2. Takeaways from this presentation An understanding of: • the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) key shifts in literacy; • the reading and writing standards for Literacy in Science and Technical Subjects; and • how key shifts of CCSS for Literacy in Science and Technical Subjects are shifting expectations for support through CTE teaching and learning.

3. Common Core State Standards The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are a set of national standards which have been adopted by multiple states as their common standards. The standards address: Mathematics, ELA, and Literacy. The Literacy component touches Science, History/Social Studies, and Technical Subjects (CTE).
