It’s not about the task, it’s about the COMPLEXITY of the task. • Balancing informational
and literary text• Building knowledge in
the disciplines• Text-based answers• Writing from sources• Academic Vocabulary
Common Core Shifts in ELA AssessmentsShift 1: Pre-K-5, Balancing Informational & Literary Texts
Passages will be authentic, and will be balanced between informational and literary texts.
Shift 2: 6-12, Knowledge in the Disciplines
Assessments will contain knowledge-based questions about the informational text; students will not need outside knowledge to respond.
Shift 3: Staircase of Complexity
Passage selection will be based on text complexity that is appropriate to grade level per Common Core.
Shift 4: Text-based AnswersShift 5: Writing from Sources
Questions will require students to marshal evidence from the text, including from paired passages.
Shift 6: Academic Vocabulary
Students will be tested directly on the meaning of pivotal, common terms, the definition of which can be discerned from the text. Academic vocabulary will also be tested indirectly through general comprehension of the text.
