Why Are We Here?
In table groups, the participants will share:
Who they are and where they work.
Their purpose and plan for attending today’s workshop on Common Core State Standards
Then as a group:
Determine common theme from purposes shared at your table.
Determine a spokesperson to share common theme with the large group.

The Common Core State Standards Initiative
Beginning in the spring of 2009, Governors and state commissioners of education from 48 states, 2 territories and the District of Columbia committed to developing a common core of state K-12 English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics standards.
The Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI) is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO).
The Michigan State Board of Education formally adopted the Common Core State Standards for mathematics and English language arts on June 15, 2010.
www.corestandards.org
These standards are NOT intended to be new names for old ways of doing business. They are a call to take the next step.

Why Common Standards?
• Focus as a nation on College and Career Readiness (CCR)
• Need a common definition of CCR and K-12 Progression to CCR
• Variation in achievement levels on NAEP vs. State Assessments (Inflated proficiency levels)
• Next step in a progression for Michigan (NCLB, GLCE, HSCE, MMC, ACT, MEAP/MME)

Complex Text
• Performance on complex texts is the clearest differentiator in reading between students who are likely to be ready for college and those who are not.
• And this is true for both genders, all racial/ethnic groups, and all annual family income levels.

Overview of Text ComplexityAppendix A (p. 4-6)
Reading Standards include exemplar texts (stories and literature, poetry, and informational texts) that illustrate appropriate level of complexity by grade (Appendix B)Text complexity is defined by
Qual

e
1. Qualitative measures – levels of meaning, structure, language conventionality and clarity, and knowledge demands Quantitative
1. Quantitative measures – readability and other scores of text complexity
Reader and Task
1. Reader and Task – background knowledge of reader, motivation, interests, and complexity generated by tasks assigned

Everyone should have a copy of Appendix A and Participant Worksheet.
Reflect upon a challenging college class or subject and discuss what made the class or subject difficult.
Everyone reviews Appendix A pages 1-9 which explains the research and the issue of text complexity. Focus the discussion on the question below.
Discussion question: What are the three most important ideas for colleagues to know and why?

Activity # 3
Jigsaw activity for the other ELA standards in Appendix A.
At each table, assign responsibility for reading the sections below. (Make sure all sections are read.)
• Foundational Skills (pp. 17-22)

Activity # 3
All group members should first read their strand silently and then discuss and reach a consensus on what the big ideas (refer to the discussion question above).
Each group should present they think are important things to know about the assigned literacy strand. (When presenting, remember no other groups will have read the section you have just read.)
Further discussion: What are the implications of this information for curriculum, instruction, and assessment?

Example of Grade-Level Progression in Reading
CCR Reading Standard 3: Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and interact over the course of a text.
Reading Standards for Literature Reading Standards for Informational Text
Grade 3: Describe characters in a story (e.g., their traits, motivations, or feelings) and explain how their actions contribute to the sequence of events.
Grade 3: Describe the relationships between a series of historical events, scientific ideas of concepts, or steps in technical procedures in a text, using language that pertains to time, sequence, and cause/effect.
Grade 7: Analyze how particular elements of a story or drama interact (e.g., how setting shapes the characters or plot)
Grade 7: Analyze the interactions between individuals, events, and ideas in a text (e.g., how ideas influence individuals or events, or how individuals influence ideas or events).
Grades 11-12: Evaluate various explanations for characters’ actions or for events and determine which explanation best accords with textual evidence, acknowledging where the text leaves matters uncertain.
Grades 11-12: Analyze a complex set of ideas or sequence of events and explain how specific individuals, ideas, or events interact and develop over the course of the text.
