21. Oregon Content Standards
New Common Core State
Standards Structure
Fewer, more focused and coherent content standards.
Built around “big ideas” for each grade level and subject area (core standards statements).
Articulates learning progressions within and between grade levels.
Allows for more effective lesson design, focused instruction, and creation of formative assessments.
Endurance, Leverage, and Performance Success.
We are beginning a new generation of standards-based education. We can now create standards purposefully and mindful of how students best learn. Research-based.
Endurance: Will the standard provide students with knowledge and skills that will be of value beyond a single test date?
Leverage: Will the standard provide knowledge and skills that will be of value in multiple disciplines?
Success: Will the standard provide students with essential knowledge and skills that are necessary for success in the next level of instruction? Beyond school?
