Outcomes – Today you will become familiar with:
Why do we need the Common Core Standards?
What are the Common Core Standards? How different are the new standards from
the current California State Standards?
4
What are the Common Core State Standards?
• A national set of standards no longer defined by each state.
• 46 states have adopted the standards
• They are written to prepare students for success in college and/or in the work place.
The Goal of the Standards
Build toward preparing students to be college and career ready in literacy by no later than the end of high school
Provide a vision of what it means to be a literate person in the twenty-first century (creativity, critical thinking and problem solving, communication, collaboration)
Develop the skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening that are foundational for any creative and purposeful expression in language

A New Set of ExpectationsCalifornia has joined a national movement to adopt common standards and assessments for English and mathematics. • Currently, standards for what students should know and be able to do vary among
states, as does the difficulty of the assessments used to determine whether students are meeting those standards.
• Common standards allow for collaboration among states on best practices and professional development.
• Common learning goals provide a clear vision of what educators and parents in all states should aim for. These learning goals help ensure that students meet college and work expectations, and that students are provided rigorous, challenging coursework.
• The standards are clear, consistent and research-based. • Benchmarked against international standards and top-performing countries, the
Common Core Standards also will help students to succeed in a global economy and society

Portrait of a Proficient/Expert Student
They demonstrate independence. They build strong content knowledge. They value evidence. They respond to the varying demands of audience, task,
purpose, and description. They use technology and digital media strategically and
capably. They come to understand other perspectives and
cultures.CCSS Introduction pg. 2

The Timeline for Implementation
Implementation of the Common Core in California’s schools will occur in stages beginning this year, with full implementation scheduled for the 2014-15 school year.
For now, existing state standards still apply, and student progress will continue to be monitored through the California Standards Tests, or CSTs. By 2014-15, however, the goal is to replace the CSTs with assessments that measure student attainment of the Common Core.
Districts in Shasta County have been progressive when it comes to preparing for the new standards. In our districts educators have…..(insert your information…i.e. received training, for instance, in how to write modules, or lesson units that will help students attain the new standards. This school year, teachers will begin to shift some of their instruction practices in anticipation of full implementation by 2014.)

What Makes the Common Core Different?
• More emphasis on use of knowledge• Less worksheets and more doing• All courses are impacted• Greater emphasis on real-- world application‐
• More open-- ended questions‐
• Problem solving that requires student to evaluate and determine best answers/solutions

Instructional Shifts for English and Literacy Building knowledge through non-fiction more than
through fiction, with particular emphasis on history and science. Teachers will rely less upon literature (though it will be taught), and more upon “informational text.”
Reading and writing grounded in evidence from text. Students will learn to read like detectives and write like reporters, citing evidence and factual information.
Regular practice with complex text and its academic vocabulary (such as the unique vocabulary used in the sciences).

Sample SBAC – Grade 7Students are asked to read a “student’s essay” and make revisions.
Which sentence could Jasmine add at the end of paragraph 1 to help develop the situation?
A Our coach always insisted that we arrive at soccer practice on time.
B She told us, however, that being a good sport wasn’t always about playing sports.
C Last year I had played baseball, but this year I had decided to play soccer.
D The beaches in Finvale County are well known for their fine swimming water.
Which sentence could Jasmine add at the end of paragraph 5 to help summarize her essay?
A I also looked forward to the end of September when I would help to clean it up again.
B There are many other beautiful beaches in our county, too.
C Many bags of garbage were filled at Crescent Beach that day.
D We usually play soccer on Saturdays, but one time we did something else.

Constructed response – grade 7 Stimulus Text:
Even on sunny days, the house seemed to sag like a sad, lonely man with drooped shoulders. Just a few flecks of yellow paint were left on it—reminders of a happier time, when children used to play in its yard.
Item Prompt:
These sentences begin the description of a setting. Write a paragraph that develops this description and fits the mood and situation. Use vivid details about sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and/or feelings in your paragraph.

Reading – 10 standards• Key Ideas and Details
“What did the author say?”
• Craft and Structure“How did the author say it?”
• Integration of Knowledge and Ideas“How do I evaluate what the author says and how do I go beyond
it?”
• Range and Level of Text Complexity“How challenging and varied is the text?”
16
How You Can Support Your Child With Text Complexity
• Build Background Knowledge
• Read Aloud to them
• Read Aloud with them
• Ask Questions
How do we help our children so they are ready for the increasing complexity of texts?
Increase their academic vocabulary and build their background knowledge!!
17
What is Background Knowledge?
Background Knowledge is what a student already knows on a topic or subject. The more he or she knows, the better they will understand the new learnings.
18
ActivityBuilding Background Knowledge
If the topic is Animals, how can you build your child’s knowledge of the subject? Where can you take them? What can they read? Is the internet or technology a possibility? What type of media? TV? Videos?
19
The Power of Read Aloud
“Research indicates that reading aloud to children :
• substantially improves their reading, written, oral, and auditory skills
• Increases their positive attitude towards reading Elizabeth Qunell
“Children listen at a higher reading level than they read; thus, children can hear and understand stories that are more complicated and more interesting than anything they could read on their own” (p. 37).
Jim Trelease

ActivityRead Aloud to them
You read to them, they listen Ask questions
who, what, where, when, why, how Connect the reading to their life
Are there examples from the reading that are similar to…?
Explicit vs. inferredWhat did the author say about…?
What clues did the author leave for the reader to figure out?
22
ActivityRead Aloud with them

Wrap Up ActivityWhat are the Common Core Standards?
Circle Map:
• Using the circle map, write down what you have learned today
• In the center, write CCSS (Common Core State Standards)
34
How Parents Can Support CCSS Along with allowing children to select fiction and literature, encourage
reading of informational, non-fiction text.
Engage in discussions about the text.
Encourage children in the early grades to learn their basic math facts. This basic foundation remains necessary before students can build their problem-solving skills.
Encourage your child to stick with it whenever a math problem seems difficult. This will help your child see that everyone can learn math.
Praise your child when he or she makes an effort, and share in the excitement when he or she solves a problem or understands something for the first time.

Written to assume mastery, in any given year, of the preceding year’s standards
Outlined in three distinct sections Standards of mathematical practice Standards for mathematical content for K-8 Standards for mathematical content for 9-12
39
Instructional Shifts in Math Focus: Instruction will focus more intently where the
standards focus. Coherence: Major topics will be linked across grade
levels, so skills are layered upon one another as the student progresses through school.
Rigor: Students will be taught to be fluent in math concepts so that they can achieve deeper levels of understanding, allowing them to apply their learning to real-world scenarios.
