COMMON COREWhat it is and how we can use it
![Page 4: Not so overwhelming: Incorporating Common Core standards and designing W1/W2 performance tasks](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051515/551c3b6b5503467b488b4850/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Purpose of CCSS (their mission)•The Common Core State Standards provide a
consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.

CCSS: Key Points in Language Arts•Reading
▫“staircase” of increasing complexity▫progressive development of reading comprehension▫ diverse array of classic and contemporary literature▫challenging informational texts
•Writing▫write logical arguments based on substantive
claims, sound reasoning, and relevant evidence▫short, focused projects▫longer term, in-depth research
![Page 6: Not so overwhelming: Incorporating Common Core standards and designing W1/W2 performance tasks](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051515/551c3b6b5503467b488b4850/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Key Points in Language Arts• Speaking and listening
▫ gain, evaluate, and present increasingly complex information, ideas, and evidence through listening and speaking as well as through media
▫one-on-one and whole-class settings• Language
▫grow their vocabularies through a mix of conversations, direct instruction, and reading
▫use formal English [or WL] in their writing• Media and Technology
▫ integrated throughout the standards
![Page 7: Not so overwhelming: Incorporating Common Core standards and designing W1/W2 performance tasks](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051515/551c3b6b5503467b488b4850/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What does this mean for WL?
•Nothing on CCSS’ website•Few resources; only ACTFL says:
▫simple to complex usage▫ultimate goal is academic, formal language
usage▫Main idea:

Common Core vs. National Standards
Common Core StateStandards for EnglishLanguage Arts and
Literacy(Anchor Standards)• Reading• Writing• Speaking and Listening• Language
National Standards for Learning Languages• Three Modes of
Communication▫ Interpersonal▫ Interpretive▫ Presentational
• ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines▫ Novice▫ Intermediate▫ Advanced
![Page 9: Not so overwhelming: Incorporating Common Core standards and designing W1/W2 performance tasks](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051515/551c3b6b5503467b488b4850/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Basic Alignment: 3 modes + anchor standards

Translating proficiency/grade levels
ACTFL proficiency levels• Novice-Low/Mid• Novice-High• Intermediate-Low• Intermediate-Mid• Intermediate-High +• Advanced levels
CCSS grade level equivalents

Identifying target proficiency levels: middle school (alphabetic & logographic)
![Page 12: Not so overwhelming: Incorporating Common Core standards and designing W1/W2 performance tasks](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051515/551c3b6b5503467b488b4850/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Identifying target proficiency levels: high school (alphabetic languages)
![Page 13: Not so overwhelming: Incorporating Common Core standards and designing W1/W2 performance tasks](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051515/551c3b6b5503467b488b4850/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Identifying target proficiency levels: high school (logographic languages)
![Page 14: Not so overwhelming: Incorporating Common Core standards and designing W1/W2 performance tasks](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051515/551c3b6b5503467b488b4850/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Strategies• Start small: add one CCSS
standard to each lesson plan.• Don’t worry about the a,b,c
standards at first.• Increase CCSS integration into
lessons over time.• Don’t overload the lesson with
CCSS or National Standards; maintain focus on the primary communication objective for your lesson.
• Don’t fret over whether a standard matches your objective exactly in its wording (this drove me crazy at first!).
Don’t let this be you. You’re already doing your job wonderfully! No crazy changes from the top will change that. Keep doing what you do.

Group work or alone: performance task(s)• Steps for completing each performance task:
1. Identify I-CAN statement and/or objective.-What can the student do at the end of this task?
2. Identify target proficiency level.3. Incorporate 1 or 2 North Carolina state standards.4. Incorporate 1 or 2 Common Core state standards (no
a,b,c details unless you’re feeling ambitious). Consider CCRs (Career Readiness Standards) for upper levels.
5. Write basic outline, from tricycle to motorcycle.6. At home, continue to develop each level of the task,
adding standards as you go.7. Post your completed task on the Wiki (please!!).
