CCSS for English, Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Presentation designed by: Penny Plavala, Multnomah ESD
Design and Organization College and Career Readiness (CCR) Anchor Standards • Broad expectations consistent across grades and content areas • Based on evidence about college and workforce training expectations
Design and Organization K−12 Standards • Grade-specific end-of-year expectations • Developmentally appropriate, cumulative progression of skills and understandings • One-to-one correspondence with CCR standards
Four Strands Reading Writing Speaking & Listening Language
English Language Arts • Design and Organization Three main sections • K−5 (cross-disciplinary) • 6−12 English Language Arts • 6−12 Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects • Shared responsibility for students’ literacy development Three appendices • A: Research and evidence; glossary of key terms • B: Reading text exemplars; sample performance tasks • C: Annotated student writing samples
Reading • Balance of literature and informational texts • Increased text complexity • 6-12 standards: increased emphasis on informational text
Emphasis on Informational Text
Standards for Reading and Writing in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical subjects at Grades 6-12 • Complement specific content demands, • not replace them • Instruction in reading, writing, speaking is a shared responsibility within a school • Skills: analyze, evaluate, use text features and structure
Writing • Text types, responding to reading, and research • Arguments/opinions • Informative/explanatory texts • Narratives • Research projects • Higher standards for writing at earlier grade levels
Language • Conventions (grammar), effective use, & vocabulary • Standards include the essential rules of standard and written English, but they also look at language as a matter of craft and making choices. • Determine word meanings, increase vocabulary
Speaking and Listening Flexible, effective communication and collaboration • Standards require students to develop a range of broadly useful oral communication and interpersonal skills, for small group discussions and formal presentations
Students who are college and career ready in English Language Arts: • Demonstrate independence in reading and writing • Comprehend as well as critique • Use technology and digital media strategically and capably
A Closer Look at the • English Language Arts Standards
Structure of a Standard • Often, skillsthat we normally see separated in the Oregon standards are combined in the CCSS. • CCSS Example:Grade 4 Reading - Literature • Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text. literal comprehension inferential comprehension
Reading – Literature • Choose one grade level and examine standards 1-10. • Mark with these codes to show your understanding: • Choose one grade level and examine standards 1-10. • Mark with these codes to show your understanding: • = Good to go! • (blank) = Not so sure =OMG! • When finished, skim the other grade levels • until your peers are finished.
Review of ELA Standards Writing = 10 standards Speaking and Listening = 6 standards
Review of ELA Standards • Language = 6 standards • conventions for writing, speaking, reading and listening • vocabulary Note: CCR Anchor Standards are in the back of your packet
Did you notice the “spiral effect” in the standards? • The “spiral effect” metaphor relates to the ascending level of difficulty embedded in the content of each succeeding grade-specific standard as it approaches the CCR Anchor Standard.
Spiral Effect • Review the Example of Spiral Effect handout and underline evidence of increased difficulty in each grade level. • Work alone or with your partner.
The Classroom Connection • What does increased complexity in the standards mean for classroom instruction?
