PARCC Model Content Frameworks for English Language Arts (ELA)/Literacy Grades 3-11
Model Content Frameworks for ELA/Literacy “to serve as a bridge between the Common Core State Standards [CCCS] and the PARCC assessments”
Model Content Frameworks for ELA/Literacy • Voluntary resource • Designed to aid Curriculum Developers and Educators in implementing the CCSS • Illustrate “one of a number of ways” the CCSS may be organized over the course of a school year
Frameworks are not final • Intended to be dynamic and evolve • PARCC encourages educators to use the Frameworks • Feedback solicited for revisions
Purpose of PARCC Model Content Frameworks for ELA/Literacy • Support implementation of the CCSS • Inform development of PARCC item specifications and blueprints (Grades 3-11)
PARCC Assessments: ELA/Literacy The PARCC assessments will allow us to make important claims about students’ knowledge and skills. Whether students… • Can Read and Comprehend Complex Literary and Informational Text • Can Write Effectively When Analyzing Text • Have Attained Overall Proficiency in ELA/literacy
PARCC Assessment System “…Designed to measure knowledge, skills and understandings essential to achieving college and career readiness.” • Includes following areas, per CCSS: • Reading complex texts • Writing effectively when using and/or analyzing sources • Conducting and reporting on research • Speaking and listening • Language use for reading, writing and speaking
Structure of the Model Content Frameworks: ELA/Literacy Four sections: • Narrative Summary of the ELA Standards • The Model Content Framework Chart • Key Terms and Concepts for the Model Content Framework Chart • Writing and Speaking & Listening Standards Progressions Charts
Deconstructing the Frameworks: Narrative Summary of the ELA Standards • Provides overview • Highlights critical and distinctive characteristics and insights articulated within: • Grs. 3-5 ELA/Literacy CCSS • Grs. 6-11 ELA CCSS
Implications for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subject Areas • Frameworks reflect CCSS vision: • Provide foundational ideas for incorporating disciplinary literacy skills and practice into instructional programming
Deconstructing the Frameworks: Model Content Framework Chart • Illustrates overview of standards for each grade level • Provides a model of how the standards could be organized into 4 instructional modules • Could easily be reorganized based on semester, trimesters, quarters, etc. • Illustrates and provides context for the standards; it does not replace the standards themselves
The “foundation” of chart includes both: • Foundational Skills in Reading for students in Grades 3-5; and, • the fundamental skill set for students in Grades 3-11.
Deconstructing the Frameworks:Model Frameworks Chart • Provides educators flexibility to order the modules and content within modules reflecting needs. • Knowledge & skills embedded across 4 modules address ALL the standards for each grade level; therefore, order of the 4 modules is not critical.
Deconstructing the Frameworks:Model Frameworks Charts What changes throughout the modules? • Focus on types of texts read and written • Emphasis on types of texts read and written What remains constant throughout the modules? • Cultivation of students literacy skills in preparation for college and career readiness and PARCC assessments
Deconstructing the Frameworks: Key Terms and Concepts for the Model Content Frameworks Chart • Provides explanation of elements within Framework Chart • Elements play a key role within CCSS • Elements reflect critical emphasis within PARCC Assessment System “NOT intended to limit the types of texts educators may use”
Deconstructing the Frameworks:Writing & Speaking and Listening Standards Progressions Charts • Highlight the changes between the previous grade and current grade
Continuing the conversations… PARCC Model Content Framework Conversations: Build Awareness: • Share Power Point with educator colleagues Build Understanding: • Gather educators to discuss grade level Model Content Framework • Utilize RIDE’s PARCC Model Content Framework for ELA/Literacy Guide document to facilitate discussion • Review Curriculum & possible implications
