COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS INITIATIVE March 2011

The Common Core State Standards Initiative, launched in March 2011, aims to establish clear and consistent educational standards for K-12 students in English language arts and mathematics. These standards focus on essential learning expectations, emphasizing alignment with college and career readiness. Designed based on evidence and research, they prioritize fewer and clearer criteria, ensuring students gain strong foundational knowledge and high-order skills. The initiative underwent multiple feedback rounds, incorporating input from educators and stakeholders, ensuring the standards support all learners, including English language learners and students with disabilities.

  1. COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS INITIATIVE March 2011

  2. What do you know about the common core standards?

  3. Overview of the Initiative State-led and developed common core standards for K-12 in English/language arts and mathematics Focus on learning expectations for students, not how students get there.

  4. Criteria for the Standards • Fewer, clearer, and higher • Aligned with college and work expectations • Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills • Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards • Internationally benchmarked, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society • Based on evidence and research

  5. Standards Development Process • College and career readiness standards developed in summer 2009 • Based on the college and career readiness standards, K-12 learning progressions developed • Multiple rounds of feedback from states, teachers, and feedback group and validation committee. • Groups representing English language learners and students with disabilities were instrumental in developing the ELL and students with disabilities statements in the introduction to the standards. • Public comment period on K-12 standards ends April 2.

  6. ELA Standards Advances • what students read and how students read • progression based on evidence and anchored in the college and career readiness (CCR) • require a rich reading of literature as well as extensive reading in science, history/social studies, and other disciplines. • require certain critical content, including classic myths and stories from around the world, America’s Founding Documents, and foundational American literature. • require systematic develop knowledge of literature as well as knowledge in other disciplines through reading, writing, speaking, and listening in history/social studies and science

  7. Math Standards Advances • core conceptual understandings and procedures in order to teach core concepts and procedures well and give students the opportunity to master them • solid foundation in whole numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and decimals K-5 • hands on learning in geometry, algebra, probability, and statistics in 6-8 • applying mathematical ways of thinking to real world issues and challenges and emphasize mathematical modeling in high school

  8. The ELA Standards Same standards K-12 Spiral Become more complex

  9. SC Timeline

  10. The Good News Rigor and clarity Connections grade to grade Emphasis on non-fiction writing Interdisciplinary literature Dramatic increase in 6-8 rigor K reading and writing

  11. The Do’s Find common ground – current and common core (SDE) Use power standards – do them well Embrace common formative assessments Intergrade dialogue

  12. The Next Steps • Resources, tools, and time to adjust classroom practice • Instructional materials • Assessments • Build a plan for using the foundation we have built • Federal, state, and district policies will need to be reexamined to ensure they support alignment of the common core state standards with student achievement.
