Common Core State Standards

1. Integrated Academics and the Common Core State Standards in Career and Technical EducationKeith E. Babuszczak, EdDField Team AssociateCTE Technical Assistance Center of NY

2. Common Core State Standards • Common Core State Standards for ELA and Mathematics replace the NYS Learning Standards. • All other NYS Learning Standards remain in use. • Common Core State Standards were created by the National Governors’ Association. • PARCC Assessments will be aligned to the CCSS, be more rigorous and relevant, include more student-generated artifacts, and be taken online.

4. Benefits of Integrated Academics • Support learners who may be struggling in traditional content-area courses. • Prepare students for more application-based questions on NGAs. • Prepare students for college readiness and Accuplacer or other assessments. • Allows for distributed credits, which can open up a student’s schedule.

5. Why now? • Academic teachers are realigning and redesigning curriculum. • Demonstrate the rigor and relevance of Career and Technical Education. • CTE relevancy, especially in times of tight budgets. • College and Career partners asking for these kinds of skills. • Alignment benefits the student through relevance and combining disciplines.

6. Aligning Standards and Instruction • Get to know the Common Core State Standards and State Learning Standards. • Review your own curriculum. • Scan standards and your curriculum for obvious links. • Review student-level data. • Gather feedback from stakeholders. • Determine which standards fit best into your curriculum. • Create curriculum maps, crosswalks, and lesson plans. • Teach the integrated lessons. • Evaluate the lessons and revise as necessary. www.nyctecenter.org Curriculum Matrix, National Essential Skills SurveyInteractive Curriculum Matrix

7. Next Generation Assessments • Are assessments, not lesson plans. • Prepare students for next generation assessments in ELA and mathematics with real world examples and higher order thinking skills. • Identify and apply specific academic standards in a rigorous and relevant CTE lesson and context. • Include a rubric and/or checklist to guide and evaluate student work.

12. Questions Guiding Future Work • What are the Common Core State Standards and NYS Learning Standards that are most relevant to my program area and are most applicable to my students? • How can I create integrated lessons that meet these standards? • How can I increase the rigor and relevance of lessons and student assessments? • How can I build a relationship with the academic teacher that will also help my students?
