Common Core Shifts in ELA/Literacy
• Staircase of Complexity• Balancing Informational and Literary Texts• Close Reading and Text-based Question/Answer• Writing from Sources• Academic Vocabulary
6
Staircase of Complexity
• Students read the central, grade appropriate text around which instruction is centered.
• Teachers provide time and space for close and careful reading.
• Teachers provide appropriate and necessary scaffolding and supports for students reading below grade level.
7
Balancing Informational Texts
• Informational text does not have to replace fiction if the overall amount of reading students do increases dramatically.
• CCSS moves percentages to
• 50:50 at elementary level
• 75:25 at secondary level (includes ELA, science, social studies)

9
• Standards in reading require students to respond to text-dependent questions with evidence-based claims.
• Students have rich and rigorous conversations which are dependent on a common text.
• Teachers insist that classroom experiences stay deeply connected to the text.
• Students develop habits for making evidentiary arguments both in conversation, as well as in writing.

Writing from Sources
• Standards in writing ask students to respond to evidence-based writing prompts (inform/argue).
• Writing needs to emphasize use of evidence to inform or make an argument rather than a personal narrative.
• Students develop skills through written arguments that respond to ideas, events, facts, and arguments presented in the text they read.

Strategy Sharing
Writing from Sources and Using Mentor Texts• writing prompts
• Refer back to Achieve the Core website
13
Academic Vocabulary
• Standards focus on building vocabulary that is shared across many types of complex texts and many content areas.
• Students constantly build the vocabulary they need to access grade level complex texts.
• Teachers strategically focus on teaching pivotal and commonly found words and less on esoteric literary terms.
