COMMON CORE Standards Plus®A Division of Learning Plus A nonprofit group of educators All Learning Plus instructional materials are developed by educators. Our mission is to support student achievement by sharing research-based products and professional development.
Goals for Today’s session • Gain a better understanding the Common Core Standards (CCS) • Explore an effective approach to analyzing the content, structure and rigor of the CCS
Definition of Rigor • Students apply basic skills and concepts in new ways. • Students understand and explain their learning. • Students synthesize current and prior learning to demonstrate their knowledge. • Students are persistent when they confront complex tasks.
enhanced student performance expectations • Students will respond to open-ended questions and problems. • Students will determine solutions and responses and defend their reasoning. • Students will discuss content, both formally and informally. • Students will provide evidence, models, or explanations that reflect a deep understanding of content skills, process skills, and concepts.

Current Instruction 3rd Grade Language Arts California State Standard: Written and Oral English Language Conventions. 1.1 Understand and be able to use complete and correct declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory sentences in writing and speaking. 1.6 Use commas in dates, locations, and addresses and for items in a series.

2014-2015 All adopting states will test the Common Core State Standards no later than the 2014-2015 school year.
Doug Reeves Said… “The first step in preparation is for teachers to reviewthe CCSSand highlight the standards that they are already teaching.”
CCS Mathematics Standards Grade 6 Ratios & Proportional Relationships Standard: Standard 6.RP.1: Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities.
Mathematics Standards California Content Standards: Grade 6 • Number Sense 1.0* Students compare and order positive and negative fractions, decimals, and mixed numbers. Students solve problems involving fractions, ratios, proportions, and percentages: • Number Sense 1.2* Interpret and use ratios in different contexts (e.g., batting averages, miles per hour) to show the relative sizes of two quantities, using appropriate notations (a/b, a to b, a:b).

What to Analyze… There are many standards A standard analysis process can be lengthy It is important to be selective of which standards to analyze
What to Analyze… We recommend the following: • Evaluate what is the same and what is different between your current standards and the Common Core State Standards. • You do not need to analyze that which is the same. You are already teaching those standards or parts of standards. • Analyze the standards or parts of standards that are different, or those standards or parts of standards that must be demonstrated in new or deeper ways.
CCSS READING Standards Grade 3 Reading Informational Text Standard: • RI.3.9: • Compare and contrast the most important points and key details presented in two texts on the same topic. Notice that Math and Language Arts are coded differently
Language arts Standards Grade 3 • California: Reading 2.4 Recall major points in the text and make and modify predictions about forthcoming information. Reading2.5 Distinguish the main idea and supporting details in expository text.

CCS Language Standards Grade 3 Language Standards: Vocabulary Acquisition and Use • L.3.5a: Distinguish the literal and nonliteral meanings of words and phrases in context (e.g., take steps).
ELA Standards California Content Standards: Grade 3 WORD ANALYSIS, FLUENCY, AND SYSTEMATIC VOCABULARY DEVELOPMENT: 1.6 Vocabulary and Concept Development: use sentence and word context to find the meaning of unknown words
CCS Language Standards Grade 3 Language Standards: Vocabulary Acquisition and Use • L.3.5a: Distinguish the literal and nonliteral meanings of words and phrases in context (e.g., take steps).
The lesson reinforces academic vocabulary “literal and non-literal,” and employs problem solving strategies “circle key words”
“circle key words” “non-literal meaning” “circle key words” “non-literal meaning” Ryan paints his face and wears huge shoes. Ryan says and does funny things.
