2. General Design Principles
Accurately capture the shifts

3. Identify and understand the shifts: Translate into Practice
ELA/Literacy
Regular practice with complex text and its academic language
Reading, writing and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational
Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction
Mathematics
Focus strongly where the Standards focus
Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics within grades
Rigor: In major topics, pursue with equal intensity: conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application

4. General Design Principles
Accurately capture the shifts
Help teachers in the real work:  teacher input

Developmental tools for teachers and those who support teachers.
Intended to support teachers in developing their practice, and to help coaches or other instructional leaders in supporting them to do so. For example, through:
Teacher self-reflection
Teacher-to-teacher learning in PLCs, grade-level meetings or other collaborative structures
Coaching and feedback from instructional coaches or leaders

23. CCSS Instructional Practice Guides– Design & Structure
There are CCSS Instructional Practice Guides for
ELA/literacy (K-2, 3-5, 6-12, History/Social Studies, Science & Technical Subjects)
Mathematics (K-8, HS)
Each CCSS Instructional Practice Guide includes a tool for a single lesson and a tool for over the course of the year
Each CCSS Instructional Practice Guide for a single lesson has 3 Core Actions and each Core Action has 3-6 indicators
2 min – Take a look at the guides themselves
All guides are available at achievethecore.org/instructional-practice.

24. CCSS Instructional Practice Guide Daily Core Actions in ELA/Literacy
Focus each lesson on a high quality text (or multiple texts).
Employ questions and tasks that are text dependent and text specific.
Provide all students with opportunities to engage in the work of the lesson.

25. CCSS Instructional Practice Guide Daily Core Actions in Mathematics
Ensure the work of the lesson reflects the shifts required by the CCSS for Mathematics.
Employ instructional practices that allow all students to master the content of the lesson.
Provide all students with opportunities to exhibit mathematical practices in connection with the content of the lesson, and therefore, all students are productively engaged in the work of the lesson.
