  2. Guidelines for the Day • Relax • Stay focused • Maintain one conversation • Look for the donut, not the hole • Expect to leave with some answers • Expect to leave with some questions and some ambiguities

  3. GETTING THE BIG PICTUREhttp://engageny.org/Common Core ELA/Literacyhttp://engageny.org/common-core/teachers-get-started-with-the-common-core/ Organizational differences between the 2005 ELA Standards and the Common Core ELA Standards http://engageny.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/side-by-side-comparison-ccls-and-2005-ela-curriculum.pdf

  4. Six Shifts in ELA/Literacy Shift 1: Balancing Informational and Literary Text Shift 2: Knowledge in the Disciplines Shift 3: Staircase of Complexity Shift 4: Text-Based Answers Shift 5: Writing From Sources Shift 6: Academic Vocabulary http://engageny.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/common-core-shifts.pdf

  5. Shift 1: Balancing Informational and Literary Text

  6. Shift 2: 6-12 Knowledge in the Disciplines

  7. Shift 3: Staircase of Complexity

  8. Shift 4: Text Based Answers

  9. Shift 5: Writing from Sources

  10. Shift 6: Academic Vocabulary Tier 1 Words: Known, common words; basic vocabulary e.g. happy, talk, cold Tier 2 Words: High frequency, high utility words; play a large role in verbal functioning across a variety of domains e.g. analyze, avoid, required, fortunate Tier 3 Words: Low frequency, technical words, often domain specific e.g. isotope, lathe, heparin

  11. Get Practical • SED and BOCES have generated Curriculum Unit exemplars to provide valuable support for implementing the Common Core State Standards. Some are further developed than others. • SED now has a “Tri-State Quality Review Rubric” for Lessons and Units for ELA/Literacy Grades 3 - 5 http://engageny.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Tri-State-ELA-Rubric-V2-Slides-04-12-2012.pdf

  12. Sample Common Core Unit • Grade 3 four/five day unit • Title is “Understanding cultural perspectives through literature” • Focuses on five Common Core Standards • Uses One Green Apple by Eve Bunting as the text for close reading

  13. Guidelines for the Unit • Designed to explicitly identify the teaching and learning for each day • Non-negotiable: close reading; balance of fiction and non-fiction; text-based evidence, writing from sources; vocabulary • Negotiable: implementation in terms of structure and timing • Guided Reading texts may differ by teacher • Common scoring of assessment tasks • Revisions to the unit, based on the Tri-State Rubric, will be gathered after implementation at the grade level • K – 5 ELA Leaders will review suggested revisions and make changes to improve the quality of the unit

  14. Your Task • Review the Tri-State Rubric • Read both texts for the unit • Read the unit • Review the unit in light of the Tri-State Rubric • In small groups, identify how well this unit meets the Rubric; Make suggestions for revisions, additions, deletions

  15. Common Core Summer Curriculum Work A team of 12 teachers (3 from each building) will work for two days generating a 3-4 day unit using each of following texts for a close read. Texts were selected by the K – 5 ELA Committee with grade level input. A Country Far Away by Nigel Gray Someday a Tree by Eve Bunting Velma Gratch and the Way Cool Butterfly by Alan Madison Monarch Butterflies by Gail Gibbons

  16. Next Steps • By the end of June, provide the curriculum writers in your building with any resources you think would be useful during the Curriculum Writing project. • Go to the Grade Level File Cabinet in the fall to access the Units.
