•Overview of the CCLS

•6 Shifts for ELA and Math

•Connect to Professional Practice: NYS Teaching Standards

•Connect to Data Driven Instruction

Connections:Connecting the 6 Shifts to Current

Practice

• Develop skills of educators in connecting the CCLS to discrete learning opportunities and tasks in the classroom

Integration:Using the CCLS in

the Design of Classroom Curriculum,

Instruction and Assessment

•District Level: identify Power Standards; write curriculum; develop scope and sequence

•Classroom Level: develop standards-based plans and assessments; identify and implement standards-based teaching practices

THREE PRIORITIES OF PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

Cognitive Engagement

Constructivism

21st Century Skills

Intellectual involvement with the content is required

Minds-on learning

Simultaneous and continuous throughout the lesson

NOT “time on task”

PRIORITY 1: COGNITIVE ENGAGEMENT

Effective practice requires students to be cognitively engaged.

Highly Effective practice requires cognition, meta-cognition, and student ownership of their learning. Pe

PRIORITY 2: CONSTRUCTIVIST LEARNING

Effective and Highly Effective practice must have evidence of learning experiences designed to facilitate students’ construction of knowledge.

Shift 2

COHERENCE

Each concept in each grade…

builds upon what was…

taught before…

Learning is connected within and across gradesfor deep understanding

Memorization of simple calculationsand core functions.

Shift 4DEEP UNDERSTANDING

Teach more than how to get the answer

Learning can be applied to new situations

COMMON CORE SHIFTS ELA & CONTENT LITERACY

SHIFT 1

GradesPK-5

BALANCING INFORMATIONAL &

LITERARY TEXTS

Range of Text Types

Literature = Stories, Dramas,

Poetry

Informational = Literary

Nonfiction, Historical,

Scientific, & Technical Texts

50% fiction 50% nonfiction

40% fiction 60% nonfiction

20% fiction 80% nonfiction

4th grade

8th grade

12th grade

Increase in teaching

and learning with non-

fiction text

SHIFT 2

Grades6-12

KNOWLEDGE IN THE DISCIPLINES

Reading & Writing Literacy

Standards

• Complement, not replace content standards

Depending on text rather

than referring to it

• Read a president’s speech & write a response

• Read scientific papers & write an analysis

Think sophisticated

non-fiction

• Analyze and evaluate texts within disciplines

• Gain knowledge from texts that convey complex information through diagrams, charts, evidence, & illustrations

Expectation of rigorous

domain specific literacy

instruction outside of

ELA

STAIRCASE OF COMPLEXITY

SHIFT 4

TEXT-BASED ANSWERS

Questions tied directly to the text, but extend beyond the

literal

Students must cite

text to support answers

Personal opinions,

experiences, and

connections to the text

are minimized in favor of what

the text actually says

or doesn’t say

Questions are purposefully planned &

direct students to

closely examine the

text

SHIFT 5

WRITING FROM SOURCES

Three Text Types

Argument

Supporting a claim with sound reasoning and relevant evidenceInformational

/Explanatory Writing

Increase subject knowledge

Explain a process

Enhance comprehension

Narrative Writing

Conveys experience i.e. fictional stories, memoirs, anecdotes, autobiographies

Appendix C: Samples of

Student Writing

Argumentative writing is especially

prominent in the CCLS

SHIFT 6

ACADEMIC VOCABULARY

Tier One

Words

• Words of everyday speech

Tier Two

Words

• Not specific to any one academic area

• Generally not well-defined by context or explicitly defined within a text

• Wide applicability to many types of reading

Tier Three Words

• Domain specific• Low-frequency• Often explicitly defined • Heavily scaffolded

Ramp up instruction of Tier Two

words
