SOME HARD FACTS:

• 1) Based on ACT-tested high school graduates, it appears that only about half of our nation’s ACT-tested high school students are ready for college-level reading and writing.

• 2) What’s worse, more students are on track to being ready for college level work in eighth and tenth grade than are actually ready by the time they reach twelfth grade.

The Solution – Common Core

What is Common Core and how does it work?

READING FOCUS:

• 1) Teach students to read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and implicitly.

• 2) Teach students to cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.

• 3) Teach students how to determine central ideas or themes and how to analyze and summarize key supporting details and ideas.

• 4) Teach students how to interpret words and phrases as they are used in a text and how to analyze how specific word choices shape meaning or tone.

• 5) Show students how point of view or purpose shapes the content and style of text.

• 6) Introduce students to complex literary and informational texts and teach them how to analyze and synthesize the author’s purpose, tone and theme.

Writing Focus

• 1) Teach students how to write arguments to support claims in an analysis of topics and texts.

• 2) Teach students how to write informative/explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas, concepts, and information clearly and accurately.

• 3) Teach students how to introduce and develop a topic through the use of organization, support, precise language, sentence fluency, and appropriate and varied transitions.

• 4) Teach students how to draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.

• 5) Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection, and revision) and shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two) for a range of tasks, purposes, and audiences.

Conclusion• Our plan is to develop students

to such an extent that they are COLLEGE READY and/or ready for an exciting career path in a highly competitive world. With your help and your student’s initiative, we will succeed.

Biology EOC Strategies• Using Learning Stations to

familiarize students with computer based testing.

• Spiral content knowledge after disaggregating the data obtained from mini-assessments.

• Hands-on labs• Problem-based learning.

Mr. Davien FernandezUS History

Social Studies Goals• Help to increase reading proficiency in all Social Studies

students.• Expose 12th grade students to life management skills by

exposing them to financial literacy benchmarks.-END OF COURSE EXAM• Decrease the amount of students in the bottom tier on

the EOC.• Increase the amount of students in the middle and high

tier.• Increase the overall mean score on the US EOC to be in

closer range to the State and County mean score.

Social Studies Initiatives*9-10 Social StudiesA. Literacy Fridays: Extended practice in reading and test taking.

B. FCAT Explorer Initiative: All 9 & 10 grade students in Social Studies will work on reading strategies and critical thinking.

*11-12th Social StudiesC. End of Course exams mini-assessments: 11th grade students will take

practice mini-assessments to help expose them to the benchmarks they will be tested on during the EOC.

D. Financial Literacy Benchmarks: 12th graders will be exposed to essential benchmarks that will teach them financial life skills to assist their future decision making.
