College and Career Ready Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics ELA includes literacy standards for social science, technical subjects, and science Common Core Standards – What?

Based on evidence and research Focused and coherent to allow for in-depth learning Cumulative progression of skills and understandings Rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills Incorporate standards of excellence found in high achieving countries GOAL: All students college and career-ready The Common Core State Standards

Support increased credit requirements 4 years English language arts, 3 years of math Essential Skills embedded within the CCSS Reflect the Personalized Learning Requirements How do CCSS support the diploma?

Common Core Standards – Why? Standards are the same wherever you go – smoother educational transition for students from district to district Build on what works – CCSS is supported by best practices and programs already in our schools Data teamsOregon Literacy Framework RTIPBIS Proficiency-based Teaching & Learning

Common Core Standards – Why? Instructional planning will be easier and more efficient – Creating and sharing lessons, strategies and assessments within grade levels, schools, and districts easier for teachers – allow them to focus on high quality instruction We all want students to leave school prepared to be successful in whatever they do next.

Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects – Explain how a simple machine works (science) – Compare/contrast world events (social studies) – Justify a solution to a problem (mathematics) – Academic vocabulary in all subjects Read and understand more challenging texts Emphasize the use of materials to be read for information English Language Arts – Key Ideas

ELA– Instructional Shifts Increase Reading of Informational Text Literacy Instruction in all Content Areas Text Complexity Text-based Answers Increase Writing from Sources Academic Vocabulary

Standards for Mathematical Content – K-8 standards by grade level – High school standards by conceptual theme Content focus at each grade allows in-depth study Balanced combination of procedural skill and understanding – Requires students to “explain” and “justify” rather than “define” and “identify” Standards for Mathematical Practice Mathematics– Key Ideas

Kindergarten – Grade 5 – Establishes foundation of using and understanding whole numbers, fractions, and decimals Grades 6-8 – Preparation for geometry, algebra, and probability and statistics High School – Emphasis on applying math to solve problems arising in every day life, society, and the workplace Mathematics – Focus Areas

Mathematics– Instructional Shifts Focus Coherence Procedural Fluency Deep Conceptual Understanding Applications (Modeling) Balanced Emphasis

Districts Transition Content: Full Implementation: by Spring 2014 Statewide Assessment: Spring 2015 Common Core Standards – When?
