Overview • What needs to change • ELA/Literacy • Math • Suggested Action Steps for LEAs
ELA/Literacy: 6 shifts • Balance of literature and informational text (K-5) • Literacy as part of science and social studies/history; informational text as part of ELA (6-12) • Appropriately complex text • Questions regarding text are text-dependent • Writing to inform or argue using evidence • Academic vocabulary
Mathematics • FOCUS • FOCUS • FOCUS • Coherence • Fluency • Deep Understanding • Application • Intensity
Mathematical Practices • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. • Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. • Model with mathematics. • Use appropriate tools strategically. • Attend to precision. • Look for and make use of structure. • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Don’t Bureaucratize
Advice to LEAs You need numbers to make this happen! • Materials • Teachers • Students
Assessment • Strongest message you can send • ELA/Literacy • Informational passages • Writing to sources – not narrative, decontextualized prompts • Math • Focus content
