Provide:
• Information about Common Core State Standards• Opportunities for Practice
Build strong content knowledge.Respond to the varying demands of audience, task, purpose, and discipline.Comprehend as well as critique.Value evidence.Use technology and digital media strategically and capably.Come to understand other perspectives and cultures.
Why are the standards changing?The Goal of Common Core is to Prepare Students to be College and Career Ready Upon Graduation
Why are the standards changing?• Provide rigor for all groups of students• To ensure students are better prepared for a global
economy. • To engage all students in the learning process.• The old focus was on facts and memorization. The new
focus is on teaching students higher level thinking skills.
Shared Responsibility for Students’ Literacy Development
• “The Standards insist that instruction in reading, speaking, listening, and language be a shared responsibility within the school” (p. 4).
• “This division reflects 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” (p. 4).
Adapted from “Key Design Considerations” (page 4 of the Standards)
