3. Cracking the Code: How to Read the Common Core State Standards Rhode Island Department of Education 10/2011

4. Common Core State Standards The Standards define the knowledge and skills students should have within their K-12 education careers so that they will graduate from high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses and in workforce training programs. K-12 Standards • Mathematics • English Language Arts (Reading, Writing, Speaking & Listening) • Includes: Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects, 6-12

5. The Common Core State Standards: • Are aligned with college and workforce expectations; • Are clear, understandable and consistent; • Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills; • Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards; • Are informed by standards in other top performing countries, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society; and • Are evidence-based.

7. ELA: Design & Organization • Three Sections • K-5 (cross-disciplinary) • 6-12 English Language Arts • 6-12 Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, & Technical Subjects Handout 1 • Three Appendices • A: Research and evidence; glossary • B: Reading text exemplars; sample performance tasks • C: Annotated student writing samples Available at: http://www.corestandards.org/the-standards

8. ELA: Design & Organization Handout 1 • College and Career Readiness (CCR) ANCHOR Standards • Broad expectations consistent across grades and content areas • Based on evidence about college and workforce training expectations

9. Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects • College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards • Anchor Standards are broad expectations consistent across grades and content areas, based on evidence about college and workforce training expectations. • What students should be able to do at the end of Grade 12.

10. College and Career ReadinessAnchor Standards for Reading • Key Ideas and Details—3 Anchor Standards • Craft and Structure—3 Anchor Standards • Integration of Knowledge and Ideas—3 Anchor Standards • Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity—1 Anchor Standard The Anchor Standard is the broad standard.

11. 4 Categories of Anchor Standards for Reading Ten College Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading

12. Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects • Reading Standards for Literacy In Science and Technical Subjects 6-12 • 1/3 of college students require remedial courses • Many students entering workforce are unable to read and comprehend technical manuals • Reading is critical to build knowledge • Understanding of domain-specific words and phrases are important • Attention to detail is stressed • Follow detail descriptions is relevant

13. How to “talk” about theELA Standards • The Literacy Common Core Standards as written do not clearly articulate a set of codes with which to refer to. • A code has been developed • Aide in distinguishing Anchor Standards from Grade-Specific Standards • Ease of “conversation” about the standards • A KEY is necessary for “decoding” the code

19. Crosswalk Between: Common Core Curriculum for English /Language Arts and the National Business Education Standards • For curriculum purposes • Handout 2—Includes Speaking & Listening and Language (the RIDE site does not include) • 34 Page Document: Google Crosswalk of BIT/ELA Standards, dpi.wi.gov/bit/doc/bitelacrosswalk.doc

20. What This Looks Like in the Classroom • Handout 3A • Reading, Anchor Standard, Key Ideas and Details 1. Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. (What students should be able to do at the end of Grade 12)

21. Close Reading and Answering Text-Dependent Questions Reading Anchor Standards Language • Questions can only be answered by close reading • Requires an understanding that extends beyond recall • Often require students to infer

22. Content Rich Texts Reading Anchor Standards Language • Slow Down • Students should grovel with the text. The students need to struggle once in a while on the text. They should ask for help when needed. • Ask students, “What did you learn or not learn from text?” See the text itself as a source of evidence

23. General Academic Vocabulary Reading Anchor Standards Language • Tier 1—everyday vocabulary • Tier 2—general academic words—words used in text but do not hear often • Tier 3—subject related

24. Discussion Could Include the Following: • What specific skills are needed to meet these standard statements? • What other strands should be incorporated to help support this shift? • What do these standard statements look like in your classroom? RST.9-10.1 and RST.11-12.2 • Questions can only be answered by close reading • Requires an understanding that extends beyond recall • Often require students to infer

25. Sample Performance Tasks • Handout 3B • Groups by subject areas • Work together to share how these standards will look in your particular class

26. Common Core: Mathematics Standards In RIDE PP, great detail about Math CCS

27. Crosswalk Between Math CCSS and The National CTE Career Clusters • Available at http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=3517 • In table format, one column has Math standards and the next column identifies which cluster (Business and Public Administration) includes that Math standard in its curriculum
