  3. The CCSS Requires Six Shifts in English/Language Arts Balancing Informational and Literary Text Knowledge in the Disciplines Staircase of Complexity Text-based Answers Writing from Sources Academic Vocabulary

  4. What will this means for students? Students read a true balance of informational and literary texts. Students build knowledge about the world (domains/ content areas) through TEXT rather than the teacher or activities. Students read the central, grade appropriate text around which instruction is centered.  Teachers are patient, create more time and space and support in the curriculum for close reading. Students engage in rich and rigorous evidence based conversations about text. Writing emphasizes use of evidence from sources to inform or make an argument. Students constantly build the transferable vocabulary they need to access grade level complex texts. This can be done effectively by spiraling like content in increasingly complex texts.

  5. How can parents help? Encourage reading with family members and at home Expose your child to many different kinds of non-fiction text Prompt them in these ways… • What did the author teach you? • Where in the words or pictures did you learn that? • What do you think are the main ideas of this book?

  6. The CCSS Requires Three Shifts in Mathematics Focus: Focus strongly where the standards focus. Coherence: Think across grades, and linkto major topics Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency,andapplication

  7. Standards for Mathematical Practice Changing how math is taught

  8. What will this mean for students? • Engage in fewer topics, but have more time to build a deep understanding of those topics. • Students will be expected to develop expertise with mathematical practices. Teachers will provide opportunities which allow for critical thinking, critiquing the reasoning of others, modeling the mathematics, develop multiple points of entry for solving problems, and to preserve. • Students will not be completing all parts of Everyday Math journals • Students, in general, will become better problem-solvers • Student will be better prepared for algebra • Students will be able to access higher level mathematics, beyond algebra

  9. How can parents help? • Talk about situations in which you use math in everyday life • Play lots of games involving numbers and/or logic, such as: card games, dominoes, chess, and dice games • Learn about math related careers • Support homework, don’t do it • Check with your child’s teacher to see what more specifically would be helpful

  10. New Progress Report • Same timeline • Some standards are merged together to get a rating • There will no longer be letter grades
