  8. As part of the new [Chapter 4] regulations, Pennsylvania’s Core Standards offer a set of rigorous, high-quality academic expectations in English Language Arts and Mathematics that all students should master by the end of each grade level. The PA Core Standards are robust and relevant to the real world and reflect the knowledge and skills our young people need to succeed in life after high school, in both post-secondary education and a globally competitive workforce.

  27. The standards are like the building code. Architects and builders must attend to them but they are not the purpose of the design. The house to be built or renovated is designed to meet the needs of the client in a functional and pleasing manner—while also meeting the building code along the way. ~Jay McTighe & Grant Wiggins Source: http://grantwiggins.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/mctighe_wiggins_final_common_core_standards.pdf

  30. ELA Instructional Shifts • Balancing the reading of informational and literary texts so that students can access nonfiction and authentic texts, as well as literature • Focusing on close and careful reading of text so that students are learning from the text • Building a staircase of complexity (i.e., each grade level requires a “step” of growth on the “staircase”) so that students graduate college or career ready • Supporting writing from sources (i.e., using evidence from text to inform or make an argument) so that students use evidence and respond to the ideas, events, facts, and arguments presented in the texts they read • Stressing an academically focused vocabulary so that students can access more complex texts Source: PA Core Academic Standards for English Language Arts, March 1, 2014, (p. 2) at http://www.pdesas.org/standard/PACore

  31. Shift 1:Balancing Informational & Literary Texts • Balancing the reading of informational and literary texts so that students can access nonfiction and authentic texts, as well as literature • Source: PA Core Academic Standards for English Language Arts, March 1, 2014, (p. 2) at http://www.pdesas.org/standard/PACore Percentages reflect reading across all disciplines.

  46. Instructional Implications • Incorporate into instruction more text dependent questions that require students to read a text closely to determine what it says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it. • Have students read more non-fiction and complex texts. • Focus writing instruction substantially on writing to inform and structure an argument, not only writing stories Source: PA Core Standards Teacher Fact Sheet, December 1, 2013, (pp. 3-4) at http://static.pdesas.org/content/documents/PA%20Core%20Standards%20Fact%20Sheet%20For%20Teachers%2012.1.2013.pdf • Emphasize higher order comprehension instruction (i.e., sort & categorize, compare & contrast, evaluate, analyze, and reason) Source: Calkins, L., Ehrenworth, M., & Lehman, C.
