7. Big/Ideas for this course Day 1-Laying the Foundation- Phase 1, deep understanding of the CC, Comparative Analysis, and Model Curriculum 3/2/2012 LEXILE TRAINING 3/19 Day 2- Consensus Mapping-Phase 2 4/23 Day 3- Unit Development for Informational Text Phase 3

8. Learning Goals- Work as vertical K-2 teams to better understand the New Common Core Standards and the Ohio Model Curriculum.Work as grade level teams to do consensus mapping. Use the components of curriculum mapping to do unit planning (essential understandings, concepts, skills (including Differentiation) and assessments).Learn how to upgrade your units/lessons to include web 2.0 tools.Use Web 2.0 programs to collaborate.

9. Essential Questions How can we ensure a guaranteed viable curriculum for all students? How can we develop quality consensus maps and units? How can we develop a structure that will allow us to integrate 21stcentury skills, assessments, and tools to better prepare our students for their futures?

10. Learning Targets I Can… Access the Common Core Standards, Model Curriculum, Comparatives and Crosswalks online Review the Crosswalks and Comparative documents for ELA Common Core standards and revised standards to identify the non-negotiables and targeted levels of instruction Collaborate with peers to develop scaffolded curriculum units that emphasizes coherence, focus, and rigor

11. I Can… Use standards and Model Curriculum as a launching point to strengthen alignment and vertical articulation among all of the critical components on the map Create a Curriculum Pacing Guide for my grade level Upgrade the curriculum to incorporate engaging 21st Century instructional strategies, assessments, skills, and resources Use mapping software that will allow for gap analysis.

40. Additional Components of the Common Core State Standards

41. Anchor Standards • Broad, foundational standards that define skills that students must demonstrate in order to be college and career ready. • Example: CCR.RL.1 • Read and comprehend complex literary and informational texts independently and proficiently. (Look at your flip book for RL -Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity to see what this looks like at your grade level.)

42. Anchor Standards • Each strand has a set of College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards (CCR) • Reading – 10 Anchor Standards • Writing – 10 Anchor Standards • Speaking and Listening – 6 Anchor Standards • Language – 6 Anchor Standards

43. Anchor Standards • Writing Standard 8 • Anchor Standard: Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source, and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism. • Grade 3: Recall information from experiences or gather information from print and digital sources; take brief notes on sources and sort evidence into provided categories. • Grade 6: Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources; assess the credibility of each source, and quote or paraphrase the data and conclusions of others while avoiding plagiarism and providing basic bibliographic information for sources. • Grade 9: Gather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources, using advanced searches effectively; assess the usefulness of each source in answering the research question; integrate information into the text selectively to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism and following a standard format for citation.

(CCSS Glossary)

46. To What Grade Levels Do They Apply? • Grades 6 – 12 • Why not K – 5? • The Literacy Standards are predicated on the assumption that K-5 teachers teach reading and writing across content areas. • Video Resources

47. Where Are They Located? • The Introduction – pp. 1 – 8 • K – 5 Standards – pp. 9-33 • 6-12 Standards – pp.34 – 58 • Literacy Standards – pp.59 - 66

48. Who is Responsible for Teaching the Literacy Standards? “The Standards insist that instruction in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language be a shared responsibility within the school.” Introduction to the CCSS, p. 4

49. Appendices • Appendix A • Explains the topic and standard statements that focus on text complexity • Research supporting key elements of the standards • Glossary of Key Terms
