Before we dig in…some formative information gathering (polleverywhere.com) What is your role?
How prepared are you?
How familiar are you with the following resources available to consider quality of instructional materials for ELA and Math? CCSS Publisher’s Criteria for English Language Arts and/or
Mathematics EQuip Rubrics (from Achieve, Inc) for evaluating lessons

Know them – both the what and the why
Internalize them
Apply them to decisions about Time Energy Resources Conversations with parents, students, colleagues, partners
This effort is about much more than implementing the next version of the standards. It is about
preparing all students for college and careers.
The Middle Grades!

CCSS_ELA_WebinarPt3_Middle_Grades_3.25.14
how word choice contributes to meaning and tone (RL.8.4)
be able to cite textual evidence
(RL.8.1)
support the assertions (arguments) they make in writing (W.8.1, W.8.9)
Grade 8: compare and contrast the structure of two or more texts and
analyze how the different structure of each text contributes to its meaning
and style (RL.8.5).
14
CCSS_ELA_WebinarPt3_Middle_Grades_3.25.14
Three Shifts in English Language Arts
• Building content knowledge through content-rich nonfiction
• Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational
• Regular practice with complex text and its academic language
15
CCSS_ELA_WebinarPt3_Middle_Grades_3.25.14
Shift One: Building content knowledge through content-rich nonfiction
•Provides an ideal context for building language, vocabulary, knowledge, and reasoning
•Is challenging, complex, and has deep comprehension-building potential
•Is an opportunity for students to learn how to engage, interact, and have “conversations” with the text in ways that prepare them for the type of experiences they will encounter in college and careers.

CCSS_ELA_WebinarPt3_Middle_Grades_3.25.14
Shift Three (yes, we skipped 2 on purpose):
Regular practice with complex text and its academic language
Careful, targeted scaffolding of text complexity
Focus on appropriately rigorous texts
Strategic teaching of Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary with authentic application of new words and terms
18
Text Complexity Model: the right text at the right time for the right
reason

What’s the level?
What will kids
need to understand and make this textrelevant
andlasting?
CCSS_ELA_WebinarPt3_Middle_Grades_3.25.14
Shift Two: Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational
Moving from “how do you feel about what you just read? Do you like it?”
to
“Identify three examples that let you know what the author’s purpose is. Do you agree with the author?”
23
Practice with Academic Discourse is Key
CCSS_ELA_WebinarPt3_Middle_Grades_3.25.14
24
Speaking and Listening: Questions, Arguments, Oral Processing, Discussion, Seminar, Speech
(model, scaffold, practice, and build skills in academic and social conversation, listening, and collaborating)
Technology integration in harmony with physical writing (Why are we using this technology?)
Revising and re-reading– grit and perseverance practice
Growing into adult learners: are my students giving me enough information to help them learn? Will they be able to transfer to independence?
CCSS_ELA_WebinarPt3_Middle_Grades_3.25.14
Questions for Educators and Teams!
How does this task/learning build on prior knowledge from earlier grades and support later concepts?
How does this task provide access for ALL students?
What do we do to support students reading below or above this level?
What do we do to support students who disengage (and … why are they disengaged?)25
26
Scaffolding your instruction for all: a basic continuum
CCSS_ELA_WebinarPt3_Middle_Grades_3.25.14
Read Aloud/Think Aloud & Modeled Writing
Shared Reading & Writing Guided Reading & Writing Independent Reading & Writing
What do your students know?What can your students do?How do you know?? What do you need?
CCSS_ELA_WebinarPt3_Middle_Grades_3.25.14
These standards are directed toward fostering students’ understanding and working knowledge of concepts of print, the alphabetic principle, and other basic conventions of the English writing system. These foundational skills are not an end in and of themselves; rather, they are necessary and important components of an effective, comprehensive reading program designed to develop proficient readers with the capacity to comprehend texts across a range of types and disciplines. Instruction should be differentiated: good readers will need much less practice with these concepts than struggling readers will. The point is to teach students what they need to learn and not what they already know—to discern when particular children or activities warrant more or less attention.

