September, 2011: The EngageNY team has offered the following guidance regarding LOTE: Languages Other Than English teachers should be aware of the Common Core State Standards and the shifts they represent, and think about how their own instructional practice may change as a result. LOTE teachers should deliver a Common Core aligned unit based on the charge from the Commissioner; however, that unit should be in LOTE (not in ELA or Math) and be aligned to the six shifts and/or Common Core Learning Standards -— but taking into account the level of instruction for the class. Shift 2 in the Six Shifts in ELA/Literacy includes "Building Knowledge in the Disciplines.”

Common Core Standards Adopted by the NYS Board of Regents in January 2011 Result of a joint effort by National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council fo Chief State School Officers Designed to be internationally benchmarked and aligned to work and post secondary expectations (college & career readiness skills)

CCSS adopted by:

CCSS for College and Career Readiness

Instructional shifts for ELA: What are the shifts for LOTE? Text W 50 Text X X X ?

What are the shifts in LOTE? Balance literary/non-fiction texts: using authentic texts (created for the native speakers that provide rich source of current language and culture Close reading - digging into text, inferring, reading between the lines,analyzing vocabulary & structure, etc. Design presentational tasks (speaking or writing) that require students to evaluate, integrate, evaluate evidence gleaned from multiple sources (audio, video, and print media). Design written and oral tasks that require students to advance an argument (persuasion) or explain or shed light on a topic (explanatory)

Why transition to CC? NYSED Mandate LOTE AP and IB Exams are already aligned to CC If we don’t define how Common Core Standards are integrated with LOTE instruction, someone else will!
