Key Foundations
The Common Core State Standards are written using the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy.
Next year (2012-2013) all public schools in NC will transition from Standard Course of Study to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy
Provides the framework used for all NC Essential Standards.
Common language for ALL curriculum areas.The six categories were changed in 2001 from a
noun to verb.Focus is on more of a product to show learning. The revision provides a clear & concise
representation of the alignment between standards & educational goals.

OVERVIEW OF THE ELA COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS
Participants will gain an understanding of the design and organization of the CCSS
document.
DesignThere are four strands:
• Reading + Reading Foundational Skills K-5
• Writing• Speaking and Listening• Language
The ELA Common Core supports an integrated model of literacy.
There are media requirements blended throughout.
Reading Foundational SkillsGrades K-5
• Print concepts (K−1)
• Phonological awareness (K−1)
• Phonics and word recognition (K−5)
• Fluency (K−5)
College and Career Readiness (CCR) Anchor Standards
The CCR Anchor Standards:
• Have broad expectations consistent across grades and content areas.
• Are based on evidenceabout college and workforce training expectations.
• Expect instruction to cover a broad range of increasingly challenging text.
Intentional Design Limitations
The Standards do NOT define:
• How teachers should teach.• All that can or should be taught.• The nature of advanced work beyond the core.• The interventions needed for students well below
grade level.• The full range of support for English Language
Learners and students with special needs.• Everything needed to be college and career ready.
The scope and sequence of literature allows for a literary experience that carries not only a global perspective but an opportunity to view U.S. literature and literary nonfiction within a global lens.
High School Literature
The literature selections provide a vehicle by which to teach the CCSS standards and ensure that students will have a rich and diverse understanding of literature by the end of their senior year.
Design Considerations
The Standards use individual grade levels in kindergarten through Grade 8 to provide useful specificity; the Standards use two-year bands in grades 9-12 to allow schools, districts, and states flexibility in high school course design.
