Power Up for the Common Core

with INFOhioA Common Core Overview

Overview of the Overview

• 48 slides covering basic information about the Common Core Standards

• Slides 3-5—General introduction• Slides 6-10—Rationale for the CC• Slides 11-21—English Language Arts• Slides 22-29—Literacy Standards• Slides 30-38--Mathematics• Slide 39—State Implementation Timeline• Slide 40-46--Assessment

How to use these slides

• If you want a quick overview so you have a basic understanding of the CC

• If you want to understand terms that are being used by librarians/teachers you are working with.

• But if you need to do a presentation on the CC and don’t feel comfortable, call an ICoach.

If all you have is a hammer…

…everything looks like a nail.

But a full set of tools…

…will help you manage the Common Core

Provide learning progressions across grades Coherence

Are supported by model curricula (Rigor & Relevance)

Show a reduction in the amount of content to:

•Be more manageable (Clarity

•Promote greater depth of learning Focus

Bloom’s and Rigor

“Rigor refers to academic rigor — learning in which students demonstrate a thorough, in-depth mastery of challenging tasks to develop cognitive skills through reflective thought, analysis, problem-solving, evaluation, or creativity.”

Daggett, W., Rigor/Relevance Framework, International Center for Leadership in Education

Organization of the Literacy Standards

The Literacy Standards are organized into three main sections

Reading Standards for Literacy in

History/Social Studies

Reading Standards for Science and Technical

Subjects

Writing Standards for Literacy in

History/Social Studies, Science and Technical

Subjects

Page 61 Page 62 Pages 64-66

Barnhart, Marcia, INFOhio Common Core ELA and Literacy Standards webinar, 2-12-12.

Grade-specific standards distinctly identify what students should learn in each grade band.

Grade-specific standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies grades 6-12


Grade-specific standards for Literacy in Science and Technical Subjects 6-12

Same concept as History/SS--different skills


Unlike the Reading Standards, there is no division within the subjects.

Key Advances of the Common Core in ELA/Literacy

ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS/LITERACY

Balance of literature and informational texts; focus on text complexity

Emphasis on argument, informative/ explanatory writing, and research

Literacy standards for history, science and technical subjects

ANCHORED IN COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS

From Embracing the Common Core, Helping Students Thrive, ACHIEVE presentation. 2-15-12

1. Make close reading of texts central to lesson

2. Structure majority of instruction so all students read grade-level complex texts

3. Emphasize informational texts from early grades on

4. Provide scaffolding that does not preempt or replace text

5. Ask text-dependent questions

Ten Guiding PrinciplesTen Guiding Principles


6. Provide extensive research and writing opportunities (claims and evidence)

7. Offer regular opportunities for students to share ideas, evidence and research

8. Offer systematic instruction in vocabulary9. Provide explicit instruction in grammar

and conventions10. Cultivate students’ independence

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.

8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.


Key Advances of the Common Core in Mathematics

MATHEMATICS

Focus, coherence and clarity: emphasis on key topics at each grade level and coherent progression across grades

Balance between procedural fluency and conceptual understanding

Promote rigor through mathematical practices that foster reasoning and application across discipline

Non-Text Dependent vs. Text Dependent Questions

Examples from a lesson on Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address

Non-Text Dependent Questions Text Dependent Questions

Have you ever been to a funeral?What does Lincoln mean by “four score and seven years ago”? Who are “our fathers”? (L.9-10.3; RI.9-10.1; RI.9-10.4)

Why did the North fight the South in the Civil War?

Beyond what students may or may not know about the Declaration of Independence, what does Lincoln tell us in this first sentence about what happened 87 years ago? What is the impact of Lincoln referring to such a famous date? (RI.9-10.1; RI.9-10.3; RI.9-10.6; RI.9-10.9)

Lincoln says that the nation is dedicated to the proposition that “all men are created equal.” Why is equality an important value to promote?

How does Lincoln use the idea of “unfinished work” to assign responsibility to his listeners? (RI.9-10.1; RI.9-10.5; RI.9-10.9)
