MISSION STATEMENT:
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. 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. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.

INTEGRATION OF STANDARDS AND INSTRUCTION
Standards do not tell teachers how to teach, but they do help teachers figure out the knowledge and skills their students should have so that teachers can build the best lessons and environments for their classrooms.

Literacy Design Collaborative
•Literacy Design Collaborative provides a framework to integrate literacy into content area instruction through a gradual release of instruction process.
•Instruction is grounded in the Common Core States Standards so that students “own” the college/career ready skills necessary for life-long success.
WHAT IS IT?
Literacy Design Collaborative
Hillsborough County’s LDC Initiative
•Our goal is to ensure the students’ success in their academic coursework and on college/career readiness tasks.
Instructional focus on critical reading/thinking, civil discourse, and argumentative writing
Language Arts anchored in SpringBoard curriculum, Social Studies content area “plug and play” design, Advanced Reading in a full course implementation
District supported module development
How does this fit in HCPS right now?
Hillsborough County Public School’s Empowering Effective
Teachers Evaluation rubric data from the 2010-2011 school year shows that as a district, the highest percentage of “developing” ratings is in Domain 3.
Domain 1: Planning and Preparation
Domain 2: The Classroom Environment
Domain 3: Instruction Communicating with Students Using Questioning and Discussion Techniques Engaging Students in Learning Using Assessment in Instruction Demonstrating Flexibility and Responsiveness
Domain 4: Professional Responsibilities
Why are the CCSS important?
To support teacher growth in Domain 3. The CCSS provide the solution to the question,
“What should we do to improve in Domain 3: Instruction?”
We envision phasing in CCSS as a solution for teachers that aligns with our key goal of
improving student achievement
