Personalized Learning Education Plan & Profile Career-Related Learning Standards Career-Related Learning Experiences Extended Application

• College and Career Ready Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics

• ELA includes literacy standards for social science, technical subjects, and science

Common Core Standards – What?

• Based on evidence and research• Focused and coherent to allow for in-depth learning• Cumulative progression of skills and understandings• Rigorous content and application of knowledge

through high-order skills• Incorporate standards of excellence found in high

achieving countries

GOAL: All students college and career-ready

The Common Core State Standards

• Support increased credit requirements • 4 years English language arts, 3 years of math

• Essential Skills embedded within the CCSS

• Reflect the Personalized Learning Requirements

How do CCSS support the diploma?

Common Core Standards – Why?• Standards are the same wherever you go – smoother educational transition for students from

district to district

• Build on what works – CCSS is supported by best practices and programs

already in our schools• Data teams Oregon Literacy Framework

• RTI PBIS

• Proficiency-based Teaching & Learning

Common Core Standards – Why?• Instructional planning will be easier and more

efficient– Creating and sharing lessons, strategies and

assessments within grade levels, schools, and districts easier for teachers

– allow them to focus on high quality instruction

• We all want students to leave school prepared to be successful in whatever they do next.

• Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects– Explain how a simple machine works (science)– Compare/contrast world events (social studies)– Justify a solution to a problem (mathematics)– Academic vocabulary in all subjects

• Read and understand more challenging texts• Emphasize the use of materials to be read for

information

English Language Arts – Key Ideas

ELA– Instructional Shifts• Increase Reading of Informational Text• Literacy Instruction in all Content Areas• Text Complexity• Text-based Answers• Increase Writing from Sources• Academic Vocabulary

• Standards for Mathematical Content– K-8 standards by grade level– High school standards by conceptual theme

• Content focus at each grade allows in-depth study

• Balanced combination of procedural skill and understanding– Requires students to “explain” and “justify” rather

than “define” and “identify”• Standards for Mathematical Practice

Mathematics– Key Ideas

• Kindergarten – Grade 5– Establishes foundation of using and understanding whole

numbers, fractions, and decimals

• Grades 6-8– Preparation for geometry, algebra, and probability and

statistics

• High School– Emphasis on applying math to solve problems arising in

every day life, society, and the workplace

Mathematics – Focus Areas

Mathematics– Instructional Shifts• Focus• Coherence• Procedural Fluency• Deep Conceptual Understanding• Applications (Modeling)• Balanced Emphasis

• Districts Transition Content: 2011-14

• Full Implementation: by Spring 2014

• Statewide Assessment: Spring 2015

Common Core Standards – When?

Based on seven principles• An integrated system• Evidence of student performance• Teacher involvement• State-led with transparent governance• Continuously improve teaching and learning• Useful information on multiple measures• Adheres to established professional standards
