1. Common Core Standards Implementation ELA/Literacy and Mathematics Understand the Change Be the Change How to Change

2. 6-month objectives: ELA Materials: Shift in what students are reading – within existing materials – Reading lists include a balance of literature and informational text Teachers: Shift in student questions – Shift to 80% of questions asked as text-dependent Students: Evidence of close reading – Close encounters with sufficiently complex text demonstrated through writing to inform or argue using evidence from text

3. ShiftChecklist Informational Text/ Building the Knowledge Base  Informational Text  Building the Knowledge Base Staircase of Complexity  Complexity  Range and Quality  Cultivating Students Ability to Read complex Texts Independently  Reading Complex Texts w/ Fluency Text Based Answers/ Analysis  High Quality Text Dependant Questions & Tasks  Academic Discussions Writing from Sources  Practice with Short, Focused Research  Argument and Informational Writing  Using Multimedia & Technology  Grammar and Language Conventions Academic Vocabulary

4. 6-month objectives: Math Materials: Focus – Clear indication of fewer concepts at each grade level represented by curriculum documents, district formative assessments Teachers: Identify focus areas and fluencies of grade level – Shift in time spent on areas of in-depth instruction Students: Demonstrated fluency and understanding – Display fluencies for the grade level and understand focus areas

5. Grade Priorities in Support of Rich Instruction and Expectations of Fluency and Conceptual Understanding K–2 Addition and subtraction, measurement using whole number quantities 3–5 Multiplication and division of whole numbers and fractions 6 Ratios and proportional reasoning; early expressions and equations 7 Ratios and proportional reasoning; arithmetic of rational numbers 8Linear algebra Priorities in Mathematics

6. Math Areas of Priority

7. Mathematical Practices 1.Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2.Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3.Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4.Model with mathematics. 5.Use appropriate tools strategically. 6.Attend to precision. 7.Look for and make use of structure. 8.Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

10. How to Get There MATH Materials – Focus Teachers – Know deep understanding and fluencies Students – Demonstrate fluencies, depth of understanding ELA/Literacy Materials – Literature/Literary Non Fiction Teachers – Identify and Create Text- dependent Questions Students – Demonstration of close encounter with text through writing 1. Shift the practice of teachers, principals, instructional leaders 2.Regularly visit schools 3.Collect evidence of data and revise actions accordingly
