21ST CENTURY LEARNERS
What are the skills and understandings you believe a twenty-first century literate person needs to have?
The Vision of the WritersStudents who meet the Standards:
• Readily undertake the close, attentive reading that is at the heart of understanding and enjoying great works of literature.
• Habitually perform the critical reading necessary to pick carefully through the staggering amount of information available today in print and digitally.
• Actively seek the wide, deep, and thoughtful engagement with high-quality literary and informational texts that builds knowledge, enlarges experience, and broadens worldviews.
• Reflexively demonstrate the cogent reasoning and use of evidence that is essential to both private deliberation and responsible citizenship in a democratic society.
Who’s in?
The Standards• Fewer, clearer, more rigorous• Aligned with college readiness expectations• Include rigorous content and application of
knowledge through higher order thinking skills
• Built upon strengths and lessons of current state standards
• Internationally benchmarked so that all students are prepared to achieve in a global society
• Evidence and/or research based

Individual CCR anchor standards can be identified by their strand, CCR status, and
number (R.CCR.6, for example).
Individual grade-specific standards can be identified by their strand, grade, and number, so
that RI.4.3, for example, stands for Reading, Informational Text, grade 4, standard 3.
W.5.1a stands for Writing, grade 5, standard 1a.

6 Shifts in ELA/Literacy
Balancing Informational and Literary Text
Building Knowledge in the Disciplines
Staircase of Complexity
Text-based Answers
Writing from Sources
Academic Vocabulary
Shift One: A 50/50 split on the use of informational text and literary text
Shift Two: Literacy across content learning is fundamental
ELA/Literacy Shift 1: Balancing Informational and Literary TextWhat the Student Does… What the Teacher Does… What the Principal Does…
•Build background knowledge to increase reading skill•Exposure to the world through reading•Apply strategies to reading informational text.
•Provide students equal #s of informational and literary texts•Ensure coherent instruction about content•Teach strategies for informational texts•Teach “through” and “with” informational texts•Scaffold for the difficulties that informational text present to students•Ask students, “What is connected here? How does this fit together? What details tell you that? “
•Purchase and provide equal amounts of informational and literacy text to students•Hold teachers accountable for building student content knowledge through text•Provide PD and co-planning opportunities for teachers to become more intimate with non fiction texts and the way they spiral together
ELA/Literacy Shift 2: 6-12 Knowledge in the Disciplines
What the Student Does… What the Teacher Does… What the Principal Does…•Become better readers by building background knowledge•Handle primary source documents with confidence•Infer, like a detective, where the evidence is in a text to support an argument or opinion•See the text itself as a source of evidence (what did it say vs. what did it not say?)
•Shift identity: “I teach reading.”•Stop referring and summarizing and start reading•Slow down the history and science classroom•Teach different approaches for different types of texts •Treat the text itself as a source of evidence•Teach students to write about evidence from the text•Teach students to support their opinion with evidence.•Ask : “How do you know? Why do you think that? Show me in the text where you see evidence for your opinion. “
•Support and demand the role of all teachers in advancing students’ literacy•Provide guidance and support to ensure the shift to informational texts for 6-12•Give teachers permission to slow down and deeply study texts with students
Shift Three: Text Complexity Matters
Shift Four: Text Dependent Questions
ELA/Literacy Shift 3: Staircase of ComplexityWhat the Student Does… What the Teacher Does… What the Principal Does…
•Read to see what more they can find and learn as they re-read texts again and again•Read material at own level to build joy of reading and pleasure in the world•Be persistent despite challenges when reading; good readers tolerate frustration
•Ensure students are engaged in more complex texts at every grade level•Engage students in rigorous conversation•Provide experience with complex texts•Give students less to read, let them re-read•Use leveled texts carefully to build independence in struggling readers•More time on more complex texts•Provide scaffolding• Engage with texts w/ other adults•Get kids inspired and excited about the beauty of language
•Ensure that complexity of text builds from grade to grade. •Look at current scope and sequence to determine where/how to incorporate greater text complexity•Allow and encourage teachers to build a unit in a way that has students scaffold to more complex texts over time•Allow and encourage teachers the opportunity to share texts with students that may be at frustration level
