COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS
(CCSS)
OVERVIEW
The Shifts: What they are and why they are
important
![Page 2: COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS (CCSS) OVERVIEW The Shifts: What they are and why they are important](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033105/56649f2b5503460f94c46bc2/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Rationale for the CCSS
Declining US competitiveness at the global level
High rates of college remediation Disparate standards across states
Today’s jobs require different skills
![Page 3: COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS (CCSS) OVERVIEW The Shifts: What they are and why they are important](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033105/56649f2b5503460f94c46bc2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Principles of the CCSS
Fewer, clearer, and more rigorous standards
Aligned to expectations for college and career readiness
Internationally benchmarked
Research and evidence-based

ELA/Literacy: 3 shifts
1. Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction

Shift #1Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction Much of our knowledge base comes from
informational text
Informational text makes up vast majority of required reading in college/workplace (80%)
Informational text harder for students to comprehend than narrative text
Currently, students are asked to read very little of it in elementary (7 - 15%) and middle school
CCSS moves percentages to
50:50 at elementary level
75:25 at secondary level (includes ELA, science, social studies)

ELA/Literacy: 3 shifts
1. Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction
2. Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational
![Page 7: COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS (CCSS) OVERVIEW The Shifts: What they are and why they are important](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033105/56649f2b5503460f94c46bc2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Shift #2Reading, writing & speaking grounded in evidence, both literary and informational
Most college and workplace writing is evidence-based and expository in nature (not narrative)
Identifying and providing evidence is a major emphasis of ELA standards
Being able to locate and understand evidence are hallmarks of strong readers and writers

ELA/Literacy: 3 shifts
1. Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction
2. Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational
3. Regular practice with complex text and its academic language
![Page 9: COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS (CCSS) OVERVIEW The Shifts: What they are and why they are important](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033105/56649f2b5503460f94c46bc2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Shift #3 Regular Practice with Complex Text and its Academic Language
Gap between complexity of college and high school texts is huge
What students can read, in terms of complexity is greatest predictor of success in college (ACT study)
Too many students reading at too low a level (<50% of graduates can read sufficiently complex texts)
Standards include a staircase of increasing text complexity from elementary through high school
Standards also focus on building vocabulary that is shared across many types of complex texts and many content areas

Mathematics: 3 shifts
1. Focus: Focus strongly where the standards focus.

Shift #1Focus strongly where the Standards focus
Significantly narrow the scope of content and deepen how time and energy is spent in the math classroom
Focus deeply only on what is emphasized in the standards, so that students gain strong foundations

Mathematics: 3 shifts
1. Focus: Focus strongly where the standards focus.
2. Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics
![Page 15: COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS (CCSS) OVERVIEW The Shifts: What they are and why they are important](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033105/56649f2b5503460f94c46bc2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Shift #2 Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics within grades
Carefully connect the learning within and across grades so that students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previous years.
Begin to count on solid conceptual understanding of core content and build on it. Each standard is not a new event, but an extension of previous learning.
![Page 16: COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS (CCSS) OVERVIEW The Shifts: What they are and why they are important](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033105/56649f2b5503460f94c46bc2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Mathematics: 3 shifts
1. Focus: Focus strongly where the standards focus.
2. Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics
3. Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application
![Page 17: COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS (CCSS) OVERVIEW The Shifts: What they are and why they are important](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033105/56649f2b5503460f94c46bc2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Shift #3 Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application
The CCSSM require a balance of: Solid conceptual understanding Procedural skill and fluency Application of skills in problem solving
situations
This requires equal intensity in time, activities, and resources in pursuit of all three
