  4. What is the Common Core (CCSS)? • The Common Core State Standards are the English Language Arts Content Standards adopted by the State of Minnesota in 2010. They will be tested in 2013.

  5. So, why should you care? • In support of reaching your content Standards the CCSS provide a clear framework for reading and writing in your content area through the Literacy Strands. • What’s a Literacy Strand? • The literacy strands are based on what students need to be career and college ready • Literacy strands MUST be addressed in all content areas • They illustrate the importance of the value of all content areas in the education of students

  6. Aligned Learning • Literacy strands of the CCSS support, individual content needs, teacher creativity and aligned learning through common “I can”statements, rubrics and products. • “I can” statements are the Standards unwrapped in student friendly language.

  7. Common Products • All courses should complete at least one of the following at least once each term • Written response to journal article, procedural manual and/or current event • Written response or abstract to an experiment, investigation, or original work • Research project (increasing in length and complexity) • Test (including short answer or essay questions supported by evidence) • The Arts ECA template has been revised to include a section to define how the task or assessment connects with the ECA learning target • Common Products may be included as formative or summative portions of an ECA

  8. Content Areas • It’s important to note that CCSS includes the: • “expansion of the definition of text to include non-traditional texts such as paintings, sculptures, dances, charts, graphs, tables and maps among others.”
