Common Core State Standards The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, and to reflect the knowledge and skills that 21st century youth will need for success in college and careers. With all students academically prepared for the future, our state and our nation will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.

Common Core State Standards Goals of State-led Joint Effort: -Fewer, clearer, and higher-level standards -Standards aligned with college and work expectations -Internationally benchmarked standards -Consistent learning expectations across states

Common Core State Standards 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

Common Core State Standards: Why? 63% of jobs nationwide will require some postsecondary education by % of Oregon jobs will require postsecondary education; of those: 54% vocational training, certification, or associate degree 46% bachelor or graduate degree Source: Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, June 2010Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, June 2010

Principle #1: Increases in student learning occur only as a consequence of improvements in the level of content, teachers’ knowledge and skill, and student engagement. Richard Elmore, Ph.D., Harvard Graduate School of Education Principle #2: If you change one element of the instructional core, you have to change the other two. The Instructional Core

English Language Arts CCSS Video FAQ Goals of the CCSS ELA

English Language Arts – Instructional Shift Traditional Classroom Focus on literature (fiction) Literary skills (identifying terms and devices like theme) ELA taught in isolation Common Core Classroom Informational texts prepare for college and career Cross-content literacy ELA taught in collaboration

English Language Arts – Key Ideas 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

Mathematics CCSS Video FAQ CCSS Math Classroom

Mathematics – Key Ideas Balanced combination of procedural skill and understanding Requires students to “explain” and “justify” rather than “define” and “identify” Standards for Mathematical Practice Content focus at each grade allows in-depth study Standards for Mathematical Content K-8 standards by grade level High school standards by conceptual theme

Mathematics – Focus Areas 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
