Common Core State Standards

Our Students’ Future“… because knowledge is available on every Internet-connected device, what you know matters far less than what you can do with what you know.…”
Our Students’ Future“…The capacity to innovate — the ability to solve problems
creatively or bring new possibilities to life — &
skills like critical thinking, communication and
collaboration are far more important than academic
knowledge…”
Our Students’ Future“…As one executive told me, ‘We can teach new hires the content, and we will have to because it continues to change, but we can’t teach them how to think — to ask the right questions — and to take initiative.’ ”
Tony Wagner, Education Specialist, HarvardAuthor of Creating Innovators: The Making of
Young People Who Will Change the WorldSource: http://www.nytimes.com/
Rationale for the Common Core
Council of the Great City Schools
Background and Rationale of the Common Core State Standards
• Were developed by states as a collaborative initiative.
• Are informed by other top performing countries, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society. 6
Background and Rationale of the Common Core State Standards• Are aligned with college and career
expectations; • Are clear, understandable and
consistent; • Include rigorous application of
knowledge through high-order skills. 7
46 States Have Adopted the E/LA CCSS
August 2, 2010
California’s Common Core State Standards
• CCSS were adopted by the California Board of Education on August 2, 2010.
• The implementation of the Common Core is a multi-year effort due to the complexity, breadth, and totality of effort involved.

Common Core Causes SHIFTS in Education
What are the SHIFTS in how we teach?
Shifts Brought by the CCSS
• Emphasis on text-dependent questions and performance tasks
• Connect writing to reading with frequent opportunities to research information
• Provide literacy instruction in all content areas
13
Shifts Brought by the CCSS• Increase reading of informational
texts• Increased text complexity of
reading texts as measured by lexile level
• Focus on academic vocabulary within context of texts

Common Core Causes SHIFTS in Mathematics
Eight Mathematical Practices
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning
of others.4. Model with mathematics.5. 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.
