Common Core State Standards History of Common Core State Standards for ELA & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects Demonstrate Independence Come to understand other perspectives and cultures. Build Strong content knowledge Use technology and digital media strategically and capably Respond to the Varying Demands of audience, task, purpose, and discipline Value evidence Comprehend as well as critique What are the Common Core State Standards? The standards were written to ensure that our students are: •meeting college and career expectations; •provided a vision of what it means to be an academically literate person in the twenty-first century; •prepared to succeed in our global economy and society; and •provided with rigorous content and applications of higher knowledge through higher order thinking skills. This means our students must master even more rigorous content and be prepared to apply that content to succeed. Benefits Internationally Benchmarked Evidence and Research Based Expectations clear to students, parents, teachers, and the general public Consistent expectations for all Greater clarity and coherency across grade spans Reading -- Attention to text complexity -- Balance of literature and informational texts Writing -- Emphasis on argument and informative/ explanatory writing -- Academic vocabulary Speaking and Listening -- Inclusion of formal and informal communication -- Integrates media sources across the standards Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning Look for and make use of structure Reason abstractly and quantitatively The Eight Standards for Mathematical Practice place an emphasis on student demonstrations of learning that describe the thinking processes, habits of mind, and dispositions that students need to develop. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others Model with mathematics Attend to precision Use appropriate tools strategically Math Processes Concepts and Procedures Problem Solving Communicating Reasoning Modeling and Data Analysis 3+4= Assessments •Begin in 2014-2015 •Computer Adaptive Assessments •Performance Assessments •Selected Response •Constructed Response •Extended Performance Assessments The 4 C’s • • • • Collaboration Critical Thinking Creativity Communication Above and Beyond Collaboration • the act of working with another or others on a joint project • something created by working jointly with another or others Critical Thinking • the mental process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information to reach an answer or conclusion Creativity • the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.; originality, progressiveness, or imagination Communication • the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs. • something imparted, interchanged, or transmitted.
