Common Core and the Arts Connections, Collaborations and Myths
Why Common Core? • College and Career Ready • More competitive… • …and federal incentives…
What are the Common Core State Standards? • English Language Arts and Literacy Standards • Math standards
What are not the Common Core State Standards? • All other content area standards • Science – Next Generation Science Standards coming March 31 • Social Studies – state level • National Core Arts Standards coming in 2014 • World Languages • Health and Nutrition • Physical Education
What’s the same in the Common Core? • Content standards • Arranged by content (strand) and grade level (articulation)
What’s different in the Common Core? • Articulation begins from College downwards • Not built by educators but by experts • Emphasis on American competitiveness
ELA Instructional Shifts and the Arts Demands 50% Informational Text Use Informational Texts in the Arts Deep Reading of Text What are texts? If all human made content then all artistic products are text Value Domain Language Rich content language Speaking and Listening Dramatic Arts Emphasize Academic Language Embody academic language in artistic process
Math Instructional Shifts and the Arts Emphasis on practice/technique Automaticity …which is very similar to creative practice Think Mathematically
Standards for Mathematical Practice • 1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. • 2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • 3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. • 4 Model with mathematics. • 5 Use appropriate tools strategically. • 6 Attend to precision. • 7 Look for and make use of structure. • 8 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
Framework Connections with Standards for Mathematical Practice
College and Career Readiness • Differing definitions • Some example Wordles • Common Core English Language Arts Introduction • Common Core Mathematical Practices • Partnership for 21st Century Skills
