  1. The Common Core Learning Framework (c) 2011-2012

  2. Common Core Learning Framework (c) 2011-2012

  3. What is the Common Core Learning Framework? • The Common Core Standards and associated assessments require students to be familiar with and possess an understanding of three increasingly sophisticated levels of examination. • Analysis, Compare and Contrast, Interpretation • Each level of examination is supported by specific elements that help students master the art of synthesizing textual information. (c) 2011-2012

  4. What is the Common Core Learning Framework? • The Common Core Standards also require students to be adept at using a number of academic skills in order to effectively understand and utilize primary and secondary sources in composing a written product. • The combination of the three levels of examination and the critical academic skills have been combined into the Common Core Learning Framework. (c) 2011-2012

  5. Part One The Three Levels of Examination (c) 2011-2012

  6. Three Levels of Examination • Analysis: • Determining the essential nature of the documents • Breaking the documents into essential parts • Compare & Contrast: • Assess similarities and differences • Corroborate and differentiate • Interpretation: • Historiographical analysis • Higher Order Thinking (c) 2011-2012

  7. What Does this Do? The three levels of examination provide the teacher and the student with critical foundational concepts for in-depth learning. Think of this process as if you were building a house where the foundation is the first and most critical component. The three levels of examination provide the foundation on which students will build their knowledge and understanding. (c) 2011-2012

  8. Part Two Common Core Skills (c) 2011-2012

  9. Common Core Skills • The academic skills have been arranged so that they flow from the more general to the more specific. • The skills are designed to help students understand the context, structure, major ideas, fundamental details, and synthesize them. • The skills are divided into four major sections: • Contextualization • Craft and Structure • Key Ideas and Details • Integration of Knowledge (c) 2011-2012

  10. Common Core Skills Craft and Structure Establishing time, scope and Sequence Understanding the big picture Establishing the values and beliefs of the time Identifying and defining key terms Determining the main idea Identifying the Author’s bias or point of view Contextualization (c) 2011-2012

  11. Common Core Skills Integration of Knowledge Assessing the reliability of the information Evaluation of argument and reasoning Comparing ideas within and across texts Analysis of multiple sources and perspectives Understanding multiple perspectives Assessing different interpretations over time Key Ideas & Details (c) 2011-2012

  12. What Does this Do? The common core skills provide students and teachers with a logical and systematic deconstruction of the thinking and reasoning skills required to be successful with the Common Core Standards. The grouping and organization of the skills allows teachers to utilize selected skills to be stressed in classroom activities as well as allowing teachers to focus on individual skills that have not been mastered. In terms of our house analogy, the common core skills are the framing and structure that is attached to the foundation. (c) 2011-2012

  13. Part Three The Common Core Learning Framework (c) 2011-2012

  14. Analysis (c) 2011-2012

  15. Compare and Contrast (c) 2011-2012

  16. Interpretation (c) 2011-2012

  17. What Does this Do? The framework shows teachers and students how the levels of examination and common core skills are inter-related and build a systematic process for in-depth learning, understanding, and evaluation of historical sources and material. In our house analogy this represents the siding and the roof. (c) 2011-2012

  18. Information Processing Putting the Common Core Learning Framework to Work (c) 2011-2012

  19. Processing? • A key component of success in working with the Common Core Standards is building in consistent and rigorous mental processes • Understanding is ultimately a function of processing various pieces and amounts of information • Processing occurs best and most efficiently when there are multiple sources and a required constructive and analytic product (c) 2011-2012 Peter N. Stearns, Peter Seixas, and Sam Wineberg, Knowing Teaching & Learning History (New York: NYU Press, 2000), 375-386. 

  20. An Exercise in Processing • We are going to look at three different excerpts (A, B, & C) about a specific event in American history that you probably do not have a great deal of knowledge about • The excerpts are from primary sources and from combinations of primary and secondary sources • What to do: • Read each excerpt and determine the main idea • Compare and contrast the excerpts with each other (c) 2011-2012

  21. A Letter from Nathanael Greene to Daniel Morgan (c) 2011-2012

  22. B (c) 2011-2012 From Kings Mountain and Cowpens: Our Victory was Complete

  23. C (c) 2011-2012 Lt Colonel John Moncure’s The Cowpens Staff Ride and Battlefield Tour

  24. Corroboration Kings Mountain and Cowpens: Our Victory Was Complete Nathanael Greene to Daniel Morgan The Cowpens Staff Ride and Battlefield Tour (c) 2011-2012

  25. Analysis Part two What are the facts in this instance? What do the facts mean? How reliable are the facts that have been presented? How do the facts compare? What do the differences imply? Part One (c) 2011-2012 Wineberg, Sam. "Reading and Rewriting History." Educational Leadership September, no. (2004): 42-45.

  26. Construction After an exercise like this in the classroom you would normally have the students develop a written product. The idea is to use the newly created knowledge from the analysis, interpretation, and evaluation as the basis for creation rather than regurgitation. In the instance of the three documents we worked with a possible task may be to address the accuracy of Morgan’s supposed violation of his orders, and the wisdom of his actions. Students would be forced to reexamine what they just learned and use the knowledge to create “new” history rather than rehash the old. (c) 2011-2012

  27. Wrapping it Up The information processing piece combines the use of all of the common core skills and the three levels of examination to produce a rigorous academic product like that required under the Common Core Standards. To complete our house analogy, information processing is the final stage of construction where items are painted and the house is ready for occupation. (c) 2011-2012
