What should I know about the Common Core What should I know about the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)?State Standards (CCSS)?

• a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO).

• knowledge and skills students should have so that they will graduate from high school being “college and career-ready”

• English-language arts and math

What should I know about Common What should I know about Common Core State Standards (CCSS)?Core State Standards (CCSS)?

• The Standards are based on international models, research and Input from state departments of education, scholars, assessment developers, professional organizations, educators, parents, and students.

• There were successive drafts and numerous rounds of feedback

• The Standards are aligned with college and work expectations.

What should I know about Common What should I know about Common Core State Standards (CCSS)?Core State Standards (CCSS)?

•The Standards are “fewer, deeper, clearer.” •Students will be assessed on the FCAT 2.0 (based on NGSS) through the spring of 2014.

•Florida’s adoption of Common Core includes implementation of the content area literacy standards.

•Florida State Board Rule includes Next Generation Content Area Professional Development (NGCARPD) for content area teachers which sets the stage for Common Core content area literacy standards.

•The first assessments created by PARCC (Partnership for Assessment for College and Careers) will be administered in 2014-2015.

What are the PARCC Assessments?What are the PARCC Assessments?

The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) is a 24-state consortium working together to develop a common set of K-12 assessments in English and math that measure Common Core State Standards.

The PARCC assessments will be ready for states to administer during the 2014-15 school year.

PARCC is contracting with two research universities to develop models of innovative, online-delivered items and rich performance tasks proposed for use in the PARCC assessments.

A Sample Performance Item Based on CCSSA Sample Performance Item Based on CCSS

Read the excerpt from Churchill’s speech to Parliament. Consider the following performance task:

Trace the line of argument in Winston Churchill’s “Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat” address to Parliament and evaluate his specific claims and opinions in the text, distinguishing which claims are supported by facts, reasons, and evidence, and which are not. [LACC.68.RI.6.8]

Can you unpack this task?

2. Teachers learn a routine (CIS Model) for helping students navigate complex texts in their subject area.

3. Implementation of Practicum provides site-based professional learning communities for collaboration and sharing.

First things first.First things first.1. It can’t be business as usual. Teachers must dig in to learn

the standards. It is only through the work that teachers will learn.

2. Use the Common Core Standards and the appendices with exemplar texts, sample performance items, and student writing samples for school-based learning activities.

3. Train teacher leaders in departments and use them to facilitate discussions about instruction tailored to the high demands of Common Core.

Model Content FrameworksModel Content FrameworksThe PARCC Model Content Frameworks were

developed by ELA content experts in PARCC member states and members of the Common Core State Standards writing team.

The Model Content Frameworks are voluntary resources offered by PARCC to help curriculum developers and teachers as they work to implement the standards in their states and districts.

need, i.e. conventions and support in FCAT writing and Common Core Writing Standards, especially argument writing.

2. Identification and training of school-based instructional leaders in ELA/Literacy standards and the development of appropriate instruction
