  1. CaliforniaCommon Core STATE Standards for Steve Sinclair – ELA Coordinator Sandi Yellenberg – Science Coordinator • Steve Sinclair, ELA Coordinator • Sandra Yellenberg, Science Coordinator English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies & Science/Technical Subjects

  2. A Word from Sally Hampton

  3. CCSS Overarching Goals Ensure that our students are:  Meeting college and work expectations;  Provided a vision of what it means to be a literate person in the twenty-first century;  Prepared to succeed in our global economy and society; and  Provided with rigorous content and applications of higher knowledge through higher order thinking skills.

  4. Benefits of the CCSS  Internationally benchmarked  Expectations clear to students, parents, teachers, and the general public  Allow for collaboration with other states on best practices, instructional materials, and professional development  Costs to the state reduced  Consistent expectations for all—not dependent on a zip code

  5. CCSS Set Requirements for Both . . . English Language Arts (ELA) • Reading • Writing • Speaking & Listening • Language  Literacy in History/Social Studies & Science and Technical Subjects • K-5: Embedded in ELA • 6-12: Separate section (Reading & Writing only)

  6. Similar Domains/Strands

  7. Shifts

  8. Key Advances of CCSS Greater clarity and coherency across grade spans

  9. Standards Viewed in Grade Spans

  10. Strand Organization • Subheadings are consistent across grade levels within each set of standards.

  11. Table Talk Review the standards comparison matrix at your tables. Compare the CCCS to the California Standards. What do you notice?

  12. Key Advances of CCSS • Greater clarity and coherency across grade spans •  Reading • Attention to text complexity

  13. 3 Factors to Measure Text Complexity Qualitative Quantitative Reader and Task

  14. Text Complexity 14  Reading standards place equal emphasis on the sophistication of what students read and the skill with which they read .  Standard 10 defines a grade-by-grade “staircase” of increasing text complexity that rises from beginning reading to the college and career readiness level.

  15. Key Advances of CCSS • Greater clarity and coherency across grade spans •  Reading • Attention to text complexity • Balance of literature and informational texts

  16. NAEP Alignment in Reading Percentages do not imply that high school ELA teachers must teach 70% informational text; they demand instead that a great deal of reading should occur in other disciplines.

  17. NAEP Alignment in Writing  Three mutually reinforcing writing capacities: • To persuade • To explain • To convey real or imagined experience

  18. K-5: Tools Dominate

  19. 6-12: Disciplines Dominate

  20. Integrated Model of Literacy

  21. Integrated Model of Literacy 7th Grade

  22. Key Advances of CCSS • Greater clarity and coherency across grade spans •  Reading • Attention to text complexity • Balance of literature and informational texts •  Writing • Emphasis on argument and informative/explanatory writing

  23. Streamlined Writing Applications CCSS: Write • Opinions (K-5); • Arguments (6-12) • Informative/ Explanatory Texts • Narratives CA Standards: • Narratives • Expository Descriptions • Friendly Letters • Personal or Formal Letters • Response to Literature • Information Reports • Summaries • Persuasive Letters/Compositions • Research Reports • Fictional Narratives • Biographical/Autobiographical Narratives • Career Development Documents • Technical Documents • Reflective Compositions • Historical Investigation Reports • Job Application/Resume

  24. Key Advances of CCSS • Greater clarity and coherency across grade spans •  Reading • Attention to text complexity • Balance of literature and informational texts •  Writing • Emphasis on argument and informative/explanatory writing •  Speaking and Listening • Inclusion of formal and informal talk

  25. Collaborative Conversations 26 Speaking and Listening, Grade 5 1. Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 5 topics and texts, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly. • Come to discussions prepared, having read or studied required material … • Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions and carry out assigned roles. • Pose and respond to specific questions by making comments that contribute to the discussion and elaborate on the remarks others . . .

  26. Key Advances of CCSS • Greater clarity and coherency across grade spans •  Reading • Attention to text complexity • Balance of literature and informational texts •  Writing • Emphasis on argument and informative/explanatory writing •  Speaking and Listening • Inclusion of formal and informal talk •  Integrates media sources across the standards

  27. Integrating Media Sources 28 Reading Standards for Informational Text, Grade 6 7. Integrate information presented in different media or formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively) as well as in words to develop a coherent understanding of a topic or issue. Writing Standards, Grade 6 6. Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing a well as to interact and collaborate with others; demonstrate sufficient command of keyboarding skills to type a minimum of three pages in a single sitting.

  28. In sum . . . • All Teachers will need to • Scaffold comprehension of increasingly Complex Texts • Integrate Media Sources into instructional activities • Support/monitor Informal Talk • ELA Teachers will need to • Teach how a wide variety of genres fall into three big buckets: Expository, Persuasive, and Narrative • Science and History Teachers will need to • Teach Reading and Writing strategies in their content areas explicitly

  29. What are the implications for PD? At your tables, discuss the Professional Development priorities for supporting teachers in integrating the new Common Core State Standards.
