Common Core in 3 Minutes
A Shift in Focus
Principles of the CCSS
Fewer - Clearer - Higher
– Focused, coherent, clear and rigorous
– Internationally benchmarked
– Anchored in college and career readiness*
– Evidence- and research-based
Common Core is a set of standards
Common Core Require a Shift from….

Readiness for All
College and Career Ready Students
• Establish independence• Acquire a strong content knowledge base• Adapt communication to audience, task,
purpose or discipline• Comprehend, critique and question• Cite and evaluate evidence• Use technology and digital media thoughtfully• Understand other perspectives and cultures
National Governors Association/Chief State School Officers (2010)
PARCCThe Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers
Common assessments aligned to the Common Core in Grades 3-5
Performance-Based Assessment (PBA) • Administered in March• The ELA/literacy PBA will focus on writing effectively when analyzing text• The mathematics PBA will focus on applying skills, concepts, and
understandings to solve multi-step problems requiring abstract reasoning, precision, perseverance, and strategic use of tools
End-of-Year Assessment (EOY) • Administered in May.• The ELA/literacy EOY will focus on reading comprehension.• The math EOY will be comprised of machine-scorable items
Growth Model for student Achievement
Three Shifts inEnglish/Language Arts
Engage in Complex TextExtract and Employ Evidence
Build Knowledge
The CCSS Shifts Build Toward College and Career Readiness for All Students
Regular practice with complex text and its academic language
– Exposure to Complex Texts: Quantitative, Qualitative, and Reader Tasks
– Close Reading: read repeatedly with a clear purpose in mind
– Use of Academic Language
Engage with Complex
Text
Reading and writing grounded in evidence from text, literary
and informational– Right and Wrong vs. How do you know?– What support from the text can you find as
evidence?
Extract and Employ
Evidence
Building knowledge through content rich nonfiction
– Topics or Themes: Students can build on prior knowledge
– Critical Thinkers
Build Knowledge
Three Shifts in MathFocus, Coherence, Rigor
FocusTeach less, learn more
• Put in clusters vs. scope and sequence
Clusters were created to identify what skills 75% of our time should be spent.
Scope and Sequence describes all the skills that are taught and practiced throughout the text book.
The curriculum is defined by the Common Core Standards, not the Math in Focus text books.
CoherenceMath should make sense
1. Make sense of problems and persevere.2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning
of others.4. Model with mathematics5. Use appropriate tools strategically.6. Attend to precision.7. Look for and make use of structure.8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
RigorMath is a balance of concept, process, skill, and
answers
• What this looks like in third grade– PARCC journals– Problem solving focus– Answering in sentences– Speed– Defending answers– Explaining to others
What Are We Doing?
• Common Core Communicator Series• Coffee and Common Core Sessions
