Where to Begin Learn how to navigate the standards Unpack the Standards Align or build the curriculum
How are the ELA standards organized? Three main sections • K-5 (cross-disciplinary) • 6-12 (English Language Arts) • 6-12 (Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects) Three appendices A: Research & evidence; glossary of key terms B: Reading text exemplars; sample performance tasks C: Annotated student writing samples
Literature Informational Foundational Skills
Vertical Progression of RI.1 RI Anchor Standard 1 – Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support to support conclusions drawn from text
Learning Progressions- CCR.W.1 Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence
Overview of Text Complexity (p.31) Reading Standards include exemplar texts (stories and literature, poetry, and informational texts) that illustrate appropriate level of complexity by grade Text complexity is defined by: 1. Qualitative measures – levels of meaning, structure, language conventionality and clarity, and knowledge demands 2. Quantitative measures – readability and other scores of text complexity 3. Reader and Task – background knowledge of reader, motivation, interests, and complexity generated by tasks assigned

Unpack the standards It’s a matter of perspective
Standard Department of Ed Perspective
Standard Teacher Perspective Unpacked – what do students really need to know, do and understand
How do I ‘unpack’ a standard? • Look closely into the standard and identify what students need to: • Know - Information • Do - formative assessment – how do you know they know? • Understand – What is the enduring understanding? The big idea that is transferable to other learning
Unpacking Standards - Example • Explain the relationships or interactions between two or more individuals , events, ideas, or concepts in historical, scientific, or technical text based on specific information in the text. • Unpack this into a KUD with a partner
