Common Core Standards Implementation ELA/Literacy and Mathematics ü Understand the Change ü Be the Change ü How to Change

6 -month objectives: ELA • Materials: Shift in what students are reading – within existing materials – Reading lists include a balance of literature and informational text • Teachers: Shift in student questions – Shift to 80% of questions asked as text-dependent • Students: Evidence of close reading – Close encounters with sufficiently complex text demonstrated through writing to inform or argue using evidence from text

Shift Checklist Informational Text/ Building the Informational Text Knowledge Base Building the Knowledge Base Staircase of Complexity Range and Quality Cultivating Students Ability to Read complex Texts Independently Reading Complex Texts w/ Fluency Text Based Answers/ Analysis High Quality Text Dependant Questions & Tasks Academic Discussions Writing from Sources Practice with Short, Focused Research Argument and Informational Writing Using Multimedia & Technology Grammar and Language Conventions Academic Vocabulary

6 -month objectives: Math • Materials: Focus – Clear indication of fewer concepts at each grade level represented by curriculum documents, district formative assessments • Teachers: Identify focus areas and fluencies of grade level – Shift in time spent on areas of in-depth instruction • Students: Demonstrated fluency and understanding – Display fluencies for the grade level and understand focus areas

Priorities in Mathematics Grade K– 2 3– 5 6 7 8 Priorities in Support of Rich Instruction and Expectations of Fluency and Conceptual Understanding Addition and subtraction, measurement using whole number quantities Multiplication and division of whole numbers and fractions Ratios and proportional reasoning; early expressions and equations Ratios and proportional reasoning; arithmetic of rational numbers Linear algebra

Math Areas of Priority

Mathematical Practices 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Key Fluencies Grade Required Fluency K Add/subtract within 5 1 Add/subtract within 10 Add/subtract within 20 2 3 Add/subtract within 100 (pencil and paper) Multiply/divide within 100 Add/subtract within 1000 4 Add/subtract within 1, 000 5 Multi-digit multiplication 6 Multi-digit division Multi-digit decimal operations 7 Solve px + q = r, p(x + q) = r 8 Solve simple 2 2 systems by inspection

MATH • Materials How to Get There – Focus • Teachers – Know deep understanding and fluencies • Students – Demonstrate fluencies, depth of understanding ELA/Literacy • Materials – Literature/Literary Non Fiction • Teachers – Identify and Create Textdependent Questions • Students – Demonstration of close encounter with text through writing 1. Shift the practice of teachers, principals, instructional leaders 2. Regularly visit schools 3. Collect evidence of data and revise actions accordingly
