Goals
4
Common Core: What We Know
Two Stars and a Wish
Record two things you already know about CC
Record one thing you would like to know about CC
5
Common Core Overview Prepares students with the knowledge and
skills they need to succeed in college and work
Ensures consistent expectations regardless of a student’s zip code
Provides educators, parents, and students
with clear, focused guideposts
Offers economies of scale
7
Common Core OrganizationEnglish Language Arts Strands

English Language ArtsNew Emphasis
Reading Balance of literature and informational texts Text complexity
Writing Emphasis on argument and
informative/explanatory writing Writing about sources

English Language ArtsNew Emphasis
Speaking and Listening Comprehension and collaboration Inclusion of formal and informal talk
Language Stress on general academic and domain-specific
vocabulary

Design and Organization
Four sets of College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards:
Reading (Page 10)
Writing (Page 18)
Speaking and Listening (Page 22)
Language (Page 25)

Anchor Standards
Grade level standards derive from the Anchor Standards.

Common Core OrganizationMathematics
Standards for Mathematical Practice
Standards for Mathematical Content
16
Common Core OrganizationStandards for Mathematical Practice
Carry across all grade levels
Describe habits of mind of a mathematically competent student
17
Common Core OrganizationStandards for Mathematical Content
Presented by grade level, K-8
Organized into domains progressing over several grades
Introduced at each grade level by 2–4 focal points (i.e., instructional emphasis)
Presented by conceptual themes at high school
Describe varieties of expertise that should be developed in students
Rely upon longstanding important processes and proficiencies
Articulate the behaviors of truly mathematically competent citizens
18
Standards for Mathematical Practice
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
19
Standards for Mathematical Practice
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Design and Organization Content standards define what students should
understand and be able to do
Clusters are groups of related standards
Domains are larger groups that progress across grades

Grade 4 Overview (1 page)
Provides in depth explanation for the grade level
25
Key Advances from Current PA Standards
Focus and coherence Focus on key topics at each grade level. Coherent progressions across grade levels.
Balance of concepts and skills Content standards require both conceptual
understanding and procedural fluency.Mathematical practices
Foster reasoning and sense-making in mathematics.College and career readiness
Level is ambitious but achievable.

26
Key Changes from Current PA Standards
Focuses in early grades on number (arithmetic and operations) to build a solid foundation in math
Evens out pace across the grades
Focuses on using math and solving complex problems in high school math - the real world emphasis
Stresses problem-solving and communicationhttp://www.corestandards.org/about-the-standards/key-points-in-mathematics
PDE does not plan to adjust the eligible content or design of the Pennsylvania System of School
Assessment (PSSA) before the July 1, 2013 effective date for Common Core.
