Common Core Standards

1. Common Core Standards ERD April 13, 2011 http://www1.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?title=Teachers_Make_a_Difference&video_id=8498

2. Timeline • Starting 2011-2012, ISS is rolling out the common core as a transition year. • We have a little time getting used to the new system, before we actually need to. • Which is good, because the common core is good teaching…

3. Timelines for Roll-Out • 2012-2013 for all (42 states have adopted, some will say 48 states) • ISS has planned for a transition year (2011-2012) • K-2 will implement ELA and Math next year • 3-12 will implement ELA only next year because the testing plan will change at that time

4. Timeline for Rollout

5. 2012-2013: K-12 ELA; K-12 Math Common Core Assessment (re-norming year) 2011-2012: Transition Year:K-12 ELA; K-2 MathRegular EOG and K-12- possible field test Timeline for Assessment 2013-2014: K-12 ELA; K-12 Math Common Core Fully Operational

6. The Common Core State Standards: Are good for kids!!!! Are aligned with college and workforce expectations; Are clear, understandable and consistent; Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills; Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards; Are informed by standards in other top performing countries, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society; and Are evidence-based. Enhances teacher creativity and helps close gaps Provides richer vertical planning

7. So many resources…. • Massive amount of content and resources available nationwide. • We want to stay consistent within ISS, therefore only using resources posted to ISS website as a common reference. • Some pieces may not be accurate, there are many draft forms, and items are still being revised. • Questions chart

8. Math Activity • How many rectangles can you make with a perimeter of 30?

9. Reflection • How did you solve this problem? • What process did you use?

10. 8 Mathematical Practices • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. • Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. • Model with mathematics. • Use appropriate tools strategically. • Attend to precision. • Look for and make use of structure. • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

11. 8 Practices For Math • Handout Common Core: Standards of Mathematical Practice Recording Sheet • Each table is assigned one of 8 practices. • How would this look in the classroom? • Share-out

12. Table Talk • Which of these practices did you use in the perimeter activity?

13. Quote Activity“The only constant thing in life is change” • At your tables read through the quotes and discuss as a table your understanding

14. Cross-Walk for Math • What is new to your grade level? • What Standards have left your grade level?

15. Common Core: English Language Arts Standards LITERATURE INFORMATIAL TEXT Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Grades K-12 Reading and Writing standards for all content subjects

16. Students who are college & career ready in Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening, & Language... comprehend as well as critique. build strong content knowledge. value evidence. demonstrate independence. respond to the varying demands of audience, task, purpose, and discipline. use technology and digital media strategically and capably. come to understand other perspectives and cultures.

17. Spiraling Continuum Activity • Spiral continuum of ELA Anchor • Order the standards from K-12 • Share out answers • Aha’s?

18. Activity • Everyone find an envelope on the table • Each envelope has a reading anchor standard in it • Read your anchor standard and place in order • You may work with a partner and you may also use your common core anchor standards handout

19. Feedback • Learning Log • Exit Card • Plus Delta
