Fewer Expectations with Greater Depth• Concepts and Skills• Ending the “culture of coverage”
Designed with the End in Mind• Backward design• P-13 vertical progression
Require Application of Knowledge• 21st century skills• Mastery: Application and transfer
Focus on “All students, All standards”• 10 content areas + Academic language

Colorado’s Approach to the Common Core in ELA and Math
Use the Colorado Academic Standards (CAS) template
Align essential components of CAS
– 21st century skills (SB 212)
– Postsecondary and workforce readiness (SB 212)
– Integrate personal financial literacy (HB 1168)

Focus, Coherence, RigorDesign Principles and Instructional Shifts:
Focus on the standards, the concepts and skills graduates need for the 21st century.
Coherence is evident in the interconnections of concepts and skills across grades and in and between disciplines.
Rigor requires fluency, application, and deep understanding for mastery.

Vertical Coherence: Vertical Progressions
PGC: Analyze and practice rights, roles, and responsibilities of citizens.
Grade Level Grade Level ExpectationHigh School Research, formulate positions, and engage in appropriate civic participation
to address local, state, and national issues or policies
Seventh Grade Compare how various nations define the rights, responsibilities, and roles of citizens
Fifth Grade The foundations of citizenship in the United States
Third Grade Respecting the views and rights of others is a key components of a democratic society
Second Grade Responsible community members advocate for their ideas
Office of Standards andInstructional Support
Horizontal Coherence: Content Connections
In Visual Arts, understanding familiar and unfamiliar cultures necessitates an examination of multiple perspectives in order to discern intended meanings.
In Comprehensive Health and PE, an understanding of multiple perspectives and their influences on emotions, perceptions and behaviors allows students to manage their behaviors and develop understanding, tolerance, and compassion for others.
In Social Studies, multiple perspectives develop students’ ability to understand how definitions of citizenship are culturally, nationally, politically, and socially constructed.

3 Areas to Shift
Planning
Classroom EnvironmentInstruction
Office of Standards andInstructional Support
Traditional Classroom vs. Today’s ClassroomCoverage-centered“inch deep, mile wide”
Idea-centered - facts provide a foundation for understanding conceptual, transferable ideas.
Intellectually shallowlacks a conceptual focus to create a factual/conceptual brain synergy
Intellectual depth -a “conceptual lens,” or focus, requires mental processing on the factual and conceptual levels-- producing intellectual depth in thinking and understanding.
Inability to transfer factual knowledgefacts do not transfer; locked in time, place, or situation.
Concepts and Generalizations Transferallows the brain to make connections and see patterns.
Fails to meet the intellectual demands of the 21st century

Colorado’s District Sample Curriculum Project
Rationale/originsThe Colorado Department of Education (CDE) defines curriculum as an
organized plan of instruction for engaging students in mastering the standards. This curriculum project originated as a response to increasing requests from Colorado educators for voluntary-use curriculum samples based on the new Colorado Academic Standards (CAS). From its beginnings, the field of educators across the state has been the driving force behind this project. This will continue to be the case as the project proceeds.
As the next step in standards support for the state, the project is oriented around three fundamental goals:
Facilitating successful implementation of the CAS Helping build the capacity of Colorado educators to create curriculum materials based on
the standards Bringing together Colorado’s educators to create a variety of samples that reflect the
diversity of our school districts
Office of Standards andInstructional Support
Colorado’s District Sample Curriculum Project
Project phases and associated outcomesPhase One: Develop a unit-overview template for all subjects and grades Work with Colorado educators to create unit overview samples based on the CAS for all
subjects and grades.
Phase Two: Conduct area workshops to build capacity around the process and products associated with
the Project Work with Colorado educators in workshops across the state to create additional (locally
specific) unit overview samples
Phase Three: Develop an instructional-unit template for all subjects and grades Work with Colorado educators to create unit samples for all subjects and grades based on
select unit overviews
Office of Standards andInstructional Support
Colorado’s District Sample Curriculum Project
Phase One outcomes Participants 500+ educator participants 42 of 64 counties represented 61 of 178 districts represented
Products 670 unit overviews- all content areas (k-12) and STEM (1st, 8th, high school) Coded to the CAS Teacher/educator authorship and district affiliation on every page of unit overviews

Sample unit overviewsThe samples offer organizing structures for addressing the grade-level expectations (GLEs), evidence outcomes (EOs) and 21st century skills that build students' mastery of the standards at each grade level. The samples:
Represent the translation of the CAS into unit overviews for all (10) content areas, grades k-12
Illuminate possibilities for sequencing grade-level and content-specific standards across courses/years
Offer one possible foundation for exploring standards-based unit and lesson-plan development

• Offer one possible foundation for exploring standards-based unit and lesson-plan development
Design reflects emphasis on concepts and content in Colorado Academic Standards and Common Core State Standards
• Focus: Centers around ideas• Coherence: Supports teaching to greater intellectual depth• Rigor: Emphasizes knowledge TRANSFER and APPLICATION
Design reflects feedback from educators across the state with technical assistance from Dr. Lynn Erickson
• This is Colorado’s Template!

Colorado’s District Sample Curriculum Project
Project phases and major outcomesPhase One (Completed-Fall 2012): Colorado educators work together in grade level and content area teams to engage in process
of translating Colorado Academic Standards into curriculum samples Educators create unit overview samples based on the CAS for all subjects and grades Standards and Instructional Support team produces Process Guide for creating unit overviews
Phase Two (Completed-Spring 2013): Standards and Instructional Support team conducts area workshops across the state to build
capacity around the process and products associated with the Project Hundreds of Colorado educators participate and begin process of adapting/modifying existing
samples and/or creating their own unit overviews
Phase Three (Fall 2013-Spring 2014): Colorado educators create full instructional units for all subjects and grades based on select
unit overviews created during Phase One

Colorado’s District Sample Curriculum Project
Phase Three – Fall 2013In the Project’s final phase, the SIS team will travel across Colorado to work with educators in district settings to build the units, based on select samples (unit overviews), which will include learning strategies, resource suggestions, differentiation options, and assessment ideas.
As with the first phase of the workshops, the SIS team will diligently pursue the participation of educators to ensure representation of the diverse teaching force and districts across Colorado.
During a three-day workshop delivered within a district, a team of educators will produce one full instructional unit. This process reflects a model of educators working together to plan for the instruction of all students. Teams will be comprised of:
2 general education teachers (content specialists)
1 ELL teacher
1 Gifted and Talented teacher
1 Special education teacher
1 Title One teacher
