  1. Deconstructing the Standards Arizona's Common Core English Language Arts Standards Claudia Gaxiola

  2. Goals • Deconstruct the standards to gain a deeper knowledge of the embedded skills and rigor layers within and across grade level bands. • Use a deconstructed standard and knowledge of rigor to brainstorm a set of questioning strategies and/or activity ideas for use in the classroom. Essential Questions • Why is it essential to deconstruct the standards in order to build high quality instruction and achieve student understanding? • How do standards 1-9 contribute to standard 10 in RL and RI? • What do students need to know and be able to do? • How will I know if my students have achieved the desired trajectory to meet the College and Career Readiness Standards?

  8. Deconstructing Arizona's Common Core English Language Arts Standards Your Turn!

  9. Deconstructing the College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards At your table “deconstruct” your assigned CCR cluster.

  10. Deconstructing the 2010 Arizona English Language Arts Standards Grade Levels: 5 – 6 participants Grade Levels: Divide into 2 Teams Reading Literature Strand (RL) and Reading Information Strand (RI) Teams: Find your assigned strand and grade level Highlight the verbs and verb phrases in standards 1-9 Highlight the nouns and noun phrases in standards 1-9

  11. Deconstructing the 2010 Arizona English Language Arts Standards Your team will need 3 pieces of chart paper, one for each assigned cluster. Each chart should have the following components.

  12. Deconstructing the 2010 Arizona EnglishLanguage Arts Standards Post your charts on the wall by Cluster, Strand, and Grade Level Key Ideas and Details: RL - grade levels in ascending order RI - grade levels in ascending order Craft and Structure: RL - grade levels in ascending order RI - grade levels in ascending order Integration of Knowledge and Ideas: RL - grade levels in ascending order RI - grade levels in ascending order

  13. Break Time!

  14. Deconstructing the College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards • Take a Gallery Walk: • Questions to Ponder • Are the clusters independent or intertwined as you move down the standards? • Does the rigor increase? • What are the implications for instruction? • As you review the charts write your • comments/connections on a post-it, • noting smooth transitions and/or • giant leaps. • Place your note on the chart.

  15. Reconstructing the College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards Putting it back together…

  16. Constructing Instruction: Select a cluster from RI or RL that you would like to use for this activity. Locate the Constructing Instruction handout behind the activities tab. Brainstorm texts, strategies and learning activities teachers can use to frame instruction.

  17. Constructing Instruction Using the Cognitive Rigor Matrix, compare your list of activities to the 4 levels of DOK as a check for rigor. Are your activities concentrating in less or more rigorous areas? How will you use the Cognitive Rigor Matrix to increase the rigor in your instruction?

  18. Putting it all together When you return to your LEAs and schools consider the next steps in construction: What have you learned that will help you show teachers how to gain deeper understanding of the standards? What other tools and resources will you need to get the job done?

  19. Essential Questions • Why is it essential to deconstruct the standards in order to build high quality instruction and achieve student understanding? • How do standards 1-9 contribute to 10 in RL and RI? • What do students need to know and be able to do? • How will I know if my students have achieved the desired trajectory to meet the College and Career Readiness Standards?
