Launching the

Common Core State Standards

Partnership for 21Century Learning presents: Above and Beyond

21st Century Skills and the 4c’s are infused in the Common Core Standards

which are the end goals of the Career and College Ready Standards

Career and College Ready Standard examples:

Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when reading or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.

Prepare and participate effectively in a range of conversations and collaborations with diverse partners building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively.

Look for evidence of the 4C’s and discuss them with a partner.

We will fully implement the Common Core State Standards

in 2014-2015

We will take the new national test with Common Core

Standards in Spring of 2015

Where did the Common Core

standards come from?

• Council of Chief State School Officers and National Governors Association Center for Best Practices, teachers, school administrators, and experts worked together to provide a clear and consistent framework to prepare students for college and workforce.

• Standards adopted by most states.

• Currently each state has its own set of standards; student expectations vary from state to state.

States could add up to 15% to the

Common Core

• California added standards to the Common Core to address perceived gaps and to ensure that the rigor of California’s existing standards would be maintained.

How will the Common Core Standards

be different?

• Includes rigorous content and application of

knowledge through higher-order thinking skills• Performance-based collaborative

activities and assessments• Integrated literacy across content areas

including Science and Social Studies• Stronger emphasis on informational

text, research and media skills

Shifts in ELA Common Core

Standards: Staircase of complexity design, the standards

build upon each other A combination of literary and informational

texts Integration of Social Science and Science

content knowledge 3 types of writing: Informative/Explanatory,

Narrative, and Opinion/Persuasive taught K-12 Emphasis on academic vocabulary

Distribution of Literacy and Informational Passages by Grade

Grade Literature Information

4 50% 50%

8 45% 55%

12 30% 70%

ELA Standards Organization

Reading for Literature (10 standards) Reading for Informational Text (10 standards) Foundation (4 standards – K-5 only) Writing (10 standards) Language (6 standards) Speaking and Listening (6 standards)

Each of the standard areas have substrands, for example in Reading for Literature and Information:

Key Ideas and Details Craft and Structure Integration of

Knowledge and Ideas Range of Reading and

Level of Complexity.

These substrands are the same for all grade levels.

Breaking it

down…..

Focus-narrow and deepen the scope

Coherence connecting across grade levels

Fluency-speed and accuracy

Deep understanding

Application of concepts

Dual Intensity -practice and understand

Shifts in Common Core Math

There are two sets of

standards in math:

• Math Domain Standards by grade level

• K-12 Mathematical Practice Standards

Counting and Cardinality

(K only) Operations in

Algebraic Thinking Number and

Operations in Base Ten

Measurement and Data

Geometry Number and

Operations-Fractions (grades 3-5)

Math Domain

Standards

New Common Core Assessments

Who is creating them?SMARTER-Balanced Assessment ConsortiumWho else is using these tests?Currently 29 statesWhat is the purpose?To develop a comprehensive and innovative assessment system for grades 3-8 and grade 11 in English Language Arts and Mathematics aligned to the Common Core Standards so that students leave high school prepared for post secondary success in college or a career.What will happen to CSTs?These tests will replace CST, CMA, and STS. We will take the last STAR assessments in the spring of 2014.

Summative assessments aligned to College and Career Readiness Standards

Computer adaptive Administered during last 12 weeks of school year Results will show achievement and growth Question types:1. Selected Response2. Constructed Response 3. Extended Response 4. Performance –Based Tasks 5. Technology-Enhanced 6. Technology-Enabled

How will the National Assessments be different

than the STAR?

You have a copy of the 5 tasks for this assessment on your table. In your group divide up the tasks and individually or with a partner complete one task. When you are finished find someone from another group who had the same task and compare how you solved the problem. When you return to your seat you will receive a copy of the scoring rubrics so you can see how well you performed on this task.

and Math ELA and Math PLC Leaders will develop units and assessments PLC Writing Leaders will develop K-5 rubrics in writing Kindergarten Leaders will develop ELA and math units,

assessments and revise report card November- All Kindergarten teachers to Fetzer training on

Common Core writing. In the spring, there will be a second training on the new essential standards, timelines, assessments, and units being developed.

Afterschool workshops will be offered on Informational Reading and Writing and Mathematical Practice Standards. These sessions will be telecast through the Live! program so you can attend via computer at your site.

How will teaching and learning change in the 21st Century?

Check for Understanding

With your team determine which object in the jar represents one of the 4C’s.

Performance-Based Assessment

Knowing the important role the 4C’s will play in 21st Century Learning how can you apply them in your daily instruction now?

Share your thinking with your table group and collaborate on how you can purposefully including these important skills in your teaching.

The Common Core Standards are an opportunity to transform how we teach our students to prepare

them for the 21st Century

How will you begin the change?
