Focus on 4 College and Career Anchor Standards

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

• All grade levels/all departments

• “Prepare for” - close reading and research skills

• “Participate effectively in conversation” - • Increase speaking/listening in class, use Language Frames and

Instructional Routines for Academic Vocabulary

• “Participate effectively in collaboration” –• Increase collaborative group work – using Fisher model


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

3. Read and comprehend complex literary and informational texts independently and proficiently.


• Close reading, annotation• Language Frames for making/stating inferences• CCSS Writing – Jane Schaffer foundation w/ CCSS• Adopt CCSS reading distribution:

• Gr 4 50% informational• Gr 8 55% informational• Gr 12 70% informational


4. Write arguments and support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.


• Close reading, annotation• Language Frames for making/stating inferences• CCSS Writing – Jane Schaffer foundation w/ CCSS• Adopt CCSS reading distribution:

• Gr 4 50% informational• Gr 8 55% informational• Gr 12 70% informational

• Increase short argument writing tasks in content areas• Use rubrics for student feedback

Literacy taught in HSS/Science - start with 4 Anchor Standards Annotation – common K-12 continuum merging AVID & Fisher Keyboarding skill expectancies Benchmarks/Common Assessments 2013-14 have minimum of

25% CCSS items if CST testing, add 1 performance task per midterm/final/benchmark

Early Release Days for Grade Level/Dept CCSS professional development

Evaluate our curriculum – remove anything that doesn’t support CCSS

Use technology to support CCSS in all areas

Must Do…..general

Language Frames - K-5 agreement to start

Collaborative Instructional Routines – K-5 agreement to start

Shift to non-fiction percentages for students’ total school reading: By Grade 4: 50% informational text By Grade 8: 55% informational text By Grade 12: 70% informational text

Shift in writing: Grade 4-5: 65% analytical/35% narrative Grade 6 – 8: 70% analytical/30% narrative Grade 9-12: 80% analytical, 20% narrative

Must Do - specifics…..
