Absolutes Teach to the standards for each of the required subjects (Alabama College- and Career-Ready Standards - Courses of Study) Through a clearly articulated and locally aligned K-12 curriculum (Sample curricula found on ALEX and Alabama Insight) Supported by aligned resources, support, and professional development (Sample lesson plans and supporting resources found on ALEX, differentiated support through ALSDE Regional Planning/Support Teams and ALSDE Initiatives, etc.) Monitored regularly through formative, interim/benchmark assessments to inform the effectiveness of the instruction and continued learning needs of individuals and groups of students (GlobalScholar, QualityCore Benchmarks, and other locally determined assessments) With a goal that each student graduates from high school with the knowledge and skills to succeed in post-high school education and the workforce without the need for remediation as evidenced by multiple measures achieved through multiple pathways to meet the graduation requirements set for students in Alabama.

Three Key Shifts with CCRS • Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and informational texts. • Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational. • Regular practice with complex text and its academic language.
English Language arts Social Studies, Science, Technical subjects Literature Fiction, drama, poetry Literary nonfiction Other Informational Text Increased quantity of materialsand instructional time devotedto informational test
Processing shift 1 • Literacy is a shared responsibility • This shift applies to Social Studies, Science, Technical subjects, and the Arts. • Students must establish a base knowledge across a wide range of subject matter by engaging with works of quality and substance. • This shift involves sequencing the text to build knowledge. • It is not just random reading.
Why Shift 1 • Extensive research supports the need for college and career ready students to be proficient in reading BOTH complex literary text and informational text independently in a variety of content areas.
Examples of Informational text • Expository • Argument • Functional • Literary Nonfiction
Expository Text • Textbooks • Instruction Manuals • Articles • Reference books • Graphs/Charts • Photographs • Newspapers
Argument • Speeches • Essays • Opinion Pieces • Magazines • Editorals
Functional Text • Directions • Forms • Applications • Menus • Contracts • Maps • Recipes
Literary Nonfiction • Autobiographies, Biographies • Memoirs • Historical Accounts • Scientific Accounts • Economic Accounts • Diaries
Why Shift 2 • Why is there a shift toward evidence – based reading, writing, and speaking? • Most college and workplace writing requires evidence. • The ability to cite evidence differentiates strong from weak student performance on national assessments of the educational progress.
Locating and Organizing evidence are hallmarks of strong Readers and Writers. • Evidence is a major emphasis of the ELA Anchor Standards: Reading Standard 1; Writing Standard 9; and Speaking and Listening standards 2,3,4 all focus on gathering, evaluating, and presenting evidence from text.
Shift 3 • Regular practice with complex text and its academic language.
