Social Studies and the CCRS

1. Social Studies and the CCRS David. A Johnson Social Studies Consultant Northern Michigan Learning Consortium David.johnson@wmisd.org Prepared November 2011

2. Introductions • Northern Michigan Learning Consortium • E-Mail Lists • Upcoming training dates • Time Machine

3. Time Machine • Take a minute to think…if you could go back to any historical time period, where would you go? • Why would you want to go there? • Would you want to be born there or just visit? • Would you want to stay? • Why?

4. Time Machine Wrap Up • Writing Standard 1 asks us to: • Write and support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence by: • Organizing the reasons and evidence clearly • Supporting claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence using credible sources and demonstrating an understanding of the topic or text • Use words, phrases, and clauses to clarify the relationships among claims and reasons • Establish and maintain a formal style • Provide a concluding statement that follows the argument presented. We didn’t hit all the points here, but…how could we have changed it to meet the evidence and conclusion piece?

5. Goals and Objectives for today: • You will be able to • …describe how the Career and College Readiness Standards apply to Social Studies • …identify how several of the Core Standards could be used in your own classrooms starting tomorrow • …understand how the literacy piece fits into the Social Studies classroom • Rate your knowledge coming in today…

6. What Is The Common Core? • New literacy standards adopted by Michigan and many other states. • Based around College and Career Readiness Standards. • Replace GLCE/HSCE in English/Language Arts and Math • Add to GLCE/HSCE in all other subjects.

7. What Is The Common Core? • End of grade expectations • Same 10 anchor standards at every grade level. • Varying degrees of complexity depending on which level

8. What Is The Common Core? • “Students advancing through the grades are expected to meet each year’s grade-specific standards, retain or further develop skills and understandings mastered in preceding grades, and work steadily toward meeting the more general expectations described by the CCR standards.” • Grade level in Kindergarten-5th grade • Grade Spans for 6-8, 9-10, 11-12

9. What Is The Common Core? • Texts and programs not prescribed/spelled out • Teacher is free to bring materials into their curriculum as they see fit. • Key comes in Text Complexity

10. All K-5 Teachers • 10 Reading Standards – Narrative Text • 10 Reading Standards – Informational Text • 10 Writing Standards • 6 Speaking and Listening Standards • 6 Whole Language

11. What About The Other Subjects? http://www.youtube.com/user/TheHuntInstitute#p/c/9F9C431FF82A15B5/5/1zHWMfg_8r0

12. Science, Social Studies, and other Subjects 6-12 • The Standards insist that instruction in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language be a shared responsibility within the school • 10 Reading Standards (6-8), (9-10), (11-12) • 10 Writing Standards (6-8), (9-10), (11-12)

13. The 6 Shifts • Increase in Non-Fiction texts • Content Area Literacy • Increased Text Complexity • Focus on Text Based Questioning • Argumentative Writing • Academic Vocabulary

14. What The Standards Aren’t • 1.The Standards define what all students are expected to know and be able to do, not how teachers should teach • 2. While the Standards focus on what is most essential, they do not describe all that can or should be taught • 3. The Standards do not define the nature of advanced work for students who meet the Standards prior to the end of high school.

15. What The Standards Aren’t • 4. The Standards set grade-specific standards but do not define the intervention methods or materials necessary to support students who are well below or well above grade-level expectations.

16. Resources to Help • MC3 • NMLC Wiki

17. 6 Shifts Activity • Number off 1-6 • Each group is going to be given a “shift” • In groups, you will work collaboratively to build a list of ways Social Studies can help meet this new requirement. • Lists will be compiled together and sent out to all participants

18. 6 Shifts Activity Wrap Up • Writing Standard 7 asks us to: • Conduct short research projects to answera question, drawing on several sources and generating additional related, focused questions for further research and investigation. • How well did we hit this one? What could we tweak?

19. Pre-Break check in… • Questions? • Door Prizes

20. Break! • Be back in 15 minutes!

21. GLCE/HSCE vs CCRS • The standards do not replace your GLCE/HSCE in Social Studies. • They can help focus activities that relate to GLCE/HSCE you’re already teaching
