Every Washington Student and Educator
Our Purpose: To develop a statewide system with resources that support partners at all levels in their preparation of ALL educators and ALL students
to implement the CCSS. 5 OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.13
Washington’s State Learning Goals are the Foundation (HB 1209+; RCW 28A.150.210)
OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.136
1. Read with comprehension, write effectively, and communicate successfully in a variety of ways and settings and with a variety of audiences;
1. Know and apply the core concepts and principles of mathematics; social, physical, and life sciences; civics and history, including different cultures and participation in representative government; geography; arts; and health and fitness;
1. Think analytically, logically, and creatively, and to integrate technology literacy and fluency as well as different experiences and knowledge to form reasoned judgments and solve problems; and
1. Understand the importance of work and finance and how performance, effort, and decisions directly affect future career and educational opportunities.

The Big Ideas: introduction, page 7
OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.1310
Demonstrate independence Build strong content knowledge Respond to the varying demands of audience,
task, purpose, and discipline Comprehend as well as critique Value evidence Use technology strategically and capably Come to understand other perspectives and
cultures
Three Shifts in English Language Arts
OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.1311
• Building content knowledge through content-rich nonfiction
• Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational
• Regular practice with complex text and its academic language
OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.1312
Shift One: Building content knowledge through content-rich nonfiction
•Provides an ideal context for building language, vocabulary, knowledge, and reasoning
•Is challenging, complex, and has deep comprehension-building potential
•Is an opportunity for students to learn how to engage, interact, and have “conversations” with the text in ways that prepare them for the type of experiences they will encounter in college and careers.
OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.1313
Shift Two: Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational
Moving from “how do you feel about what you just read? Do you like it?”
to
“Identify three examples that let you know what the author’s purpose is. Do you agree with the author?”
http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=245760
OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.1314
Shift Three: Regular practice with complex text and its academic language
Careful, targeted scaffolding of text complexity
Focus on appropriately rigorous texts
Strategic teaching of Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary with authentic application of new words and terms
Critical thinking= tangling with concepts and building knowledge
OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.1315
Where can we start? Where should we? Provide rich, relevant, rigorous texts for all
students…
… in all content areas! Students need to read and work with full texts in all their content areas, not just English Language Arts.
Support building and enhancing literacy skills with reading and writing strategies.
16 OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.13
Text Complexity: Getting Started with the “What”
OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.1317
Best measured by computer software
Best
measured by
an attentive
human
reader
Best made by educators
employing their professional
judgment
A comprehensive, collaborative approach is key:
Work with cross-content as well as grade band teams to consider students’ access to rich, relevant texts of different lengths
Use the Text Complexity Tools to identify how students are experiencing and working with texts. What kinds of tasks in reading? In writing? In Speaking?
19 OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.13
What does working with text look like?
OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.1320
OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.1321
What kids read is important
OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.1322
Yes, provide at-level text
Yes, provide access to the actual grade level text
YES, open the door to what’s next
The how: Text-dependent questions
OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.1323
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?
1. In “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” Dr. King discusses nonviolent protest. Discuss, in writing, a time when you wanted to fight against something that you felt was unfair.
2. In “The Gettysburg Address” Lincoln says the nation is dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Why is equality an important value to promote?
Academic Vocabulary = Access to the content and building critical thinking

perception: Sahel: Means
‘coastline’ in Arabic. The dry area of land located on the southern edge of the Sahara desert.

“These standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business.”
CCSSM, page 5
What can you do in your classroom?
OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.1328
Curate materials; work with your librarian Read and consider text complexity Read and rethink vocabulary lessons, K12 Share and collaborate vocabulary teaching with
cross-content and cross-grade level teams Identify rich writing, speaking, and technology
work Work with your specialists (ELL, Special
Education, literacy, etc.) and grapple together with access and support
Consider organized abandonment in favor of comprehensive, deeper learning opportunities
A Look at Assessment
OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.1329
CCSS Assessment System Transitions
OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.1330
Our change to Common Core is at the heart of assessment changes for ELA and Math
NCLB requires states to assess state standards We’ve changed standards so we need to change
assessments What we change to is our choice Smarter Balanced is where we are headed for ELA and Math
IMPT: There are currently no assessment consortia established for Science
Graduation requirements are a state’s choice Supt Dorn is proposing reduced graduation requirements
ESEA Waiver changes expectation that all students are proficient next year (2014) – it gives us more time and more individualized school-based goals

Our guiding beliefs and approach for CCSS Implementation in WA
OSPI_CCSS.ELA_Part4_5.30.1344
2-Prongs:1.The What: Content Shifts (for students and educators)
Belief that past standards implementation efforts have provided a strong foundation on which to build for CCSS; HOWEVER there are shifts that need to be attended to in the content.
2.The How: System “Remodeling” Belief that successful CCSS implementation will not take
place top down or bottom up – it must be “both, and…” Belief that districts across the state have the conditions
and commitment present to engage wholly in this work. Professional learning systems are critical
Ongoing: Statewide Coordination and Collaboration to Support Implementation
