What TLS Staff Need to Know
![Page 2: Alaska’s English Language Arts & Mathematics Standards What TLS Staff Need to Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e0f5503460f94af9ba9/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Objectives
• Understand the background and shifts of Alaska’s ELA and Math standards
• Consider how you might respond to questions or comments about our new standards
![Page 3: Alaska’s English Language Arts & Mathematics Standards What TLS Staff Need to Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e0f5503460f94af9ba9/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What our standards are!• Adopted by the State Board in June 2012
• Two sets of standards: English Language Arts (ELA) & Math
• Responsive to a gap between what was needed to graduate from high school and what is needed to be successful in college and the work place
• Similar and equivalent but not identical to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Two key differences.
![Page 4: Alaska’s English Language Arts & Mathematics Standards What TLS Staff Need to Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e0f5503460f94af9ba9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Two key differences:1) Some previous Alaska math standards
were retained that are not in the CCSS, particularly for measurement in the elementary grades.
2) For some standards, additional language was added to provide clarity.

Example:Grade 5 for Reading Literature• CC – By the end of the year, read and comprehend
literature, including stories, dramas, and poetry, at the high end of the grades 4-5 text complexity band independently and proficiently.
• Alaska – By the end of the year, read and comprehend a range of literature from a variety of cultures, within a complexity band appropriate to grade 5 (from upper grade 4 to grade 6), with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.

What our standards are not!
• The CCSS
• Identical to the CCSS.
• Less rigorous that the CCSS.
• Pretty much the same as our previous standards.
![Page 7: Alaska’s English Language Arts & Mathematics Standards What TLS Staff Need to Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e0f5503460f94af9ba9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Partner up – how would you respond to:
Partner 1: Why did we need new standards anyway?”
Partner 2: Aren’t our standards basically the Common Core?

Strong Foundation in Early Grades
1. Foundational Skills in the early Grades
2. The instruction of the basic reading components is still an expectation
3. The standards for these skill are mastered by grade 5.
![Page 11: Alaska’s English Language Arts & Mathematics Standards What TLS Staff Need to Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e0f5503460f94af9ba9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The importance of a proper foundation:

Shift #1: Building Knowledge Through Content-Rich Nonfiction and Informational Text
![Page 13: Alaska’s English Language Arts & Mathematics Standards What TLS Staff Need to Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e0f5503460f94af9ba9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What it is!• Using text as a source of knowledge
• Increase in reading of non-fiction, informational text
• 50/50 balance K-5 of informational and literary text
• 55/45 balance in middle school of informational and literary text
• 70/30 balance in 9-12 of informational and literary text
• Coherent set of non-fiction texts that support building knowledge
• In middle and high school, attention to literacy across content areas
![Page 14: Alaska’s English Language Arts & Mathematics Standards What TLS Staff Need to Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e0f5503460f94af9ba9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What it might look like.• Emphasis is on text structure other than
narrative
![Page 15: Alaska’s English Language Arts & Mathematics Standards What TLS Staff Need to Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e0f5503460f94af9ba9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
To your neighbor, restate in your own words, what Shift #1 is and what is looks like.
![Page 16: Alaska’s English Language Arts & Mathematics Standards What TLS Staff Need to Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e0f5503460f94af9ba9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What it is NOT!
Reading manuals 50% of the day for elementary students and 70% of the day in high school.
![Page 17: Alaska’s English Language Arts & Mathematics Standards What TLS Staff Need to Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e0f5503460f94af9ba9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How would you respond if someone said to you,
“I heard that the new standards are going to expect kids in elementary school to read manuals 50% of the time. And by the time they are in high school that is about ALL they will read.”
![Page 18: Alaska’s English Language Arts & Mathematics Standards What TLS Staff Need to Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e0f5503460f94af9ba9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Shift #2: Reading and Writing grounded in Evidence From Text
![Page 19: Alaska’s English Language Arts & Mathematics Standards What TLS Staff Need to Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e0f5503460f94af9ba9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What it is!• For reading, students must grasp information,
arguments, ideas and details based on careful attention to the text
• For writing, students must write to present analyses, well-defended claims, and clear information using clear information
• Teachers use text-dependent questions to achieve these objectives.
![Page 20: Alaska’s English Language Arts & Mathematics Standards What TLS Staff Need to Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e0f5503460f94af9ba9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
WHAT is a text dependent question?
• Questions that can only be answered with evidence from the text
• Can be literal but can also involve analysis, synthesis, evaluation
• Focus on word, sentence and paragraph as well as larger ideas, themes or events
• Focus on difficult portions of text in order to enhance reading proficiency
![Page 21: Alaska’s English Language Arts & Mathematics Standards What TLS Staff Need to Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e0f5503460f94af9ba9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
In “Casey at the Bat,” Casey strikes out. Describe a time when you failed at something.
In “Letter From 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” Abraham Lincoln says the nation is dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Why is equality an important value to promote?
What makes Casey’s experiences at bat humorous?
What can you infer from King’s letter 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?
Not Text Dependent Text Dependent

How would you respond to:
I can just keep teaching what I’ve always been teaching. The new standards aren’t really that different.
![Page 40: Alaska’s English Language Arts & Mathematics Standards What TLS Staff Need to Know](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e0f5503460f94af9ba9/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
What it is NOT!• A mile wide and an inch deep
• “Covering” lots of topics with little time for students to build command of anything
• Teaching all of the content we taught before

Application• Application of math concepts in “real
world” situations, recognizing this means different things in K-5, 6-8, and HS.
• Teachers in content areas outside of math, particularly science, ensure that students are using grade-level-appropriate math to make meaning of and access science content.
