Overview on the Common Core Learning Standards: Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects
Monroe 2 –Orleans BOCES
I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which,
when you looked at it in theright way, did not become
still more complicated.
Poul Anderson““
Over-Arching Objectives:
Understand that this is a big change.
Develop an awareness of the Common Core Learning Standards and implications on instructional practice.
Unpacking the Standards• Review the format of the Common
Core Standards document• Note major differences between the
CCS and the NYS Standards • Implications and Next Steps
Background
State Adoptions of the CCSS
As of September 2011
Myth or Fact?
#1#1
Myth or Fact?
Adopting common standards will bring all states’ standards down to the lowest common denominator, which means states with high standards, such as Massachusetts, will be taking a step backwards if they adopt the Standards.
#2#2
Myth or Fact?
The Standards are not internationally benchmarked.
#3#3
Myth or Fact?
The Standards include skills and address the importance of content knowledge.
#4#4
Myth or Fact?
The Standards are just vague descriptions of skills; they don’t include a reading list or any other similar reference to content.
#5#5
Myth or Fact?
The standards are written for ELA and Math teachers. This is not applicable to a teacher in the content areas.
We have not and will not prescribe a national
curriculum. I want to repeat that.

CCLS: Let’s watch the video
6 Shifts in Thinking:
1. Greater emphasis on informational text at all grade levels
Grade Literary Informational
4 50% 50%8 45% 55%12 30% 70%
Distribution of Literary and Informational Passages by Grade in the 2009 NAEP Reading Framework
6 Shifts in Thinking:2. Literacy in history, science, and other
disciplines
“This division reflects the unique, time honored place of ELA teachers in developing students’ literacy skills while at the same time recognizing that teachers in other areas must have a role in this development as well.”
6 Shifts in Thinking:3. Text complexity matters
o Exposure to text at and above grade level
4. Text dependent questionso Questions should require close attention to text
“Students should read like a detective and write like a conscientious investigative
reporter.”
6 Shifts in Thinking:
5. Constructing an argument with evidence in writing
Grade To Persuade To Explain To Convey Experiences
4 30% 35% 35%8 35% 35% 30%12 40% 40% 20%
Distribution of Communicative Purposes by Grade in the 2011 NAEP Writing Framework
6 Shifts in Thinking:6. Academic Vocabulary = power– Included in the development of the language
strand– Greater emphasis on the language of complex
text (Tier 2 words)• Not necessarily domain specific words or literary
terms• Examples: product, relative, vary, formulate,
specificity, accumulate, calibrate, itemize, periphery, misfortune, dignified, faltered, unabashedly
Making it the NYS Common Core-
15%• Pre-K standards• Responding to Literature • Inquiry, culture, and diversity

New Science Standards?
Available NOW:Conceptual Framework for Science Education - a
collaborative effort to guide the development of Next Generation Science Standards by creating a document “grounded in the most current research on science and science learning and will identify the science that all K – 12 students should know.”
DRAFT Next Generation Science Standards:• First draft is anticipated to be released for
public comment early in 2012.
NYS Science Standards:• NYS will probably adopt the Next Generation
Science Standards – which may follow the same pattern as ELA and Math, adding 15% of content determined by the state.
