Common Core State Standards. Slow and Steady. Congratulations. The Plan. K-2 Teachers will USE the Common Core State Standards beginning Fall 2011 (yep, next year) K-2 Assessments will be aligned to the Common Core State Standards (this has been CONFIRMED). How will teachers be supported?.

Common Core State Standards Slow and Steady
The Plan • K-2 Teachers will USE the Common Core State Standards beginning Fall 2011 (yep, next year) • K-2 Assessments will be aligned to the Common Core State Standards (this has been CONFIRMED)
How will teachers be supported? State Supports: • Unpacking documents • Crosswalks (compares Essential Standards and Common Core) • Professional Development materials • Sample assessments
How will teachers be supported? District Supports: • Alignment documents • Pacing documents • Professional Development
How will YOU be supported? Ongoing professional development during Math Facilitator Meetings • January: Common Core 101 • February: K-2 Geometry • March: K-2 Measurement • April: Unpacking the Common Core • Ongoing: K-2 Number
Take a Deep Breath And let out a big sigh of relief…
The Standards allow us to: • focus on what really matters • have common expectations across states • help children build a deeper understanding of mathematics
Our Goal Today • Build common language around the CCSS • Understand structural components of the Standards
Structure of the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice 8 standards that describe what mathematically proficient students do Find the Standards for Practice “mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution.”
Structure of the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice Standards for Mathematical Content Define what students should understand and be able to do in their study of mathematics
Structure of the Common Core Introduction
Structure of the Common Core Overview
Structure of the Common Core Standards define what students should understand and be able to do.
Structure of the Common Core Domains are large groups of related standards
Structure of the Common Core Clusters are groups of related standards. Note that standards from different clusters may sometimes be closely related, because mathematics is a connected subject.
