  1. California’s Common Core Content Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies & Science and Technical Subjects

  2. The Standards • Build toward preparing students to be college and career ready in literacy by no later than the end of high school • Provide a vision of what it means to be a literate person in the twenty-first century • Develop the skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening that are foundational for any creative and purposeful expression in language

  3. The Standards Set Requirements for Both... • English Language Arts (ELA) • Reading • Writing • Speaking & Listening • Language • Literacy in History/Social Studies & Science and Technical Subjects • K-5: Embedded in ELA • 6-12: Separate section

  4. Key Design Considerations • College and Career Readiness (CCR) anchor standards • Grade levels for K-8; grade bands for 9-10 and 11-12 • A focus on results rather than means • An integrated model of literacy • Research and media skills integrated into the Standards as a whole • Shared responsibility for students’ literacy development • Focus and coherence in instruction and assessment

  5. California’s Criteria for the Additional 15% • Substantively enhance • Address a perceived gap • Be defensible to classroom practitioners • Keep the original standard intact • Ensure the rigor of California’s existing standards is maintained

  6. California’s Additional 15%Examples of Additions • Analysis of text features in informational text (Gr. 6-12) • “Both in isolation and in text” added to the application of phonics and word analysis skills (Gr. K-3) • Penmanship added to Language (Gr. 2-4) • Formal presentations included in Speaking and Listening (Gr. 1-12) • Minor additions and insertions to enhance and clarify (e.g., archetypes, thesis)

  7. Standards Organization • Two content-area specific sections for grades 6-12 • English Language Arts • History/Social Studies & Science and Technical Subjects • Four strands • Reading • Writing • Speaking and Listening (K-12 ELA only) • Language (K-12 ELA only)

  8. Reading: Informational Text College and Career Readiness - Anchor Standard 2 Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details. Standard 2 - Note the progression across grade levels: • Kindergarten: With prompting and support, identify the main topic and retell key details of a text. • Grade 2: Identify the main topic of a multi-paragraph text as well as the focus of specific paragraphs within the text. • Grade 4: Determine the main idea of a text and explain how it is supported by key details; summarize the text.

  9. Reading: Informational Text Standard 2 Note the progression across grade levels: • Grade 6: Determine a central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments. • Grade 8: Determine a central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text, including its relationship to supporting ideas; provide an objective summary of the text. • Grades 11-12: Determine two or more central ideas of a text and analyze their development over the course of the text, including how they interact and build on one another to provide a complex analysis; provide an objective summary of the text.

  11. Sample Standards ComparisonGrades 9-10

  12. Placement Shifts Basically, the writing strand will encompass the message, and the language strand will have conventions and vocabulary

  13. Writing Applications Common Core Standards for CA • Write Opinions (K-5); Write Arguments (6-12) • Write Informative/Explanatory Texts • Write Narratives CA Standards • Narratives • Expository Descriptions • Friendly Letters • Personal or Formal Letters • Response to Literature • Information Reports • Summaries • Persuasive Letters/Compositions • Research Reports • Fictional Narratives • Biographical/Autobiographical Narratives • Career Development Documents • Technical Documents • Reflective Compositions • Historical Investigation Reports • Job Application/Resume

  14. A Progression of Writing The Standards cultivate three mutually reinforcing writing capacities: • To persuade • To explain • To convey real or imagined experience

  15. Areas of Emphasis in the Common Core State Standards • Focus on text complexity • Address reading and writing across the curriculum • Emphasize analysis of informational text • Focus on writing arguments and drawing evidence from sources • Emphasize participating in collaborative conversation • Integrate media sources across standards

  16. How muchInformational Text? • The Standards aim to align instruction with this National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) framework • Percentages do not imply that high school ELA teachers must teach 70% informational text; they demand instead that a great deal of reading should occur in other disciplines
