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
