The Common Core is not a curriculum or a teaching guide. It is an outline of ELA and Math SKILLS (standards) that all students should master at each grade level, K – 12.

Why Move to the Common Core?
College and Career Readiness – the new national normWorkplace reading exceeds 12th grade complexity (Stenner, Koons, & Swartz)K-12 texts have trended downward in difficulty in the last half century (Chall, Conard, & Harris, 1977)

Math StandardsTwo types of standards: 1.) Mathematical Practice (how students are able to apply and extend math principles) 2.) Mathematical Content (what students know about math)The two are linked together while students are learning

Mathematical Practices1. Make sense of problems and
persevere in solving them2. Reason abstractly and
quantitatively3. Construct viable arguments
and critique the reasoning of others
4. Model with mathematics

Mathematical Practices 5. Use appropriate tools strategically6. Attend to precision7. Look for and make use of structure8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
