5 Not later than June 30, 2010… the state board of education shall adopt statewide academic standards with emphasis on coherence, focus, and rigor for each of grades kindergarten through twelve in English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. – ORC §3301.079(A)(1) Standards Revision

6 Strands Topics Standard Statements by Grade Level Standards Statements by Grade Level “What” students should know and be able to do at each grade level and band.

16 RL = Reading for Literature RI = Reading for Information RF = Reading Foundations W = Writing SL = Speaking and Listening L = Language Common Core Coding

17 RL.1.2 Sample Code Reading Literature Standard 2 Grade 1

18 W.4.3 Writing, Grade 4, Standard 3 RF.2.4 Reading Foundations, Grade 2, Standard 4 L.10.3a Language, Grade 10, Standard 3a CCSS Coding Quiz

19 Additional Components Common Core Standards Anchor standards (K-12) Literacy standards for History/Social Studies, Science and other Technical Subjects (Grades 6-12) Appendix A – Text complexity Appendix B – Illustrative texts Appendix C – Student writing exemplars Language Progressive Skills (Grades 3-12)

20 Spotlight on what students read: ‒Complexity ‒Range Close analysis of texts with evidence to back up claims and conclusions Writing to sources Research (short projects) Several Key Shifts

21 Marshaling arguments Academic vocabulary (Isabel Beck’s Bringing Words to Life) Evidence, evidence, evidence Several Key Shifts

22 1.Make close reading of texts central to lesson 2.Structure majority of instruction so all students read grade-level complex texts 3.Emphasize informational texts from early grades on 4.Provide scaffolding that does not preempt or replace text 5.Ask text-dependent questions Ten Guiding Principles

23 6.Provide extensive research and writing opportunities (claims and evidence) 7.Offer regular opportunities for students to share ideas, evidence and research 8.Offer systematic instruction in vocabulary 9.Provide explicit instruction in grammar and conventions 10.Cultivate students’ independence Ten Guiding Principles

24 Transitioning to Revised Standards Familiarize yourself with structure and content of new standards Understand commonalities and differences between current and revised standards Discuss implications for instruction and assessment Choose at least one guiding principle to address each year

25 Intentional Design Limitations What Standards do NOT define: How teachers should teach All that can or should be taught Nature of advanced work beyond core Interventions needed for students well below grade level Full range of support for English language learners and students with special needs – Common Core Presentation 2010

26 Q:Will the common core state standards keep local teachers from deciding what or how to teach? A:No. Common core standards are clear set of shared goals and expectations for what knowledge and skills will help students succeed Local teachers, principals, superintendents and others will decide how standards are met Teachers continue to devise lesson plans and tailor instruction to individual needs of students in classrooms Local teachers, principals, superintendents and school boards continue to make decisions about curriculum and how school systems are operated – Common Core Presentation 2010 Q:Will the common core state standards keep local teachers from deciding what or how to teach? A:No. Common core standards are clear set of shared goals and expectations for what knowledge and skills will help students succeed Local teachers, principals, superintendents and others will decide how standards are met Teachers continue to devise lesson plans and tailor instruction to individual needs of students in classrooms Local teachers, principals, superintendents and school boards continue to make decisions about curriculum and how school systems are operated – Common Core Presentation 2010 Frequently Asked Question

27 ELA Crosswalk Aligns current ELA Standards to Revised ELA Common Core Standards (in broad way) Available at education.ohio.goveducation.ohio.gov (Academic Content Standards>English Language Arts>Comparison of the K-12 Ohio Academic Content Standards and the Common Core Standards) Updated February 1 – please use new version

28 Deeper look at how revised standards align to 2001 standards By grade level, will show: – What is same – What is new – What is no longer present To be released by ODE in August Comparative Analysis

29 Upcoming PD Sessions Regional meetings around the state beginning in October to explain CCSS in all four content areas Seeking people to facilitate those meetings (Regional Content Facilitators) Contact Anita.Bowden@ode.state.oh.us for an applicationAnita.Bowden@ode.state.oh.us

30 Revised Academic Content Standards: June 2010 Model Curricula: March 2011 Aligned System of Assessments: 2014 Next Step: Model Curricula

31 Why a Model Curriculum? …the state board shall adopt a model curriculum…The model curriculum shall be aligned with the standards, to ensure that the academic content and skills specified for each grade level are taught to students, and shall demonstrate vertical articulation and emphasize coherence, focus, and rigor. – ORC §3301.079(B)

32 What is the Model Curriculum? Web-based tool, aligned to standards, that: Presents information specific to content area by grade level, grade band and course Provides curricular and instructional guidance Includes instructional strategies and resources Informs assessment development

33 Progressions Content Elaborations Enduring Understanding Instructional Strategies and Resources English Language Arts Grade 3 Standards Model Curriculum Example

34 To be updated and expanded every year Includes link to www.cast.org for plethora of resources and strategies for diverse learnerswww.cast.org Instructional Strategies and Resources

35 Helpful Websites www.corestandards.org (Use link at top of page, The Standards) www.commoncore.org (Curriculum maps linked to Common Core Standards) www.education.ohio.gov (Academic Content Standards>English Language Arts>Comparison of the K-12 Ohio Academic Content Standards and the Common Core Standards)
