Implementing Common Core Standards Sandra Alberti Student Achievement Partners September 26, 2011 Overview • What needs to change – ELA/Literacy – Math • Suggested Action Steps for LEAs ELA/Literacy: 6 shifts 1. Balance of literature and informational text (K-5) 2. Literacy as part of science and social studies/history; informational text as part of ELA (6-12) 3. Appropriately complex text 4. Questions regarding text are text-dependent 5. Writing to inform or argue using evidence 6.
