“The Common Core standards represent considerable change from what states currently call for in their standards and in what they assess…[Furthermore,] they are different from what U.S. teachers report they are currently teaching.”

Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Key Shifts for ELA & Literacy
1.Complexity: Regular practice with complex text and its academic language
2.Evidence: Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational
3.Knowledge: Building knowledge through content rich nonfiction
What questions do you have about the key shifts?

Science Research Simulation Task You are going to engage in a Science Research
Simulation Task (RST) similar to one students in your grade-band might encounter.
Engage in the task as an adult rather than a K-12 student.
You may not completely finish all tasks within the RST. Try to work through as much as possible within the next 20 minutes.
Please take the time to fully engage in the task. This task is important because it provides a common experience as we delve into the new literacy expectations.

Bridge To Practice Assignment
The tasks that you have remaining should be completed as your BTP assignment before the next Professional Development Module.
Completion of these tasks is vital in understanding what the PARCC assessment has in store for our students.
The next module involves the un-packing analysis of these tasks along with implications for teaching and learning in Science.
Thank you for your time!
