Implementing the California’s Common Core State Standards English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Mathematics
Brief History of Common Core in California June 2010 National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers released the Common Core State Standards for grades K-12 in ELA and Mathematics. June-July 2010 Academic Content Standards Commission met to review the CCSS for alignment to California standards and develop recommendations for standards to supplement the CCSS in California. July 28, 2010 AB X4 2 suspended the process and procedures for adopting instructional materials, including framework revisions, until 2013-2014 school-year. Funding was also removed from Curriculum Commission.
California • Common Core released June 2010 • CA Common Core State Standards adopted August 2, 2010.
Key Features of the ELA Standards • Balance reading literature with reading informational text • Balance narrative writing with informational, expository writing • Focus on critical analysis of both fiction and non-fiction • Emphasize vocabulary acquisition across the four strands of English–language arts • Foster oral communication, collaboration, and listening skills
Key Features of the Math Standards • Kindergarten through Grade Eight Standards: Domains • High School Standards: Conceptual Categories • Focus on arithmetic and fluency with whole numbers at early grades (K-5) • Fluency with fractions and decimals • Real world applications using modeling • Algebra readiness by grade eight and established grade eight standards
Note what the Standards DO and DO NOT cover

Implementing the California’s Common Core State Standards Legislative Updates and Available Resources
SB 140 (Lowenthal) Education Code Section 60605.86, created by Senate Bill 140 (Chapter 623 of the Statutes of 2011), requires the California Department of Education (CDE) to develop, and the State Board of Education (SBE) to approve, a list of supplemental instructional materials that are aligned with California’s common core academic content standards in mathematics and English-language arts. This new law requires that the SBE approve the evaluation criteria that will be used for the review of those supplemental materials.
Criteria for the Evaluation of Supplemental Instructional Materials To be eligible for recommendation by the SSPI, submitted materials must meet all of the criteria listed below: The materials must align to the California CCSS, as adopted by the SBE on August 2, 2010. The supplemental materials submitted, in conjunction with the existing adopted grade-level materials, must cover all of the California CCSS for a given grade level. In mathematics, “all of the California CCSS” includes the Mathematical Practices standards. In English-language arts, the standards for Literacy in History–Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects will not be part of the review in grades six through eight. *Supplemental materials may be submitted for kindergarten through grade seven mathematics programs that were adopted by the SBE on November 8, 2007
Criteria for the Evaluation ofSupplemental Instructional Materials To be eligible for recommendation by the SSPI for approval by the SBE, submitted materials must meet all of the criteria listed by category type listed below. Category 1: Supplements to Specific State-Adopted Programs Category 2: General Supplements to Any Program

AB 140 (Brownley) This SSPI sponsored legislation establishes a process to begin implementation of the common core academic content standards through the development of curriculum frameworks and professional development aligned with the common core English-language arts and mathematics standards. The bill requires the SBE to adopt a new Common Core State Standards (CCSS)-based mathematics framework by May 30, 2013, and a new framework in English-language arts by May 30, 2014.

AB 124 (Fuentes)- English Language Content Standards This State Superintendent of Public Instruction (SSPI) co-sponsored legislation establishes the English Language Development Standards Advisory Committee responsible for updating, revising, and aligning the English Language Development(ELD) standards with the common core English-language arts academic content standards recently approved by the State Board of Education (SBE). In addition, AB 124 requires the SBE to either adopt or reject the revised ELD standards by September 30, 2012, and include teachers and administrators with expertise in instructing English2012, and include teachers and administrators with expertise in instructing English learners in the membership of the committee. AB 124 was signed by the Governor on October 8th (Chapter 605, 2011). ELL Business Unit Training
