  3. Welcome! "When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another!" Helen Keller

  4. Overview of the Initiative State-led and developed Common Core Standards for K-12 in English Language Arts and Math Focus on learning expectations for students - not how students get there

  5. Rationale • EquityStudents expectations the same regardless of where they live • College and Career ReadinessStudents need to be more than proficient • Comparability State results will be comparable through common assessments • Sharing of ResourcesThe ability to share instructional materials across state lines can improve practice • Economies of ScalePossible savings due to sharing of resources and assessments • Student MobilityStudents moving into and out of states will have the same standards

  6. ELA Standards Advances • Text complexity • Balance of literature and informational texts • Direct link to college and career readiness • Literacy standards for science and social studies • Clear vertical progressions across grades

  7. Three Shifts in Literacy Informational and NonfictionBuilding knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and informational texts Shift 1 EvidenceReading and writing grounded in evidence from text Shift 2 Complex Texts Regular practice with complex text and its academic vocabulary Shift 3

  8. Text Complexity What does it really mean? How can we help make it happen?

  9. Rationale for Text Complexity • K-12 texts have become easier; college texts have not. • College textbooks, workplace texts, and newspapers are more demanding than materials used in 12th grade. • Instruction with HS texts is heavily scaffolded while students are expected to read independently in college. • The reading load in college is substantially more than what students typically experience in lower grades.
