Career Academies Support CCSS Instructional Shifts
Erin Fender, Project ManagerCollege & Career Academy Support Network (CCASN)
Univerity of California, Berkeley - Graduate School of Education

CCASN promotes researched-based practice to improve students’ preparation for college and careers through direct support to schools and districts
Conducts practice-based research and documentation
Has created 2 websites with over 20 guides, research reports, national directory of academies, “toolbox” of downloadable materials, videos, and more
Informs local, state and national policy

About CCASN
Today’s Agenda
Define the instructional shifts called for in CCSS and NGSSUnderstand how integration of CTE and academics can be
leveraged to promote the instructional shiftsProvide Career Academy-specific examples, strategies and
student work that promote instructional shiftsExplain how Career Academies prepare students for the
new SBAC and PARCC assessments Gain knowledge about resources to assist making the
shifts
Career Academies and the CCSS are mutually supportive
1. Shared student learning outcomes, with an emphasis on higher order thinking skills
2. Compatible approaches to interdisciplinary curriculum, instruction, and performance-based assessment
3. Real-world integration and application of academic and technical skills and knowledge
4. Student assessment through authentic demonstrations of learning (e.g., portfolios, project defenses, exhibitions)
Major Shifts for CCSS Literacy
1. Building knowledge through content-rich informational text
2. Regular practice with complex text and academic vocabulary
3. Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational
9
Standards of Mathematical Practice
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning
of others.4. Model with mathematics.5. Use appropriate tools strategically.6. Attend to precision.7. Look for and make use of structure.8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
NGSS Practices
Asking questions and defining problemsPlanning and carrying out investigationsGathering, analyzing and interpreting dataUsing mathematics and computational thinkingConstructing explanations, designing solutionsDeveloping and using modelsObtaining, evaluating, communicating informationEngaging in argument from evidence

CCSS-ELA Shifts = Literacy

2. Regular practice with complex text and academic vocabulary
3. Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational
Brain Research says…
When people learn in an applied context they access many more neural networks, hooking new knowledge more deeply into existing schema.
Students learn more and it sticks when learning is connected and applied in authentic contexts.

Activities to support the shifts
Provide time and training to: cross-walk the standards to student-learning
outcomes in each course and grade level unpack the standards to clearly understand what is
being asked of the studentDevelop prototypes of performance assessments or
interdisciplinary projects that are mapped to the CCSSProvide access to existing resources (eg. LDC and
CCASN Curriculum Database)

CCSS ELA Instructional Shifts
Building knowledge through content-rich informational text
Regular practice with complex text and its academic language
Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational
Standards of Mathematical Practice
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
Model with mathematics
Use appropriate tools strategically
NGSS Practices
Asking questions and defining problemsPlanning and carrying out investigationsGathering, analyzing and interpreting dataUsing mathematics and computational thinkingConstructing explanations, designing solutionsDeveloping and using modelsObtaining, evaluating, communicating informationEngaging in argument from evidence
31
1. Write an example of:• a discipline-specific text-dependent question that
could be asked based on this text• a math question that requires students to
construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
2. How do the questions you developed in #1 address the instructional ELA shifts, the Standards of Mathematical Practice, and/or the NGSS Practices in a Career Academy context?

Math Example
Verify Apple’s claim:By reducing iPhone packaging by 28 percent from 2007 to 2012, we ship up to 60 percent more boxes in each airline shipping container. That saves one 747 flight for every 416,667 units we ship.
CCSS.Math.Content.HSN-Q.A.2 Define appropriate quantities for the purpose of descriptive modeling.
Dimensions Thickness Weight iPhone 5 59 x 124 mm 7.6mm 112g
iPhone 61 x 115 mm 11.6mm 135g
33
Math Example
Design packaging for an iPhone using packaging for an iPhone 5 as a guideline or propose a design for iPhone and iPhone 5 packaging to meet or exceed Apple’s environmental claims.
CCSS.Math.Content.HSG-MG.A.3 Apply geometric methods to solve design problems (e.g., designing an object or structure to satisfy physical constraints or minimize cost; working with typographic grid systems based on ratios).
Dimensions Thickness Weight

iPhone 61 x 115 mm 11.6mm 135g

Science Literacy Example
How can corporations take responsibility for their environmental impact?
After reading Apple’s environmental report, write an essay in which you discuss primary opportunities to reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing, and evaluate Apple’s efforts. Support your position with evidence from the text. NGSS.HS-LS2-7. Human environmental impact mitigation
HS-LS2-7. Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity.
35
US History Literacy Example
How have environmental protection laws impacted how companies do business?
After reading Apple’s environmental report and the major federal environmental laws, write an essay that explains the impact of environmental protection laws on how companies must manage a product’s manufacture. Support your discussion with evidence from your reading.
CA-HIST11-2 Rise of Industrialization
CA-HIST11-11.5 History and impact of environmental movement
36
Starting Points for Literacy
Industry aligned texts
Text-dependent questions
Evidence-based writing
Consider this question:What art speaks to you? After reading excerpts from The Story of Art and watching Exit Through the Gift Shop, identify a visual image that you find striking and write an essay explaining why you find it powerful.
Should museums exhibit graffiti as art? After reading excerpts from The Story of Art and watching Exit Through the Gift Shop, write a report arguing for or against based on functional and historical theories of art. Support your position with evidence from the texts.

How does the integration of CTE and academic courses
(aka Career Academies) better prepare students for
Common Core Assessments?
Common Core and New Assessments
Requires an instructional shift to interdisciplinary teaching and learning
Increased emphasis on real world applicationAuthentic demonstrations of learning through
student performance assessmentsBalancing of informational and literary textsMastery of concepts at a deeper level
38
39
Mathematical Questions
From SBAC, “Performance Tasks:Require student initiated planning, management of
information/data and ideasReflect a real world task; allow for multiple approachesRepresent content that is relevant to studentsAllow for demonstration of important knowledge and
skills, including those that address 21st century skills such as critically analyzing and synthesizing information presented in a variety of formats, media, etc.”
