Criteria for Common Core and Essential Standards set by NC
• Goal: The standards as a whole must be essential, rigorous, clear and specific, coherent, and internationally benchmarked.
• ESSENTIAL: The standards have been developed to be fewer, clearer, and higher, to best drive effective policy and practice.
essentialessential
Criteria for Common Core and Essential Standards set by NC
• Goal: The standards as a whole must be essential, rigorous, clear and specific, coherent, and internationally benchmarked.
• The standards will include high-level cognitive demands by asking students to demonstrate deep conceptual understanding through the application of content knowledge and skills to new situations. High-level cognitive demand includes reasoning, justification, synthesis, analysis, and problem-solving.

Criteria for Common Core and Essential Standards set by NC
• Goal: The standards as a whole must be essential, rigorous, clear and specific, coherent, and internationally benchmarked.
• CLEAR and SPECIFIC: The standards should provide sufficient guidance and clarity so that they are teachable, learnable, and measurable. They are written with precise language to provide sufficient detail to convey the level of performance expected without being overly prescriptive. (the “what” not the “how”).

• Goal: The standards as a whole must be essential, rigorous, clear and specific, coherent, and internationally benchmarked.
• The standards should convey a unified vision of the big ideas and supporting concepts within a discipline and reflect a progression of learning that is meaningful and appropriate.

Criteria for Common Core and Essential Standards set by NC
• Goal: The standards as a whole must be essential, rigorous, clear and specific, coherent, and internationally benchmarked.
• The standards are aligned by their content, rigor, and organization to other high-performing countries so that all students are prepared for succeeding in our global economy and society.

Purpose and Expected Outcomes•You will be able to:
1. Summarize what is different about the structure of the Common Core Standards and Essential Standards.
2. Understand the intended use of the Instructional Toolkit
3. Recognize the benefits of teaching conceptually as opposed to topically.
4. Recognize the cross-curricular and progressive attributes of the standards.

What Has NC Done to Help? • ACRE http://www.ncpublicschools.org/acre/• Crosswalks for all Common Core and Essential
Standards are posted at http://www.ncpublicschools.org/acre/standards/support-tools/
• Unpacking documents are also posted at http://www.ncpublicschools.org/acre/standards/support-tools/

• The College and Career Readiness standards (CCR) anchor the documents and define general general, cross-disciplinary literacy expectations. The numbered CCR standards will correspond to the numbered standards for each grade level.
COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESSINTER-
DISCIPLINARY APPROACH
“The ELA Standards insist that instruction in reading, writing, speaking, listening and language be a shared responsibility within the school. These standards reflect the unique, time-honored place of ELA teachers in developing students’ literacy skills, while at the same time recognizing that teachers in other areas must have a role in this development as well.”

APPROACH
“To succeed in the 21st Century, today’s students must be able to access, evaluate, and use information effectively and use a variety of technology tools and resources to communicate, collaborate, create, and share.”

EMBEDDED CURRICULUM
NC ITES Expectations• Classroom teachers are responsible for teaching the new ITES
standards beginning 2011-12.• Media Coordinators and Technology Facilitators, as ITES
content experts, will collaborate with teachers to plan, create, teach, and assess effective lessons.
• The ITES must be taught in all NC schools-whether technology access and use is advanced or limited.
• Technology and Information tools and resources must be presented and applied with relevance and authenticity.
• These Essential Standards are to be used by
ESL AND content/subject area teachers of English Language Learners.

Things to Come from GCS• Curriculum Maps• Power Standards• PD aligned to Common Core and Pedagogy• Common Core/Essential Standards Professional
Development—5 days throughout school year• Online Professional Development• NC Falcon• Quarterly Grade/Subject Specific Meetings
Implications for Teachers• Must shift from teaching TOPICS to teaching
CONCEPTS• Can’t wait for assessments to get here before we start
implementing CC/ES.• Embrace best teaching strategies now! This is not a
case of “This too shall pass.”• Create classroom environment where thinking is
encouraged.• PLCs are vital to the success of the CC/ES rollout.
Later Today….• This afternoon, you will have the opportunity
to dig deeper into your specific grade level and content areas and begin to develop an understanding of what Common Core and Essential Standards mean to you!
