The Common Core Standards (CCS or CCSS as we use it in Santa Clara County) were developed by the Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Governor’s Association Center for Best Practices, and were formally released on June 2, 2010.

States that have adopted the Common Core State Standards

The focus of the CCSS is to ensure students are: • Meeting college & work expectations• Prepared to succeed in a global economy & society• Provided with rigorous content and applications of higher knowledge through higher order thinking skills

What are the benefits of the CCSS?

• Internationally benchmarked• Student expectations are clear to parents, teachers,

and the general public• Allows for collaboration with other states on best

practices, instructional materials, and professional development

• Reduces costs to the state

16

• Provide an integrated model of literacy• Focus on text complexity• Address reading & writing across the curriculum• Emphasize analysis of informational text• Focus on writing arguments and drawing evidence from

sources• Emphasize participating in collaborative conversation• Integrate media sources across standards

Areas of Emphasis

Reading Standards for Informational Text 1

K With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key

details in a text.

1 Ask and answer questions about key details in a text.

2 Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and

how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text. 3 Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text,

referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers.

4 Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text

says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

5

Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

6

Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.

7

Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.

8

Cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.

9-10

Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.

11-12

Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text, including determining where the text leaves matters uncertain.

Arts References in Common Core Standards for Reading

• If definition of text includes non-print texts (dance, media arts, music, or theatre works)…

• …then all reading standards refer to arts-based content or investigation.

Reading a work of drama: • RL.5.3: Compare and contrast two or more characters, settings or events in a story or drama, drawing on specific

details in the text (e.g., how characters interact.)

Using songs in instruction:

• RL.2.4: Describe how words and phrases (e.g., regular beats, alliteration, rhymes, repeated lines) supply rhythm and meaning in a story, poem, or song.

Comparing the same work in different media: • RL.6.7: Compare and contrast the experience of reading a story, drama, or poem to listening to or viewing an audio,

video, or live version of the text, including contrasting what they “see” and “hear” when reading the text to what they perceive when they listen or watch.

Analyzing and interpreting images: • RI.K.7: With prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the text in which they

appear.

Multimedia references:• RI.7.7: Compare and contrast a text to an audio, video, or multimedia version of the text, analyzing each medium’s

portrayal of the subject.

Arts References in Common Core

Standards for Writing

• Eight arts links in 100 standards

• Visual art/drawing links found in the standards for the lower grades

• W.K.2: Use a combination of drawing, writing, and dictating to compose informative/explanatory texts in which they name what they are writing about and supply some information about the topic.

• Media Arts/multimedia links:

• W.8.2.a: Introduce a topic clearly, previewing what is to follow; organize ideas, concepts, and information into broader categories; include formatting, graphics (e.g., charts, tables) and multimedia when useful to aiding comprehension.

Arts References in Common Core Standards for Speaking and Listening

• 16 arts links in 60 standards• Most references are related to standard #5:

Make strategic use of digital media and visual displays of data to express information and enhance understanding of presentations

Standard 5: Make strategic use of digital media and digital displays of data to express information and enhance understanding of presentations

• SL.K.5: Add drawings or other visual displays to descriptions as desired to provide additional detail.

• SL.2.5: Create audio recordings of stories or poems; add drawings or other visual displays to stories or recounts of experiences when appropriate to clarify ideas, thoughts, and feelings

• SL.5.5: Include multimedia components (e.g., graphics, sound) and visual displays in presentations when appropriate to enhance the development of main ideas or themes.

• SL.8.5: Integrate multimedia and visual displays into presentations to clarify information, strengthen claims and evidence, and add interest.

• SL.11-12.5: Make strategic use of digital media (e.g., textual, graphical, audio, visual, and interactive elements) in presentations to enhance understanding of findings, reasoning, and evidence and to add interest.

Arts References in Common Core Standards for Language

• The language standards contain one direct arts reference in standard L.5.3:

Compare and contrast the varieties of English (e.g., dialects, registers) used in stories, dramas, or poems

• Follow rules for collegial discussions (1.a)• Pose and respond to specific questions with

elaboration and detail (1.b)• Review key ideas expressed (1.c)• Interpret information presented in diverse media &

formats and explain how it contributes to a topic, text or issue under study (2)

CCSS Implications for VAPA?

• 6th-12th grade writing has three main focus areas – argument, explanatory, narrative

• Infuse the arts with discussion – standards in each grade level (come to discussions prepared)

• Have students elaborate on the remarks of others (listening/speaking)

• Use of domain-specific words and phrases
