Introduction: English Language Arts Standards (ELA) StandardsGRADES 11-12

The CFSD Standards for English Language Arts (ELA) & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects (“the Standards”) reflect the 2010 Arizona Standards adopted by the State Board of Education on June 28, 2010. These standards are the Common Core Standards, created to ensure that all students are college and career ready in literacy no later than the end of high school. They are the intended results we envision for our 21st century graduates.

The ELA Standards are designed so that students achieve proficiency in a continuum of K-12 articulated content and skills. They designate clearly what students are expected to know and be able to do by the end of each grade level and high school course. Although the Standards are divided into Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language strands for conceptual clarity, the processes of communication are closely connected, as reflected throughout this document. Research and media skills are blended into the Standards as a whole. To be ready for college, workforce training, and life in a technological society, students need the ability to gather, comprehend, evaluate, synthesize, and report on information and ideas, to conduct original research in order to answer questions or solve problems, and to analyze and create a high volume and extensive range of print and non-print texts in media forms old and new. The need to conduct research and to produce and consume media is embedded into every aspect of today’s curriculum. In like fashion, research and media skills and understandings are embedded throughout the Standards rather than treated in a separate section.

The Standards for English Language Arts (ELA) & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects set requirements not only for English language arts (ELA) but also for literacy in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects. Just as students must learn to read, write, speak, listen, and use language effectively in a variety of content areas, so too must the Standards specify the literacy skills and understandings required for college and career readiness in multiple disciplines. Literacy standards for Grades 11-12 and above are predicated on teachers of ELA, history/social studies, science, and technical subjects using their content area expertise to help students meet the particular challenges of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language in their respective fields. It is important to note that the 6–12 literacy standards in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects are not meant to replace content standards in those areas, but rather to supplement them.

The CFSD English Language Arts Standards form the core of every student’s ability to function effectively in society. The demand for literacy skills in the workplace is high. Our students will need a wide repertoire of communication strategies and skills to succeed as learners, citizens, workers, and fulfilled individuals in the 21st century.

Key Features of the ELA StandardsReading: Text complexity and the growth of comprehensionThe Reading standards place equal emphasis on the sophistication of what students read and the skill with which they read. Standard 10 (Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity) defines a grade-by-grade staircase” of increasing text complexity that rises from beginning reading to the college and career readiness level. Whatever they are reading, students must also show a steadily growing ability to discern more from and make fuller use of text, including making an increasing number of connections among ideas and between texts, considering a wider range of textual evidence, and becoming more sensitive to inconsistencies, ambiguities, and poor reasoning in texts.

Writing: Text types, responding to reading, and researchThe Standards acknowledge the fact that whereas some writing skills, such as the ability to plan, revise, edit, and publish, are applicable to many types of writing, other skills are more properly defined in terms of specific writing types: arguments, informative/explanatory texts, and narratives. Standard 9 (Integration of Knowledge and Ideas) stresses the importance of the writing-reading connection by requiring students to draw upon and write about evidence from literary and informational texts. Because of the centrality of writing to most forms of inquiry, research standards are prominently included in this strand, though skills important to research are infused throughout the document.

Speaking and Listening: Flexible communication and collaborationIncluding but not limited to skills necessary for formal presentations, the Speaking and Listening standards require students to develop a range of broadly useful oral communication and interpersonal skills. Students must learn to work together, express and listen carefully to ideas, integrate information from oral, visual, quantitative, and media sources, evaluate what they hear, use media and visual displays strategically to help achieve communicative purposes, and adapt speech to context and task.

Language: Conventions, effective use, and vocabularyThe Language standards include the essential “rules” of standard written and spoken English, but they also approach language as a matter of craft and informed choice among alternatives. The vocabulary standards focus on understanding words and phrases, their relationships, and their nuances and on acquiring new vocabulary, particularly general academic and domain-specific words and phrases.

The Grades 11-12 standards on the following pages define what students should understand and be able to do, and correspond to the College and Career Readiness (CCR) anchor standards by number. The CCR and grade-specific standards are necessary complements—the former providing broad standards, the latter providing additional specificity—that together define the skills and understandings that all students must demonstrate.
