Statistics to keep in mind…
We must have teachers’ involvement for the implementation of the standards to work. Why? …53,000 dropouts in NC … …$14 billion in lost wages and productivity in one
class… …$492 million in medical care
•This also means that a reduction of the male dropout rate by 5% could save as much as $233 million dollars a year

What are the Common Core State Standards?
Aligned with college and work expectationsFocused and coherent Include rigorous content and application of knowledge
through high-order skillsBuild upon strengths and lessons of current state standards Internationally benchmarked so that all students are
prepared to succeed in our global economy and societyBased on evidence and researchState led – coordinated by NGA Center and CCSSO
Why is this important?
Currently, every state has its own set of academic standards, meaning public education students in each state are learning to different levels
All students must be prepared to compete with not only their American peers in the next state, but with students from around the world
Intentional Design Limitations
What the Standards do NOT define:
How teachers should teach
All that can or should be taught
The nature of advanced work beyond the core
The interventions needed for students well below grade level
The full range of support for English language learners and students with special needs
Everything needed to be college and career ready
Literacy StandardsThe Common Core State Standards acknowledge
the importance of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language in all subjects, not just English Language Arts.
The Common Core includes literacy standards specific to content areas essential for a well-rounded education, including:
History/Social Studies
Science
CTE subjects
What does this mean for content area teachers?
Skilled teachers trained in a specific discipline are best positioned to teach students how to read, understand, listen, speak, and write about their fields.
The college and career readiness expectations in Common Core reinforce the importance of literacy content area standards as reading and writing are critical to building content knowledge in a range of disciplines and contexts
It is important to note that the 6-12 literacy standards in history/social studies, science, and CTE subjects are not meant to replace content standards in those areas but rather to supplement them.
