notice on the

posters?◦ What commonalities are there between the

posters for Math and English Language Arts?

◦ What questions do you have? After the gallery walk, please be prepared

to share your thinking and conversation with the large group.

It is time to recognize that standards are not just promises to our children,

but promises we intend to keep.

◦ Kentucky Core Academic Standards for Reading and Math are in the right column.

What do you notice?

How are they alike? Different?

How will this information influence our discussions regarding the new English Language Arts standards?
