  1. Maryland Common Core State Curriculum for Literacy Monday, January 30, 2012 Social Studies Workshop Maryland State Department of Education

  2. Organization of ELA and Literacy CCSS Three main sections: English Language Arts, 6-12 English Language Arts, K*-5 Literacy in Hist/SS, Sci, and Tech Subj, 6-12 *Maryland has developed a PreK component.

  3. Structure of the ELA CCSC College and Career Ready Anchor Standards for each of the 4 Strands 10 10 6 6

  4. Structure of the Literacy CCSC College and Career Ready Anchor Standards for each of the 4 Strands

  5. CCSS for ELA and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects: CCR Anchor Standards • Only in ELA & Literacy • The same anchor standards for both ELA and Literacy • Divided into Clusters or Topics • Based on evidence about college and workforce training expectations • Identical across all grades & contents • Provide broad statements about college and career readiness College & Career Readiness Anchor Standards

  6. Strand Clusters – headings that group related standards Standards

  7. CCSS for ELA and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects: CCR Grade Level Standards Different grade level standards for ELA and Literacy, all building to the same anchor standards College & Career Readiness Anchor Standards Backwards mapped to build the ladder of success from Pre-K to 12 to College and careers! Grade Level Standards An increasingly rigorous set of expectations that form a staircase of skills necessary for meeting the College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards.

  8. CCSC Grade Specific Standards

  9. Grades K-5 “The K-5 standards include expectations for reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language applicable to a range of subjects, including but not limited to ELA.”

  10. CCSC Literacy Standards 6-12

  11. Common Core State Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects “This division reflects the unique, time-honored place of ELA teachers in developing students’ literacy skills while at the same time recognizing that teachers in other areas must have a role in this development as well.” (CCSS p. 4)

  12. Common Core State Standards “Part of the motivation behind the interdisciplinary approach to literacy promulgated by the Standards is extensive research establishing the need for college and career ready students to be proficient in reading complex informational text independently in a variety of content areas.” (CCSS p. 4)

  13. What Falls Under Informational Text in the CCSS K-5 • Biographies and autobiographies • Books about history, social studies, science, and the arts • Technical texts, including directions, forms, and information displayed in graphs, charts, or maps • Digital sources on a range of topics

  14. Informational Text in PreK-5 Classrooms Tool vs. Purpose • Reading/ELA • Teaching reading skills • (Foundations) • How to become a proficient • reader • Variety of genres, • perspectives, cultures, • ethnicities • Social Studies • Teaching Social Studies • content and standards • How to think like a Historian, • Political Scientist, etc. • Apply reading skills • Read Alouds • Independent Reading • Shared Reading

  15. A Look in the Classroom Reading Standards for Informational Text K-5 RI.4.3 Explain events, procedures, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text, including what happened and why, based on specific information in the text.

  16. What Makes Maryland Different? Transitioning to the MD Common Core State Curriculum

  17. Home-Grown Maryland Curriculum • Built on the structure and content of the Common Core State Standards • Adoption of the PARCC Assessments

  18. Home-Grown Maryland Curriculum • The Maryland Common Core State Curriculum is a Maryland created curriculum that includes Maryland CCSC frameworks and robust curriculum resources

  19. Maryland CCSC Frameworks • The Maryland Common Core State Curriculum Frameworks are built upon the Common Core State Standards • The Frameworks for ELA and Math were posted on MDK12.org in June 2011and presented to the Maryland State Board of Education in June 2011 • The Literacy Frameworks for History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects are being written this year

  20. A Maryland Piece:MD CCSC Frameworks in ELA & MathComing Soon: Frameworks in Social Studies and Science • In ELA and Math, educators from throughout the state: • Added pre-k standards • Brainstormed “Essential Skills and Knowledge” that a student should possess in order to meet the grade level standards—at every grade level.

  21. Orientation to the Framework Pages Cluster Anchor Standard Grade Level Standard Essential Skills & Knowledge

  23. Differences in Content • Increased Rigor • All strands will be tested • Move from persuasive writing to argumentative writing—dependent upon evidence • Grade level expectations for reading complex texts • Inclusion of non-traditional text, non-print media, and multi-media

  24. Let’s Become Familiar with the Literacy Standards for History/Social Studies You will be assigned a specific set of standards to examine. • Highlight or underline key differences between the sections you were assigned. • As you read, consider: • Differences from current instructional practices in history/social studies • What history/social studies teachers will need in order to implement these standards with fidelity

  25. For Discussion. . . At your table, discuss: • What are the key differences between ELA and Literacy in History/Social Studies? • How are the literacy standards different from current instructional practices in history/social studies? • What will history/social studies teachers need to know in order to implement these standards with fidelity? Be prepared to share!!!!
