1. BELL-RINGER: What does CCSS stand for? What does PARCC stand for? What is the Teacher Toolbox?

2. SWIMMING THROUGH THE COMMON CORE 2013-2014 SCHOOL YEAR

3. OBJECTIVES: I will be able to locate and unpack CCSS resources. I will be able to develop a plan of implementation of the CCSS in my classroom.

4. WHAT IS COMMON CORE? CCSS are a consistent and clear understanding of what students are to learn. 45 states have adopted these new standards. All students are now on the same level playing field.

5. WHAT CONTENT AREAS ARE EFFECTED? Math and ELA will follow the CCSS. Science and Social Studies will incorporate certain CCSS into their existing curriculum. http://www.corest andards.org/ You can fish for the standards here:

8. READING THE STANDARDS: ELA An ELA CCSS had three parts Strand CodeGrade LevelStandard # RI36 RF for Kindergartner: 1. Demonstrate understanding of the organization and basic features of print. a.Follow words from left to right, top to bottom, and page by page. b.Recognize that spoken words are represented in written language by specific sequences of letters. c.Understand that words are separated by spaces in print. d.Recognize and name all upper- and lowercase letters of the alphabet. Abbreviated Standard RI.3.6 Abbreviated Standard RF.K.1.A

9. READING THE STANDARDS: MATH Code Abbreviations Common Strand Codes OAOperations and Algebraic Thinking NBTNumbers and Operations in Base Ten MDMeasurement and Data GGeometry NFNumbers and Operations- Fractions EEExpressions and Equations NSNumber Systems SPStatistics and Probability RPRatios and Proportional Relationships

10. READING THE STANDARDS: MATH Abbreviated Standard 7.NS.A.3 A Math CCSS has four parts Grade LevelDomainClusterStandard 7NSA3 Domain Cluster The Number System 7.NS Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers. 1.Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram. a.Describe situations in which opposite quantities combine to make 0. For example, a hydrogen atom has 0 charge because its two constituents are oppositely charged. 2. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers. a.Understand that multiplication is extended from fractions to rational numbers by requiring that operations continue to satisfy the properties of operations, particularly the distributive property, leading to products such as (–1)(–1) = 1 and the rules for multiplying signed numbers. Interpret products of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts. 3. 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.

12. READING AND WRITING THE STANDARDS Now let’s try this on our own! Use the worksheet provided to help you read and write the standards. Open the link for the ELA CCSS and complete the chart. CCSS Code Strand Name Grade Level Text of the Standard RI.3.6 RF.5.4a SL.1.2 L.7.2b W.9- 10.10

13. CCSS MAIN FOCUS The Math and ELA standards are focusing on rigorous shifts. ELA shifts: Building knowledge through content rich nonfiction Evidence from text Complex Text and Academic Language Math shifts: Focus skills and standards Coherence-think and link Rigor-conceptual understanding and fluency Application
