  2. Before we begin…About You CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013 We’d like to know a little about who is out there. Time for a poll.

  3. Welcome and Materials… Agenda: Current big picture of CCSS– where we are CCSS ELA: digging into the shift to evidence in Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening, and Language A little about the assessment landscape Materials: Publishers Criteria 3-12, with highlights CCSS Categories 2-pager Tri-State ELA Rubric CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013

  4. OSPI CCSS Quarterly Webinar Series http://www.k12.wa.us/CoreStandards/UpdatesEvents.aspx#Webinar CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013

  5. State Context: March 2013 CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013 • McCleary Decision and Implications – Legislative obligation to fully fund Basic Education • New Flexibility with ESEA Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Requirements effective in 2012-13 • WA Teacher and Principal Evaluation Project • New criteria for all districts starting with 2013-14 year • Statewide implementation of CCSS and assessment system transitions

  6. WA CCSS Implementation Timeline CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013

  7. Washington State Learning Standards (aka…EALRs, GLEs, etc.) CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013

  8. Vision Every Washington Student and Educator Core Values Purpose Career and college ready learning expectations for K-12 All students leave high school college and career ready Our Vision:Every student will have access to the CCSS standards through high quality instruction aligned with the standards every day; and every educator is prepared and supported to implement the standards in their classrooms every day. Our Purpose: To develop a statewide system with resources that supports all school districts in their preparation of educators and students to implement the CCSS. 8 CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013

  9. Theory of Practice for CCSS Implementation in WA CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013 2-Prongs: • The What: Content Shifts (for students and educators) • Belief that past standards implementation efforts have provided a strong foundation on which to build for CCSS; HOWEVER there are shifts that need to be attended to in the content. • The How: System “Remodeling” • Belief that successful CCSS implementation will not take place top down or bottom up – it must be “both, and…” • Belief that districts across the state have the conditions and commitment present to engage wholly in this work. • Professional learning systems are critical

  10. how word choice contributes to meaning and tone (RL.8.4) be able to cite textual evidence (RL.8.1) Grade 8: compare and contrast the structure of two or more texts and analyze how the different structure of each text contributes to its meaning and style (RL.8.5). support the assertions (arguments) they make in writing (W.8.1, W.8.9) CCSS English Language Arts: the big shift to comprehensive literacy CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013

  11. Three Shifts in English Language Arts • Building content knowledge through content-rich nonfiction • Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational • Regular practice with complex text and its academic language CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013

  12.

Questionsandtasksrequire theuseof textualevidence,includingsupportingvalidinferences from the text.

  13. The what K-5: a balance of text CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013

  14. The what6-12: a re-balancing of writing types,modes, genres, modes, products CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013

  15. What is “rigorous and complex?” Best measured by an attentive human reader Best made by educators employing their professional judgment CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013 Best measured by computer software

  16. Complex Text Children at the kindergarten and grade 1 levels should be expected to read texts independently that have been specifically written to correlate to their reading level and their word knowledge. Many of the titles listed above are meant to supplement carefully structured independent reading with books to read along with a teacher or that are read aloud to students to build knowledge and cultivate a joy in reading. CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013

  17. What’s In and What’s Out CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013

  18. But… what does this look like in my classroom? Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013

  19. Part of the shift:Considering Different Points of View What is the author saying? What is the author’s position/beliefs? WHY is the author writing /saying this? What can students learn by considering multiple points of view? What listening strategies d can we use to understand other points of view?

  20. Part of the shift: Attending to Audience • How much to elaborate based on what they anticipate readers know • How much to tailor the development of claims • How much to care, since writers’ concerns are bigger when audience matters • How to accommodate audiences if writers don't identify with them • Reading & Listening: identify the audience • Writing, Language, Speaking: revise for the audience

  21. Teaching strategy: Text-dependent questions CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013 Questions that can only be answered with evidence from the text Can be literal but can also involve analysis, synthesis, evaluation Focus on word, sentence, and paragraph as well as larger ideas, themes, or events Focus on difficult portions of text in order to enhance reading proficiency

  22. The standards in action: What makes Casey’s experiences at bat humorous? What can you infer from King’s letter about the letter that he received? “The Gettysburg Address” mentions the year 1776. According to Lincoln’s speech, why is this year significant to the events described in the speech? • In “Casey at the Bat,” Casey strikes out. Describe a time when you failed at something. 2. In “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” Dr. King discusses nonviolent protest. Discuss, in writing, a time when you wanted to fight against something that you felt was unfair. 3. In “The Gettysburg Address” Lincoln says the nation is dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Why is equality an important value to promote? CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013

  23. MIGRATION? VOLUNTARY? What do we learn from this “case study”? What information does it support? CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013

  24. How can we support these shifts? CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013 Think critically about what instructional materials and texts we are using… … why we are using them (one purpose? Multiple purposes? Support? New learning?) … re-vision how we are using texts in classrooms… Materials, collaboration time, planning time, strategies to differentiate instruction, support around reading and writing for all learners… other considerations?

  25. A Look at Assessment CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013

  26. Smarter Balanced Assessment SystemComponents Summative assessments Benchmarked to college and career readiness Teachers and schools have information and tools they need to improve teaching and learning Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations for college and career readiness All students leave high school college and career ready Teacher resources for formative assessment practices to improve instruction Interim assessments Flexible, open, used for actionable feedback CCSS ELA webinar 3-14-2013

You can refer back to any of the sources as often as you like (article 1) (article 2) (article 3) Questions Use your remaining time to answer the questions below. Your answers to these questions will be scored. Also, they will help you think about the sources you’ve read and viewed, which should help you write your presentation. You may click on the appropriate buttons to refer back to the sources when you think it would be helpful. You may also refer to your notes. Answer the questions in the spaces provided below them. 1) Of the three source articles, which article most clearly appeals to the reader’s emotions? Support your answer with details from the article you choose. 2) Which source provides the most relevant information for a reader who is interested in what surveys reveal about Internet rights? Support your answer with details from the article you choose. 3) Of the three sources which contains the most ideas with which you agree?

Now read your assignment and the information about how your speech will be scored, and then begin your work. Your Assignment The availability of Internet access varies in many places around the world. Some countries have taken steps to increase people’s access to the Internet, while other countries feel it is up to the individual to gain access. Some countries even restrict personal access to the Internet. Is access to the Internet a human right or a luxury? You will write a draft of a speech and create any supplementary materials you may need for your presentation. Support your opinion with details from the sources you have read.
