Within the context of the discussion, students listen closely to the comments of others, thinking critically for themselves, and articulate their own thoughts and their responses to the thoughts of others. They learn to work cooperatively and to question intelligently and civilly. - Israel, Elfie. (2002)

78. Shifts in Mathematics www.engageny.org Shift 1FocusTeachers significantly narrow and deepen the scope of how time and energy is spent in the math classroom. They do so in order to focus deeply on only the concepts that are prioritized in the standards. Shift 2CoherencePrincipals and teachers carefully connect the learning within and across grades so that students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previous years. Shift 3FluencyStudents are expected to have speed and accuracy with simple calculations; teachers structure class time and/or homework time for students to memorize, through repetition, core functions. Shift 4Deep Understanding Students deeply understand and can operate easily within a math concept before moving on. They learn more than the trick to get the answer right. They learn the math. Shift 5ApplicationStudents are expected to use math and choose the appropriate concept for application even when they are not prompted to do so. Shift 6Dual IntensityStudents are practicing and understanding. There is more than a balance between these two things in the classroom – both are occurring with intensity.

79. Shifts in ELA/Literacy www.engageny.org Shift 1Balancing Informational & Literary Text Students read a true balance of informational and literary texts. Shift 2Knowledge in the Disciplines Students build knowledge about the world (domains/ content areas) through TEXT rather than the teacher or activities Shift 3Staircase of Complexity Students read the central, grade appropriate text around which instruction is centered. Teachers are patient, create more time and space and support in the curriculum for close reading. Shift 4Text-based Answers Students engage in rich and rigorous evidence based conversations about text. Shift 5Writing from Sources Writing emphasizes use of evidence from sources to inform or make an argument. Shift 6Academic Vocabulary Students constantly build the transferable vocabulary they need to access grade level complex texts. This can be done effectively by spiraling like content in increasingly complex texts.

80. Topic: Common Core Initiative Standards Domain Three Instructional Shifts in ELA/Literacy Three Instructional Shifts in Mathematics 1. Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction 1. Focus strongly where the Standards focus 2. Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational 2. Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics within grades 3. Regular practice with complex text and its academic language. 3. Rigor: In major topics pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application with equal intensity Condensed Instructional Shifts www.achievethecore.org

81. Topic: Common Core Initiative Standards Domain Essential Actions for Leaders http://www.achievethecore.org/leadership-tools-common-core/overview/ 1.Know the shifts: Ensure all stakeholders know and understand the mathematics and ELA/Literacy Shifts 2.Support aligned instructional practice: Ensure school or district tools used to guide instructional practice reflect and prioritize the expectations of rigor and relevance. 3.Focus professional development: Ensure dollars and time spent on professional learning deepen educators’ knowledge of and facility learning. 4.Align materials: When reviewing existing materials or purchasing/developing new materials, ensure instructional resources meet the goals and expectations of rigor and relevance. 5.Align assessments: Ensure school or district interim/benchmark assessments accurately reflect the expectations. 6.Involve the community: Engage parents and community members in the district’s work.

82. Instructional Shifts Activity Instructions Topic: Common Core Initiative Standards Domain 1.Compare and contrast the three shift perspectives (Oregon, New York, Engage Condensed) 2.Discuss implications of the shift topics on current classroom practice 3.Consider the “next steps” that need to be implemented to meet expectations for rigor and relevance 4.Be prepared to share with the group
