Power Up for the Common Core with INFOhio

1. Power Up for the Common Core with INFOhio A Common Core Overview

2. Overview of the Overview • 48 slides covering basic information about the Common Core Standards • Slides 3-5—General introduction • Slides 6-10—Rationale for the CC • Slides 11-21—English Language Arts • Slides 22-29—Literacy Standards • Slides 30-38--Mathematics • Slide 39—State Implementation Timeline • Slide 40-46--Assessment

3. How to use these slides • If you want a quick overview so you have a basic understanding of the CC • If you want to understand terms that are being used by librarians/teachers you are working with. • But if you need to do a presentation on the CC and don’t feel comfortable, call an ICoach.

4. If all you have is a hammer… …everything looks like a nail.

5. But a full set of tools… …will help you manage the Common Core

11. Transition to Revised Standards • Provide learning progressions across grades Coherence • Are supported by model curricula (Rigor & Relevance) • Show a reduction in the amount of content to: • Be more manageable (Clarity • Promote greater depth of learning Focus From Embracing the Common Core, Helping Students Thrive, ODE presentation. 2-15-12

12. Bloom’s and Rigor “Rigor refers to academic rigor — learning in which students demonstrate a thorough, in-depth mastery of challenging tasks to develop cognitive skills through reflective thought, analysis, problem-solving, evaluation, or creativity.” Daggett, W., Rigor/Relevance Framework, International Center for Leadership in Education

26. Grade-specific standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies grades 6-12 Grade-specific standards distinctly identify what students should learn in each grade band. Barnhart, Marcia, INFOhio Common Core ELA and Literacy Standards webinar, 2-12-12.

27. Grade-specific standards for Literacy in Science and Technical Subjects 6-12 Same concept as History/SS--different skills Barnhart, Marcia, INFOhio Common Core ELA and Literacy Standards webinar, 2-12-12.

28. Unlike the Reading Standards, there is no division within the subjects. Barnhart, Marcia, INFOhio Common Core ELA and Literacy Standards webinar, 2-12-12.

29. Who is responsible for teaching the Literacy Standards? “The Standards insist that instruction in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language be a shared responsibility within the school.” (Introduction to the CCSS, p. 4) Barnhart, Marcia, INFOhio Common Core ELA and Literacy Standards webinar, 2-12-12.

31. Ten Guiding Principles • Make close reading of texts central to lesson • Structure majority of instruction so all students read grade-level complex texts • Emphasize informational texts from early grades on • Provide scaffolding that does not preempt or replace text • Ask text-dependent questions Ohio Department of Education, ELA presentation-Common Core and Model Curriculum

32. Ten Guiding Principles • Provide extensive research and writing opportunities (claims and evidence) • Offer regular opportunities for students to share ideas, evidence and research • Offer systematic instruction in vocabulary • Provide explicit instruction in grammar and conventions • Cultivate students’ independence Ohio Department of Education, ELA presentation-Common Core and Model Curriculum
