  1. Instructional Implications of the Common Core State Standards Sandra Alberti Student Achievement Partners, Inc. salberti@studentsachieve.net May 30, 2012 www.achievethecore.org

  2. Principles of the Standards • Aligned to requirements for College and Career Readiness • Based on evidence • Honest about time Fewer – Clearer – Higher

  3. Mathematics: 3 shifts • Focus: Focus strongly where the standards focus.

  4. The shape of math in A+ countries Mathematics topics intended at each grade by at least two-thirds of A+ countries Mathematics topics intended at each grade by at least two-thirds of 21 U.S. states 1 Schmidt, Houang, & Cogan, “A Coherent Curriculum: The Case of Mathematics.” (2002).

  5. Traditional U.S. Approach

  6. Focusing attention within Number and Operations

  7. Priorities in Mathematics

  8. Mathematics: 3 shifts • Focus: Focus strongly where the standards focus. • Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics

  9. Coherence: Link to major topics within grades Example: data representation Standard 3.MD.3

  10. Mathematics: 3 shifts • Focus: Focus strongly where the standards focus. • Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics • Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application

  11. Key Fluencies

  12. Mathematical Practices • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. • Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. • Model with mathematics. • Use appropriate tools strategically. • Attend to precision. • Look for and make use of structure. • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Don’t Bureaucratize

  13. Content Emphases

  14. ELA/Literacy: 3 shifts • Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction • Reading, writing and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational • Regular practice with complex text and its academic language

  15. Advice to LEAs:You need numbers to make this happen!

  16. Strategies for Alignment • How are you spending: • Questions on local assessments? • What do you value in PD? • What do you look for in teacher observations? • Money? • Time? • Energy?

  17. Cautions: • www.achievethecore.org • www.pta.org/4446.htm • www.illustrativemathematics.org • Not about “gap analysis” or simple content alignment • Not about buying a text series • Not a march through the standards Resources
