THE COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS INITIATIVE

5

Beginning in the spring of 2009, Governors and state commissioners of education from 48 states, 2 territories and the District of Columbia committed to developing a common core of state K-12 English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics standards.

The Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI) is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO).

WHY COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS?

7

Preparation: The standards are college- and career-ready. They will help prepare students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in education and training after high school.

Competition: The standards are internationally benchmarked. Common standards will help ensure our students are globally competitive.

Equity: Expectations are consistent for all – and not dependent on a student’s zip code.

Clarity: The standards are focused, coherent, and clear. Clearer standards help students (and parents and teachers) understand what is expected of them.

Collaboration: The standards create a foundation to work collaboratively across states and districts, pooling resources and expertise, to create curricular tools, professional development, common assessments and other materials.

WHAT IS NAEP?

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what America's students know and can do in various subject areas. Assessments are conducted periodically in mathematics, reading, science, writing, the arts, civics, economics, geography, and U.S. history.

Since NAEP assessments are administered uniformly using the same sets of test booklets across the nation, NAEP results serve as a common metric for all states and selected urban districts. The assessment stays essentially the same from year to year, with only carefully documented changes. This permits NAEP to provide a clear picture of student academic progress over time.

COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS EVIDENCE BASE

Evidence was used to guide critical decisions in the following areas: • Inclusion of particular content • Timing of when content should be introduced and the

progression of that content • Ensuring focus and coherence• Organizing and formatting the standards • Determining emphasis on particular topics in standards

Evidence includes:• Standards from high-performing countries, leading states,

and nationally-regarded frameworks• Research on adolescent literacy, text complexity, mathematics

instruction, quantitative literacy • Lists of works consulted and research base included in

standards’ appendices

For example: Standards from individual high-performing countries and provinces were used to inform content, structure,

and language. Writing teams looked for examples of rigor, coherence, and progression.

Page 14: 2010 Arizona English  Language Arts Standards

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

•Currently, every state has its own set of academic standards, meaning public education students in each state are learning to different levels

•All students must be prepared to compete with not only their American peers in the next state, but with students from around the world

14

Page 15: 2010 Arizona English  Language Arts Standards

KEY ADVANCES

Reading• Balance of literature and informational texts• Text complexity

Writing• Emphasis on argument and informative/explanatory

writing• Writing about sources

Speaking and Listening• Inclusion of formal and informal talk

Language• Stress on general academic and domain-specific vocabulary

15

Page 16: 2010 Arizona English  Language Arts Standards

KEY ADVANCES

Standards for reading and writing in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects

• Complement rather than replace content standards in those subjects

• Responsibility of teachers in those subjects

Alignment with college and career readiness expectations

What is NOT Covered by the

2010 Arizona English Language Arts Standards

28

Page 29: 2010 Arizona English  Language Arts Standards

1.The Standards define what all students are expected to know and be able to do, not how teachers should teach.

2.Standards focus on what is most essential, they do not describe all that can or should be taught.

3.The Standards do not define the nature of advanced work for students.

4.The Standards set grade-specific standards but do not define the intervention methods or materials.

5.Standards do not define the full range of supports appropriate for English language learners and for students with special needs.

6.While the ELA and content area literacy components described are critical to college and career readiness, they do not define the whole of such readiness.

Reading: Text Complexity and the Growth of Comprehension

• Equal emphasis is on the sophistication of what students read and the skill with which they read.

• Whatever they are reading, students must also show a steadily growing ability to discern more from and make fuller use of text.

• Standard 10 defines a grade-by grade“staircase” of increasing text complexity.
