  1. Standards here, Standards there, Standards, Standards everywhere. Leslie Brodie, M.Ed., NBCT K-12 Science Coordinator Fort Smith Public Schools

  2. The Reading – Writing Connection • “The average high school science text introduces seven to ten new concepts per page and between 2,400 and 3,000 symbols overall. Teachers who wish to cover an entire textbook must introduce a new concept every two minutes. Too much emphasis on the text results in teaching science as a body of knowledge.” • (Tierney, B. and Dorroh, J., 2004, p. 14)

  3. Helpful Websites • Today’s presentation: • http://labsolutions.pbworks.com/w/page/13427309/FrontPage • Common Core State Standards: • http://www.corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy • Next Generation Science Standards: • http://www.nextgenscience.org/ • FSPS Science Wiki: • http://fspsscience.pbworks.com/w/page/7676554/FrontPage • FSPS Literacy Wiki: • http://fspsliteracy.pbworks.com/w/page/7554211/FrontPage • 21st Century Skills: • http://www.p21.org/

  4. Norms • Share experiences to enrich others • Ask questions • Learn by doing • Set aside any preconceived notions about Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) • Apply to your own work

  5. Goals • By the end of this session, participants will be able to: • evaluate how grade level CCSS English Language Arts content standards and Scientific Literacy arewoven together. • build bridges between science content and CCSS. • share implementation ideas.

  6. Standards Here!!!

  7. Fist to Five 0 – This must have something to do with apples right? 1 – Isn’t that those new English Standards? I’ve heard something about those ….didn’t we adopt them in Arkansas? 2 – I’ve heard some about them and I’ve at least scanned through the standards documents. 3 – I’ve thoroughly read through the documents and I could use the terminology, but I don’t know how to implement. 4 – I k now the standards backwards and forwards; transitioning to these new standards will be a breeze! 5 – I am already ROCKING these standards in class!!!!

  8. Key Shifts in CCSS for English Language Arts • Complexity: Regular practice with complex texts and academic language • Evidence: Reading, writing, speaking and listening grounded in evidence from text, literary and informational. • Knowledge: Building knowledge through content rich nonfiction.

  9. CCSS and Science Reading and Writing • David Coleman Writer of CCSS for English Language Arts (ELA)

  10. Shared Responsibility • Subject area teachers are not responsible to teach reading and writing, rather they are responsible for teaching in the content areas and embeddingreading and writing.

  15. Standards Everywhere!! According to Achieve, NGSS will be available at midnight on March 31, 2013!!!

  16. How do we get it all done? • How will you deliberately and purposefully include Literacy CCSS in your curriculum? • How will your classroom function differently? • What specific changes will you make in the future?