ELA/Literacy Shift 4: Text Based Answers
What the Student Does…
What the Teacher Does…
What the Principal Does…
•Go back to text to find evidence to support their argument in a thoughtful, careful, precise way•Develop a fascination with reading•Create own judgments and become scholars, rather than witnesses of the text •Conducting reading as a close reading of the text and engaging with the author and what the author is trying to say
•Facilitate evidence based conversations with students, dependent on the text•Have discipline about asking students where in the text to find evidence, where they saw certain details, where the author communicated something, why the author may believe something; show all this in the words from the text. •Plan and conduct rich conversations about the stuff that the writer is writing about.•Keep students in the text•Identify questions that are text-dependent, worth asking/exploring, deliver richly, •Provide students the opportunity to read the text, encounter references to another text, another event and to dig in more deeply into the text to try and figure out what is going on. •Spend much more time preparing for instruction by reading deeply.
•Allow teachers the time to spend more time with students writing about the texts they read- and to revisit the texts to find more evidence to write stronger arguments.•Provide planning time for teachers to engage with the text to prepare and identify appropriate text-dependent questions.•Create working groups to establish common understanding for what to expect from student writing at different grade levels for text based answers. •Structure student work protocols for teachers to compare student work products; particularly in the area of providing evidence to support arguments/conclusions.
Shift Five: More Emphasis on Writing Arguments with Evidence
Shift Six: A Greater Emphasis on Academic Vocabulary
ELA/Literacy Shift 5: Writing from SourcesWhat the Student Does… What the Teacher Does… What the Principal Does…
•Begin to generate own informational texts
•Expect that students will generate their own informational texts (spending much less time on personal narratives)•Present opportunities to write from multiple sources about a single topic. •Give opportunities to analyze, synthesize ideas across many texts to draw an opinion or conclusion.•Find ways to push towards a style of writing where the voice comes from drawing on powerful, meaningful evidence.•Give permission to students to start to have their own reaction and draw their own connections.
•Build teacher capacity and hold teachers accountable to move students towards informational writing
ELA/Literacy Shift 6: Academic VocabularyWhat the Student Does… What the Teacher Does… What the Principal Does…•Spend more time learning words across “webs” and associating words with others instead of learning individual, isolated vocabulary words.
•Develop students’ ability to use and access words that show up in everyday text and that may be slightly out of reach•Be strategic about the kind of vocabulary you’re developing and figure out which words fall into which categories- tier 2 vs. tier 3•Determine the words that students are going to read most frequently and spend time mostly on those words•Teach fewer words but teach the webs of words around it •Shift attention on how to plan vocabulary meaningfully using tiers and transferability strategies
•Provide training to teachers on the shift for teaching vocabulary in a more meaningful, effective manner.

The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for
College and Careers
Benefits:• Assessment is distributed across the year to provide
teachers information on their students’ performance at key points during the year, allowing them to adjust instruction and target interventions before it’s too late
• Results will be returned quickly so they are useful to schools
• Through-course assessments will feature rich performance tasks that will signal the kinds of student performance and instructional strategies called for by the CCSS
* Through-Course 4 is only in ELA, and will assess Speaking/Listening. This will be required but not part of summative score – could be used for course grades.

3. How things develop through the text
4. Interpreting words, phrases and meaning
5. How the text is organized
6. Point of view
7. Evaluating the content
8. Evaluate arguments and claims
9. Compare two or more texts
10. Read text at grade level
UNPACKING LEARNING STANDARDS
STANDARD: RCCR1Read closely to determine what the text says
explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to
support conclusions drawn from text.
• CONCEPTS (nouns) what the students should know.
• SKILLS (verbs) what the students should be able to do.
