  10. INTRODUCTION Common Core State Standards

  11. WHY “new” standards? • The CCSS ELA standards “the standards” are the culmination of an extended and broad-based effort to fulfill the charge issued by the states to create the next generation of K-12 standards in order to help ensure that ALL students are college and career ready in literacy not later than the end of high school.

  12. Who Led the Development of the Standards? • CCSSO-Council of Chief State School Officers • NGA- National Governors Association

  13. What makes the development of the CCSS standards different than our current standards? • They were developed among the states and not as a separate entity. • They draw on the most important INTERNATIONAL models, as well as research and input from numerous sources, including state departments, scholars, assessment developers, professional organizations, educators from college to kindergarten, parents,students and members of the public.

  14. The Standards are • Research and evidence based • Aligned with college and work expectations • Rigorous • Internally benchmarked

  15. A standard was included in the document ONLY when the best available evidence indicated that mastery was essential for college and career readiness in a 21st century, globally competitive society.

  16. The Standards are intended to be a living work; as new and better evidence emerges, the Standards will be revised accordingly.

  17. Students who meet the Standards develop the skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening that are the foundation for creative and purposeful expression in language.

  18. CCR and CCSS • The Standards are an extension of a prior initiative lead by CCSSO and NGA to develop College and Career Readiness standards in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language as well as in mathematics. • The CCR Standards are the backbone for the present document.

  19. CCR and CCSS • Grade-specific K-12 standards in reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language translate the broad (and, for the earliest grades, seemingly distant) aims of the CCR standards into age and attainment appropriate terms.

  20. In other words… • The CCR standards are broad and define distant expectations • The CCSS standards provide specificity about what working toward CCR looks like in Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade.

  21. Working with It CCSS Introduction

  22. The standards layout a vision of what a literate person looks like in the 21st century.

  23. Students who are College and Career Ready • Read page 6 in your binder. • Then work with your Common Core Leadership Team (your school) to create a portrait of the student described as college and career ready on page 6 from the introduction of the Standards. Be sure to illustrate as many aspects of the text as possible! • Be creative and make it fun!

  24. Prepare to Share… • Describe the CCR attributes illustrated on your portrait. • How does your CCR portrait compare to the portrait of a student entering your school? • If we were to create a portrait of the average high school graduate in Desoto County how would that portrait compare the the CCR portrait? Why? • What does CCR really have to do with Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd graders?

  25. Describe the CCR attributes illustrated on your portrait. • How does your CCR portrait compare to the portrait of a student entering your school? • If we were to create a portrait of the average high school graduate in Desoto County how would that portrait compare the the CCR portrait? Why? • What does CCR really have to do with Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd graders?

  26. Really…what does CCR have to do with us!? We teach Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade!

  27. College and Career Readiness Standards

  28. Two Sets of Standards • The CCR (College and Career Readiness) Anchor standards • Grade-specific standards

  29. CCR Anchor Standards • The CCR Anchor Standards are developed around 4 strands. • Reading • Writing • Speaking and Listening • Language

  30. CCR Anchor Standards for Reading • There are 10 Reading Anchor Standards • Those 10 standards “anchor” the grade-specific Reading Standards which includes: • Reading Standards for Literature- grade-specific standards • Reading Standards for Informational Text –grade-specific standards • Please turn to the CCSS Standards tab and insert the CCR Anchor Standards for Reading before Reading Standards for Literature.

  31. CCR Anchor Standards • The CCR anchor standards are constant. They are the same for K-12. • The grade-specific standards vary by grade-level.  • Each STRAND has a strand specific set. • For example, in Reading, • Key Ideas and Details • Craft and Structure • Integration of Knowledge and Ideas • Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity. • The Strand Specific Sets remain the same through out the entire strand and the entire document.

  32. CCR Anchor Standards for Writing • There are 10 Writing Anchor Standards • Writing- 4 Strand Specific Sets • Text Types and Purposes • Production and Distribution of Writing • Research to Build and Present Knowledge • Range of Writing

  33. Writing Correction • Please find Reading Standards for Foundational Skills – the Text Types & Purposes set. • This is an error. Please mark out the heading Reading Standards for Foundational Skills (RFS) and replace with Writing Standards (W). You will need make the same correction the two pages that follow, as well. • Then insert the CCR Anchor Standards for Writing before the pages with your corrected headings.

  34. CCR Anchor Standards for Speaking and Listening • There are 6 Anchor Standards for Speaking and Listening. • Speaking and Listening- 2 Strand Specific Sets • Comprehension and Collaboration • Presentation of Knowledge and Ideas • Insert the CCR Anchor Standards for Speaking and Listening before the Speaking and Listening Standards.

  35. CCR Anchor Standards for Language • There are 6 Anchor Standards for Language • Language- 3 Strand Specific Sets • Conventions in Standard English • Knowledge of Language • Vocabulary Acquisition and Use • Insert the CCR Anchor Standards for Language behind the Language standards.

  36. Making Connections • Choose an CCR anchor standard. • Example: SL.CCR.2 • Find the grade-level specific standards to support that CCR anchor standard. • Example: SL. K. 2 • Create a standards stair-step. Show how the standard progresses in detail from K-5, but for 6-12 you may just use a numbered stair step. • Where would the most appropriate place for the CCR anchor standard in your illustration? • Where would be the most appropriate place for your entering student and your college and career ready student in the visual? • When you are finished display all 3 pieces of your art work on the walls around the room to illustrate your understanding of the relationship between the student and the standards.

  37. SO….Are we teaching the CCR Anchor Standards or the grade-specific standards? Why or Why not? How or How not? Justify your answer by referencing your knowledge of the relationship between the two sets of standards?

  38. Getting to Know You Common Core State Standards

  39. Reading the Standards • College and Career Readiness Standards • Identified by the strand, CCR status, and number • Coded: R. CCR. 6 • Read As: Reading, College and Career Readiness, Standard 6

  40. Reading the Standards • Grade-Specific Standards • Identified by strand, grade, and number (or letter) • Coded as: RL.1.1 • Read as: Reading Literature, Grade 1, Standard 1 • Coded as: W.2.3 • Read as Writing, Grade 2, Standard 3

  41. Grade-Specific ELA Strands • Reading Literature -RL • Reading Informational Text - RI • Reading Foundational Skills - RF • Writing -W • Speaking and Listening - SL • Language – L
