Grade Level Meetings May/June 2013

1. PA Common Core State Standards ELA/LITERACY/MATH Shifts for Students, Teachers and the Parkland School District Grade Level Meetings May/June 2013

2. What are the Common Core State Standards and how do they relate to the PA Common Core State Standards? • How do the PACCSS relate to the existing PA Standards? • What are the instructional implications of the shifts to PACCSS for students, teachers, and PSD? • What is the role of Professional Learning Communities in the implementation of the PACCSS? Goals for Presentation

5. PA Common Core Standards English Language Arts & Literacy College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards Speaking & Listening Focuses students on communication skills that enable critical listening and effective presentation of ideas. Writing Develops the skills of informational, argumentative, and narrative writing as well as the ability to engage in evidence based analysis of text and research. Foundational Skills A necessary component of an effective, comprehensive reading program designed to develop proficient readers. Reading Informational Text Enables students to read, understand, and respond to informational texts. Reading Literature Enables students to read, understand, and respond to literature. Appendix A: Research behind the standards and a glossary of terms Appendix B: Text exemplars illustrating complexity, quality, and range of reading appropriateness Appendix C: Annotated samples of student writing at various grades PA Common Core – Reading and Writing for Science and Technical Subjects 6-12 (Draft) PA Common Core – Reading and Writing for History and Social Studies 6-12 (Draft)

6. PENNSYLVANIA COMMON CORE STANDARDS English Language Arts CC 1.3 Reading Literature Students read and respond to works of literature—with emphasis on comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and making connections among ideas and between texts with focus on textual evidence.

11. Depth of Knowledge

13. Quantitative Measures – Readability and other scores of text complexity often best measured by computer software. Qualitative Measures – Levels of meaning, structure, language conventionality and clarity, and knowledge demands often best measured by an attentive human reader. Reader and Task Considerations – Background knowledge of reader, motivation, interests, and complexity generated by tasks assigned often best made by educators employing their professional judgment. Overview of Text Complexity

14. Lexile levels are based on a readability formula that examines word frequency & sentence length. • Scores range from below 200L to above 1600L for advanced readers • CCSS require higher Lexile scores than ever before. For example in Grades 4-5 from 645-845 to 770-980 Increase in Required Lexile Levels
