  1. Aligning Curriculum to the Common Core State StandardsPecos Valley Regional Education Cooperative #8 Elizabeth Bailey elizabethcbailey@bellsouth.net Welcome to the Pecos Valley Curriculum Design and Construction Team

  2. Admit Slip • On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being no familiarity and 10 being thoroughly knowledgeable, where are you in relation to the CCSS? • What is your biggest concern about the shift to CCSS?

  3. Introductions

  4. Where do we stand on the CCSS? • Line up based on your admit slip score • Fold the line • Share your concerns with your partner • Share out

  5. Let’s Get to know the Common Core State Standards.

  6. Mission • Work with your team • Read the mission statement on p. 3 in planner • Write a 15 word summary of the mission • Create a visual illustration to accompany the summary • Put on chart paper • Share/respond

  7. A Vision for Implementation

  8. Alphabet Review Use the Alphabet Review (p. 4) as a learning aid. Refer/match each letter to CCSS terms that you learn during this day’s session. Use the ABC Review to keep track of terms (new vocabulary), recording them by the appropriate letters (Example: “A” = Alphabet Review).

  9. Jigsaw these six reading assignments on the Common Core State Standards: #1 page 3 #2 page 4 #3 page 5 #4 page 6 #5 page 7 #6 page 8 Read your section silently as an individual. Take notes from your reading, marking at least three important facts or themes. Report back to your team. Have each member of the team report out on his/her assigned section. Complete your notes.

  10. Five Key Ideas aboutCommon Core, the Blueprint 1. Outline the most essential skills and knowledge every student needs to master to be college and career ready. 2. Distribute responsibility for students’ literacy development through grade 12. 3. Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills. 4. Written so that all students are prepared to succeed in the global economy and society. 5. Are evidence and/or research based.

  11. Investigating the Standards: CCSS English Language Arts

  12. Overall ELA Structure K-5 6-12 ELA 6-12 Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science & Technical Subjects Appendix A Appendix B Appendix C

  13. Sticky note divider Standards Documents Walk-Through Use sticky notes to mark important sections • Introduction: pp. 2-8 • Standards for English Language Arts, K-5, pp. 9-33 • Standards for English Language Arts, 6-12, pp. 34-58 • Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects, 6-12, pp. 59-66 • Appendix A (Research Supporting Key Elements of the Standards and Glossary of Key Terms), 43 pages • Appendix B (Text Exemplars and Sample Performance Tasks) -183 pages • Appendix C (Samples of Student Writing)- 107 pages INTRO K-5 ELA 6-12 ELA LIT - CONTENT APPEN. A & APPEN. B APPEN. C

  14. College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards • Flowing throughout all strands of standards • Anchoring the document • Defining general, cross-disciplinary literacy expectations • Defining expectations that must be met for entry into college and workforce training programs • Expressing cumulative progressions through the grades to meet CCR by end of high school

  15. Key Design Features • CCR (College and Career Readiness) & Grade specific standards • Grade Levels and Grade Bands • Focus on Results • Integrated Model of Literacy • Research and Media Blended • Shared Responsibility

  16. Reading the Blueprint-Checking the Details and Making Marks Common Core Standards Reading Directions: [ ] Put a bracket around a note. Circle the strand. _______ Underline the organizing elements (subheadings). Put a down arrow by the grade level. Put a check by the specific standard. Or Draw a rectangle around the standard. Anchor Standards for Reading-pages 35-40 Anchor Standards for Writing-pages 41-48

  17. Blueprint Standard Code Reminders 1. Reading has threesubareas. literature information foundational skills (only through 5th grade) 2. Writing has nosubareas. 3. Both have tenrules/standards to live by.

  18. 4. Anchor Writing Standards require three types and purposes for writing: argumentative informative/explanatory narrative 5. Speaking/Listening and Language each have six standards. 6. Research and technology use are embedded throughout.

  19. Web Assistance for Planning Your Core Blueprint Common Core State Standards’ Information-http://www.corestandards.org Listing of States that have adopted Common Core- http://www.corestandards.org/in-the-states

  20. Blueprint CORE STANDARDS Review and Processing: Team Table Talk What is still rolling around in my mind? What squares with my thinking?

  21. READING & CCR Reading Anchor Standards • Reading Literature • Reading Informational Text • Foundational Skills (K-5)

  22. College & Career Readiness (CCR) Anchor Standards for Reading Major Organizing Structure Throughout the Reading CCR Categories • Key Ideas and Details • Craft and Structure • Integration of Knowledge and Ideas • Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity Specific Standards are Provided in Each Category by Grade Level/Band

  23. Activity # 2: Investigating College & Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading Task: • PART A. Read the CCR Reading standards on p. 35. • Discuss the major concepts in each CCR category. • Complete the chart provided with your thinking on p. 5. • PART B. Read the paragraph in italics on the right of page 35. • Highlight key words and phrases. • Discuss your thinking about range and content of text with your table partners, and make notes below the chart.

  24. Literary Text Literary text is a narrative form of text and can be viewed as fiction, nonfiction, or poetry. • Fiction: Text that is imagined more than real and its main purpose is to entertain and engage readers.
