Oregon Common Core State Standards

1. Oregon Common Core State Standards Increasing Student Achievement Through Standards-Based Education

2. Purpose • Highlight ELA and Math Considerations • CCSS Resources • Websites • Toolkit • Webinars • District Implementation • Plan

3. English Language Arts CCSS Video FAQ Goals of the CCSS ELA

4. English Language Arts – Instructional Shift Traditional Classroom Focus on literature (fiction) Literary skills (identifying terms and devices like theme) ELA taught in isolation Common Core Classroom Informational texts prepare for college and career Cross-content literacy ELA taught in collaboration

5. ELA Instructional Shifts • Balancing Informational and Literary Text • Building Knowledge in the Disciplines • Text-Based Answers • Writing from Sources • Staircase of Complexity • Academic Vocabulary

7. ELA Impact • Materials: Shift in what students are reading – within existing materials • Reading lists include a balance of literature and informational text • Teachers: Shift in student questions • Shift to 80% of questions asked as text-dependent • Students: Evidence of close reading • Close encounters with sufficiently complex text demonstrated through writing to inform or argue using evidence from text

8. Reading-Literature • Choose one grade level and examine standards 1-10. • Mark with these codes to show your understanding +Good to go! -Not so sure * OMG! If you complete this task, identify the level of Blooms, identify key vocabulary & engagement strategies

9. Mathematics CCSS Video FAQ CCSS Math Classroom

10. Math Instructional Shifts • Focus from solving problems to problem solving • Coherence-spiraling • Fluency • Applications • Dual Intensity • Deep Understanding

11. Priorities in Mathematics

12. Mathematical Practices • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. • Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. • Model with mathematics. • Use appropriate tools strategically. • Attend to precision. • Look for and make use of structure. • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

13. Math Impact • Materials: Focus • Clear indication of fewer concepts at each grade level represented by curriculum documents, district formative assessments • Teachers: Identify focus areas and fluencies of grade level • Shift in time spent on areas of in-depth instruction • Students: Demonstrated fluency and understanding • Display fluencies for the grade level and understand focus areas
