  1. Common Core State Standards – The Shifts and What they May Mean for Summer Learning Sandra Alberti, Ed.D. Student Achievement Partners www.achievethecore.org Twitter: @achievethecore

  2. Where we are around the nation?

  3. Why are we doing this? We have had standards. Before Common Core State Standards we had standards, but rarely did we have standards-based instruction. Long lists of broad, vague statements Mysterious assessments Coverage mentality Focused on teacher behaviors – “the inputs”

  4. Principles of the CCSS Fewer - Clearer - Higher Aligned to requirements for college and career readiness Based on evidence Honest about time

  5. Implications What implications do the CCSS have on what we teach? What implications do the CCSS have on how we teach? This effort is about much more than implementing the next version of standards: It is about preparing all students for success in college and careers.

  6. ELA/Literacy: 3 shifts Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational

  7. What makes Casey’s experiences at bat humorous? What can you infer from King’sletter about the letter that he received? “The Gettysburg Address” mentions the year 1776. According to Lincoln’s speech, why is this year significant to the events described in the speech? Non-Examples and Examples Not Text-Dependent Text-Dependent In “Casey at the Bat,” Casey strikes out. Describe a time when you failed at something. In “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” Dr. King discusses nonviolent protest. Discuss, in writing, a time when you wanted to fight against something that you felt was unfair. In “The Gettysburg Address” Lincoln says the nation is dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Why is equality an important value to promote?

  8. Example? • EXAMPLES • James Watson used time away from his laboratory and a set of models similar to preschool toys to help him solve the puzzle of DNA. In an essay discuss how play and relaxation help promote clear thinking and problem solving.

  9. ELA/Literacy: 3 shifts Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational Regular practice with complex text and its academic language

  10. Mathematics: 3 shifts Focus: Focus strongly where the standards focus.

  11. Traditional U.S. Approach

  12. The shape of math in A+ countries Mathematics topics intended at each grade by at least two-thirds of A+ countries Mathematics topics intended at each grade by at least two-thirds of 21 U.S. states 1 Schmidt, Houang, & Cogan, “A Coherent Curriculum: The Case of Mathematics.” (2002).

  13. Priorities in Mathematics

  14. Mathematics: 3 shifts Focus: Focus strongly where the standards focus. Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics

  15. Mathematics: 3 shifts Focus: Focus strongly where the standards focus. Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application

  16. Conceptual understanding of place value…?

  17. Conceptual Understanding of Place Value

  18. Required Fluencies in K-6

  19. Mathematical Practices Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Model with mathematics. Use appropriate tools strategically. Attend to precision. Look for and make use of structure. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Don’t Bureaucratize

  20. Opportunities for Summer Programs Standards, not standardization The “Common” in Common Core State Standards Transition Requires Acceleration, More than Remediation Opportunity for Innovation
