  8. CCSS Standards Are A Blueprint

  9. What Does It Mean To Be College & Career Ready Today? To be ready for college, workforce training, and life in a technological society, students need the ability to gather, comprehend, evaluate, synthesize, and report on information and ideas, to conduct original research in order to answer questions or solve problems, and to analyze and create a high volume and extensive range of print and nonprint texts in media forms old and new. The need to conduct research and to produce and consume media is embedded into every aspect of today’s curriculum. -Common Core State Standards PA Common Core: , http://www.pdesas.org/Standard/CommonCore

  10. CCSS = Rich Possibilities! “With the Common Core of Standards, many things now become possible. Because states will be working from the same core, we can create broad-based sharing of what works but, at the same time, provide local flexibility to decide how best to teach the core.” – Vicki Phillips & Carina Wong (PDK, February 2010)

  11. Now We Need To Move … From blueprint… …to action!

  12. Historically… A Typical Approach Might Be HISTORICAL TIMELINE READING & WRITING ACROSS THE CURRICULUM WRITE READ PLEASE! PLEASE?

  13. Is There ADifferent Choice? So teachers don’t have to “move from CCSS blueprint to action” alone.

  14. The Literacy Design Collaborative … A humble beginning with a “scrappy” team of practitioners

  23. Why Tasks? “What determines what students know and are able to do is not what the curriculum says they are supposed to do, or even what the teacher thinks he or she is asking students to do. What predicts performance is what students are actually doing.” City, Elmore, Fiarman and Teitel, Instructional Rounds in Education

  34. 13 Unpack Your Experience • What processes or strategies worked for you? What were your challenges? • What do students need to know and be able to do to complete the task successfully? • What instruction will teachers need to provide to ensure students can complete this task successfully?

  35. 14

  36. Scoring Levels • Possible scores of 1 to 4 • Descriptors for each whole number score • Option of using 1.5, 2.5, or 3.5 when, based on professional judgment, work is in between two descriptors • Expectation of professional dialogue to move toward consensus on key expectations

  37. Participant Work Session I

  38. You’ll Need… • Module Creator • Computer • Curriculum materials used for planning instruction • Sample Modules

  39. LDC Task Requirements • Use exact wording of the template task • Determine if you will use L2 and L3 • Keep the exact CCR Anchor Standards listed in the blank module because the alignment is already completed. Consider additional standards. • Add appropriate state content standards • Provide source information for the standards you use. • Use the exact rubric listed in the blank module

  40. A Great LDC Teaching Task • Addresses content essential to the discipline, inviting students to engage deeply in thinking and literacy practices around that issue • Makes effective use of the template task’s writing type (argumentation, information/explanation or narrative) • Utilizes reading texts that use and develop academic understanding and vocabulary

  41. Choosing Texts • Literature: novels, stories, poems, plays, anthologies • Primary Source documents: seminal documents, charters, photos, telegrams, newspapers, journals, etc. • Informational texts: textbooks, newspaper articles, journal articles, primary source documents • Opinion pieces: editorials, speeches, essays on an issue • Reference works: encyclopedias, almanacs, manuals, how-to books

  42. Three Part System: Quantitative Measure: gets you to the band and somewhere within it Qualitative Scale: places text inside the band, helps teacher understand elements of complexity Professional Judgment of Reader and Task: puts all considerations together

  43. Choosing Writing Products • For an essay, you might substitute a review, article, editorial, speech or proposal • For a report, you might substitute an article, lab report or a manual. • For a narrative, you might substitute an article, account, biography, story or script.
