Key Shifts for Math and Literacy

Common Core Six Key Shifts in ELA

• Balancing Informational and Literary Text

• Building Knowledge in the Disciplines

• Growing the Staircase of Complexity

• Requiring Text-Based Answers

• Writing from Sources

• Building Academic Vocabulary

Common Core Key Shifts in ELA: 1 & 2

Increased Informational TextVS.Literary Text

Impact on elementary classroom 50% of reading must be using informational text(K-5) 60% (6 -8)60% by Grade 12

Content area teachers outside of the ELA classroom emphasize literacy experiences in their planning andinstruction.

Text Complexity at ALL Grades

Students must “step” up to reading grade appropriate text.

Scaffold students to success

Common Core

14

Building Knowledge in the Disciplines

All content area teachers plan for literacy experiences and strategies in their instruction

Students learn through domain-specific texts in science and social studies classrooms –

Text Based Conversations and Answers

Encouraging students in rigorous conversations dependent on text

Making evidenced based arguments in conversation and in writing

Key Shifts in ELA: 3 & 4

Common Core

Writing from Sources

Emphasis on evidence to inform or make an argument

Argument rather than the personal narrative

Academic Vocabulary Development

Building vocabulary to access increasingly complex texts

Build the vocabulary they need to access grade level complex texts

Key Shifts in Mathematics: #4, 5, & 6

Deep Understanding & Application

• access concepts from numerous perspectives to solve problems

• strategic thinking to solve • “real World” situations

Dual Intensity • A balance of intensity in both content and practice

• Opportunities for Drill to reinforce the foundational skills that will be used for extended application
