1. Progress in Curriculum Alignment with the NH College and Career Ready Standards (NH CCRS)
October 8, 2013

2. Why Are Educational Standards Needed?

3. NH College and Career Ready Standards (NH CCRS)
Three Components: knowledge
skills
work study practices
NH CCRS includes:
English Language Arts/Literacy
Mathematics Arts
Science Early Learning
Social Studies Health
Physical Education Career Development
Technology/Engineering Education
Information and Communication Technologies Literacy

4. Standards Curriculum

5. What are the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)?
A set of research-based K-12 content standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics
46 states have adopted the CCSS
Define what students should know and able to do to prepare them to succeed in college and the workforce
Fewer, clearer, higher

6. How Were the CCSS Developed?
Founding Organizations:
National Governors Association Center for Best Practices
Council of Chief State School Officers (Commissioners)
Development Process:
Teachers
Parents
School Administrators
Colleges
National Education Association
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
National Council of Teachers of English
National Parent Teacher Association
etc.

7. Why Were the CCSS Developed?
Different standards across states
Student mobility
Global competition
Today’s jobs require different skills

8. Key Features of the English Language Arts CCSS
Focus on reading, writing, speaking, listening, language
Emphasis on more informational reading and writing (to inform, persuade, explain)
Skills related to media use are integrated throughout the standards
Text complexity has been raised

9. Standards for English Language Arts Content
Grade Level Domains
K – 8
Literature
Informational Text
Foundational Skills
Writing
Speaking and Listening
Language
6 - 8
Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects
Writing in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects

10. 4th Grade Information Text Standard
Common Core
State Standard
NH Grade Level Expectation
CC.4.R.I.3 Key Ideas and Details: Explain events, procedures, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text, including what happened and why, based on specific information in the text.
NH.4.R.IT.2.1 Analyze and interpret informational text, citing evidence as appropriate by: Connecting information within a text or across texts.
NH.4.R.IT.2.2 Analyze and interpret informational text, citing evidence as appropriate by: Synthesizing information within or across text(s)
NH.4.R.IT.2.5 Analyze and interpret informational text, citing evidence as appropriate by: Making inferences about causes or effects.

11. 8th Grade Speaking & Listening Standard
Common Core
State Standard
NH Grade Level Expectation
NH.8.W.OC.1.2 In oral communication, students demonstrate interactive listening by: Summarizing, paraphrasing, questioning, or contributing to information presented.
NH.9-10.W.OC.1.3 In oral communication, students demonstrate interactive listening by: Identifying the thesis of a presentation, determining the essential elements of elaboration, and interpreting or evaluating the message.
CC.8.SL.3 Comprehension and Collaboration: Delineate a speaker’s argument and specific claims, evaluating the soundness of the reasoning and relevance and sufficiency of the evidence and identifying when irrelevant evidence is introduced.

12. Key Features of the Mathematics CCSS
Mathematical Practice and Content Standards
Combination of procedure and understanding
Mastery of standards through grade 7 prepares students for Algebra in grade 8

13. Standards for Mathematical Content
Grade Level Domains
K – 5
Counting and Cardinality
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Number and Operations in Base Ten
Number and Operations – Fractions
Measurement and Data
Geometry
6-8
Ratios and Proportional Relationships
The Number System
Expressions and Equations
Functions
Statistics and Probability

14. 6th Grade Ratio and Proportional Relationships
Common Core
State Standard
NH Grade Level Expectation
Make tables of equivalent ratios relating quantities
with whole-number measurements, find missing values in the tables, and
plot the pairs of values on
the coordinate plane. Use tables to compare ratios.
CC.6.RP.3a
No direct New Hampshire match.

15. 7th Grade The Number System
Common Core
State Standard
NH Grade Level Expectation
Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers. (Computations with rational
numbers extend the rules for manipulating fractions to
complex fractions.) CC.7.NS.3
NH.8.N&O.4 Accurately solves problems involving proportional reasoning (percent increase or decrease, interest rates, markups, or rates); multiplication or division of integers; and squares, cubes, and taking square or cube roots.
NH.7.N&O.4L Accurately solves problems involving the addition or subtraction of integers, raising numbers to whole number powers, and determining square roots of perfect square numbers and non-perfect square numbers.
NH.6.N&O.4 Accurately solves problems involving single or multiple operations on fractions (proper, improper, and mixed), or decimals; and addition or subtraction of integers; percent of a whole; or problems involving greatest common factor or least common multiple.

16. Hampstead’s Curriculum Alignment Goals 2013-14
Complete the development of NH CCRS Mathematics Units
Begin the development of NH CCRS English Language Arts Units
