  1. St. Regis Catholic SchoolElementary and Academy Common Core State Standards A Snapshot of English Language Arts (ELA)

  2. Common Core State Standards • What are they? • Why do we need to use them? Standards aligned with college and work expectationsStandards that are clear, understandable and consistentStandards that include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skillsStandards that build upon strengths and lessons of current state standardsStandards that are informed by other top performing countries, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society Standards that are evidence-based

  3. Common Core ELA Standards • Reading • Writing • Speaking and Listening • Language • Media and Technology Reading is the cornerstone of all learning!

  4. Reading Standards • Establish a staircase or scaffolding effect, so knowledge builds • Require a progressive development of reading comprehension, so students can gain more knowledge as they graduate up through the grades It should be clear to every student, parent, and teacher what the standards of success are in every school in regards to reading expectations.

  5. Classic Literature • Contemporary Literature • Informational Texts Diversity is key with a range of subjects to build knowledge and gain insights, explore possibilities and broaden perspectives…

  6. Writing Standards • The ability to write logical arguments based on substantive claims, sound reasoning, and relevant evidence is a cornerstone of the writing standards. This will be evident throughout all the disciplines as we align our building curriculum.

  7. Research Expectations • Short and focused projects • Longer term in-depth research Both types of research are emphasized in the writing standards, given that written analysis and presentation findings is so often critical.

  8. Expected Student Writings • Writing Arguments • Informational Text • Explanatory Text • Narratives To be a good writer, one must write!

  9. Speaking and Listening Students will be able to: Gain evaluate and present complex information Collaborate in academic one-on-one, small group and whole class discussions Present formal presentations with incorporating technology Collaborate in informal discussions with peers to answer questions, build understanding and solve problems

  10. Language • Grow vocabularies…increase personal lexicons  • Determine word meanings • Prepare for life experience and the 21st century career (@ St. Regis we have incorporated a Leadership curriculum, to enhance this area) • Evident through writing and speaking across the disciplines

  11. Vocabulary and Conventions Vocabulary and conventions are treated in their own strand not because skills in these areas should be handled in isolation but because their use extends across reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Reading, Writing, Language Arts, Literature, Math, Science, Social Studies

  12. Media and Technology Just as media and technology are integrated in school and life in the twenty-first century, skills related to media use (both critical analysis and production of media) are integrated throughout the standards. Look for this integration to occur within the classroom as a curriculum enhancement next year.
