Thomas Fordham Institute GPS and CCSS in 2010
Georgia (GPS): Grade B+ CCSS: Grade B+
Clarity and Specificity: 2/3 Clarity & Specificity: 2/3
Content and Rigor: 6/7 Content & Rigor: 6/7
Total GPS score: 8/10 Total CCSS score: 8/10
Georgia is one of 5 states receiving a score of B+.
Only six scored better: California, District of Columbia, and Indiana: A; Massachusetts, Texas, and Tennessee: A-.
According to the Fordham Report, Georgia is one of 11 states considered to be in the same league as Common Core. Louisiana, Colorado, Virginia, and Oklahoma also scored a B+.

What about the alignment of CCSS with GPS?
• The Achieve Online Comparison Tool was used in June of 2010 to create an alignment of CCSS to GPS. However, this process did not include alignment of repetitive standards across grade levels as well as alignment of each standard in each high school course. Nevertheless, the alignment tool reported an alignment percentage of 81%.
5
What does Alignment really mean?
• Alignment is an approximate term used lightly to show a match or comparison.
• Some GPS standards/elements align or match perfectly in all aspects of comparison to CCGPS.
• Some GPS standards/elements align or match creatively in all aspects of comparison with CCGPS.
10
Alignment continued…
• Sometimes, alignment occurs when a Common Core standard matches a GPS standard at a different grade level.
• This grade level shift may be above the current GPS level or below it.
• The alignment may occur across different domains.

What are the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts
and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical
Subjects?
8
Common Core State Standards inEnglish Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies,
Science, and Technical Subjects
College and Career Readiness (CCR) Standards
Overarching standards for each strand that are further defined by grade-specific standards
Grade-Level Standards in English Language Arts (CCGPS)
K-8, grade-by-grade
9-10 and 11-12 grade bands for high school
Four strands: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language
Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects
Standards are embedded at grades K-5
Content-specific literacy standards are provided for grades 6-8, 9-10, and 11-12
9
College and Career Readiness Standards and Common Core State Standards
• The College and Career Readiness Standards were written first.
• These standards are the “goals” or “indicators” for true college and career readiness once a student graduates high school.
• Each Common Core State Standard is aligned to a college and career readiness standard.
10
College and Career Readiness (CCR) Anchor
Standards11
College and Career Readiness Standards
(CCR)
These standards “anchor” the document and define general, cross-disciplinary
literacy expectations that must be met for students to be prepared to enter
college and workforce training programs ready to succeed.
12
The CCR is the ANCHOR for ELA CCGPS
There are 32 CCR Standards:10 in Reading
10 in Writing
6 in Speaking and Listening
6 in Language
13
CCR Anchor Example for Reading
CCRReading Standard #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.
CCGPSReading Standard #1
(Kindergarten- Lit.) With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text.
(7th grade Lit.) Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.

Common Core
STATE STANDARDS INITIATIVEPREPARING AMERICA’S STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE AND CAREER
These K-12 grade-specific standards define end-of-year expectations and a cumulative
progression designed to enable students to meet college and career readiness
expectations no later than the end of high school.

Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts
20
CCGPS(There are four strands in ELA.)
Reading> 9 standards (lit.)
10 standards (inf.)
Writing> 10 standards
Speaking & Listening> 6 standards
Language> 6 standards
Key Features of the ELA Standards
• Reading: Text Complexity and the growth of comprehension
• Writing: Text Types, responding to reading, and research
• Speaking and Listening: Flexible communication and collaboration
• Language: Conventions, effective use, and vocabulary
17
Who is responsible for which portion of the Standards?
• A single K-5 section lists standards for reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language across the curriculum, reflecting the fact that most or all of the instruction students in these grades receive comes from one teacher.
• Grades 6-12 are covered in two content area-specific sections, the first for the ELA teacher and the second for teachers of history/social studies, science, and technical subjects.

ELA’s 15%
• November & December: Teachers provided feedback regarding the 15%.
• January: ELA Advisory Council met and studied the feedback.
• February: ELA Precision Review Team met and recommended the additions.
• March: ELA Precision Review Team and ELA Advisory Council met to begin resource work.
20
What are the additions from GPS?
1. Kindergarten: No additions
2. 1st Grade: Writing and Language
3. 2nd Grade: Writing and Language
4. 3rd grade: Language
5. 4th grade: Language
6. 5th through 8th : No additions
7. 9-10th and 11-12th / Language
21
How are we preparing for CCGPS implementation?
• State English Language Arts team drafted initial alignment documents for each grade level; webinars and face-to-face sessions focused on the alignment; educators across the state submitted feedback regarding the alignment.
• The ELA Advisory Council sorted through the feedback as well as new alignment drafts and provided recommendations on alignment.
• Precision Review Teams were convened to review the feedback and make recommendations regarding alignment issues as well as additions to CCGPS from GPS.
• The recommendations of the ELA Precision Review Team were vetted with the ELA Advisory Council.
• The ELA Advisory Council and Precision Review Team convened to begin work on teacher guidance.
• ELA’s proposed additions will be presented to GADOE leadership.
• Professional learning and development of resources will be the number one focus for 2011-12., with an implementation year of 2012-13.
