Today’s session: I will have a working knowledge of the new Common Core State Standards for math and ELA I will use tech tools to reflect on the new SCOS and my role in preparing teachers I will collaborate with colleagues to identify teachers’ needs in implementing the new SCOS
State Board of Education Mission Every public school student will graduate from high school, globally competitive for work and postsecondary education and prepared for life in the 21st Century. -Adopted August 2006
ACRE – NC’s Accountability and Curriculum Reform Effort NC’s comprehensive initiative to redefine the Standard Course of Study for K-12 students, the student assessment program and the school accountability model. North Carolina education leaders are the first in the nation to address learning standards, student assessments and school accountability simultaneously.
NC Professional Teaching Standards • form the basis for teacher preparation, evaluation, and professional development • what teachers need to know and be able to do in 21st century schools
media literacy communication financial literacy collaboration technology skills cooperation creativity critical thinking

NC Standard Course of Study Common Core State Standards (Adopted by 48 states and the District of Columbia) • English Language Arts • Mathematics NC Essential Standards • Science • Social Studies • World Languages • Arts Education • Healthful Living • Career & Tech Ed • Exceptional Children • English as Second Language • English Language Development (approved 2008) • Information & Technology *English Language Development and Information & Technology Essential Standards must be delivered by classroom teachers through ALL content areas, in appropriate grade levels– in collaboration with AIG, EC, ESL, media coordinators and tech facilitators.
Common Core Big Picture Aligned with college and work expectations Focused and coherent Includes rigorous content and application of knowledge through higher-order skills Internationally benchmarked – prepares students for global economy & society Based on evidence and research
Rationale for Implementation Equity/Student Mobility Expectations the same regardless of where students live or where they go College/Career Readiness Students need to be more than proficient ComparabilityState results will be comparable through common assessments
Rationale for Implementation Shared Resources Ability to share and team across district and state lines Economies of Scale Possible savings due to sharing of resources and assessments
3 Shifts in Mathematics • Shift 1 - Focus • Shift 2 - Coherence • Shift 3 – Rigor
Structural Differences • K-8: • Designed by year. • Domains (overarching concepts) are listed under the grade. • High School: • Designed by Domain • Courses pull from each of the high school domains
Standards for Mathematical Practice 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.
Implications of Mathematical Practices on Classroom Instruction
“What task can you give that will build student understanding?” rather than “How can you explain clearly so they will understand?” adapted from Grayson Wheatley, NCCTM, 2002
English/Language Arts media • Balance of informational and literary texts • Use of complex texts • Focus on the evidence – text-based answers • Writing from sources • Academic vocabulary • Conventions of Standard English media media
Design There are four strands: • Reading • + Reading Foundational Skills K-5 • Writing • Speaking and Listening • Language The ELA Common Core supports an integrated model of literacy. There are media requirements blended throughout.
College and Career Readiness (CCR) Anchor Standards in each strand Have broad expectations consistent across grades and content areas. Are based on evidence about college and workforce training expectations. Expect instruction to cover a broad range of increasingly challenging texts.
CCR Anchor Standards Wordle www.wordle.net
K-12 Grade Specific Standards Are grade-specific end-of-year expectations. Are developmentally appropriate. There is a vertical progression of skills and understandings. Have a one-to-one correspondence with CCR Anchor Standards.
Vertical Progression Readers’ Theatre
Focus on Text Complexity • ELA CC State Standards: • focus on short texts worthy of rereading • are emphatic about students reading text of an adequate range and complexity. • focus intently on students reading closely to draw evidence from the text itself. • require students to read increasingly complex texts with increasing independence as they progress towards career and college readiness.
“There are known knowns. There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don’t know we don’t know.” Donald Rumsfeld, as published in Newsweek, 09Mar2003, p.113 Rumsfeld, D. (2003, March 09). International perspectives.