Considering Instructional Materials
30
Rethinking Instructional Materials and Resources
CCSS_ELA_WebinarPt3_Middle_Grades_3.25.14
What do we mean when we talk about “instructional materials”?
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS
K-12 Core
Curricula
Supplemental resources
Individual lessons and plans
District-created materials/resour
ces
Teacher-created materials
Full courses
Purchased and/or “open education
resources”
Formally adopted or
not

The “How”, continued…
Reflect again now on what you will be able to observe (see, hear) when you have successfully implemented Common Core State Standards in your schools and districts.
Teacher Practices?Student Work?Instructional Materials?
CCSS_ELA_WebinarPt3_Middle_Grades_3.25.14
33
Publishers’ Criteria: Possible Uses
Informing purchases and adoptions
Working with previously purchased materials
Reviewing teacher-developed materials and guiding their development
As a tool for professional development
What States, Districts and Teachers Can Do
Ensure that instructional resource purchasing criteria and decisions are aligned to the Standards.
Use the Publishers’ Criteria to review existing materials and adjust to improve alignment (remove or supplement).
Use the Publishers’ Criteria to support teachers in developing materials and ensure that teacher-developed resources are aligned.
Share the Publishers’ Criteria with teachers and use it to support teacher understanding of the standards.
Use Cases
CCSS_ELA_WebinarPt3_Middle_Grades_3.25.14
34
What is the Toolkit? An Overview
Purpose: • To catalyze the impact that the CCSS can have on
student achievement by building and applying a common vision of CCSS aligned, high quality instructional and assessment materials
What it is: • Collaboration between Achieve, CCSSO and Student
Achievement Partners• A resource that brings together a set of interrelated,
freely available tools for evaluating instructional and assessment materials for alignment to CCSS
• Support for the evaluation of comprehensive textbook or textbook series, units, lessons, grade or course-level assessments, item banks, and individual assessment items and can be applied to both print and digital materials
CCSS_ELA_WebinarPt3_Middle_Grades_3.25.14
35
Key Design Features
• The Publishers’ Criteria were developed from the perspective that publishers and purchasers are equally responsible for ensuring high quality instructional materials.
• They do not define, endorse or prescribe curriculum; those decisions are, and should be, local within each state or district.
• All tools provided directly support the expectations of the CCSS and are derived from or closely aligned with the guidelines provided in the Publishers’ Criteria for mathematics and English language arts/literacy
• Included tools do not address all factors that may be important in determining whether instructional materials and assessments are appropriate in a given local or state context but instead aim to clearly articulate the criteria for alignment to the CCSS

National Advisory Panel (NAP)
• 11-20 experts• Begins December 2012• Provides policies and
criteria for resources
State Leadership Team (SLT)• 10-14 WA members• Provides support and
training for State Network of Educators
• Promote statewide communications
State Network of Educators (SNE)• 85 WA Members (1,500+
nationally)• Representation from
LEAs, AEAs, content leaders, ELL, IHE
• Serve Summer 2013 – Late Fall 2014
• Submit and review resources
Page 52
Digital Library Basics, 2-26-14
Digital Library BasicsOne Stop:
• The Digital Library will be accessed through a single sign-on with user permission levels so educators have access to all of the instructional and professional learning resources for each grade band (Grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12). There will be resources that educators can share or use with students and families, but students and families will not be able to access materials directly.
– It WILL NOT be a “bank” of formative assessment items alone. All resources will have the formative assessment process embedded within them.
• All submitted materials will be vetted through a Quality Criteria Review Process by SNEs across the nation. • Each resource will be reviewed and rated by at least 3 SNEs• If they do not meet the quality criteria, resources will not be included in the library
• Functionality
• Educators will be able to view and download resources• The applications uses state-of-the art tagging and search features so that educators will
be able to quickly find resources by CCSS, formative assessment process attributes, etc.• Educators will be able to rate resources• Educators will be able to use social networking features to collaborate with other
educators across the Consortium by posting questions and sharing their knowledge.
