MYEEP

…….a set of national standards for English/Language Arts & Mathematics, that represent what students in grades K-12 should master in order to be college and career ready.

Common Core State Standards – what are they?

The CCSS does not have science has a “core” …. however

California has also adopted the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) which are aligned with

the Common Core/ELA and Math standards, but are SEPARATE Science Standards.

What about Science?

The Common Core standards emphasize students demonstrating understanding of content and analyzing written materials rather than memorizing specific information..

Sound familiar?????

How are CCSS different than the current state standards????

The Common Core Standards have an accompanying list of the “Habits of Mind”. The Habits of Mind describe a range of skills that are critical to not only success in academics, but success in work and life.

Each Common Core Standard has its own Habits of Mind; however the skill sets are not exclusive to math or ELA. In fact, they are overarching skills that students need to be successful in any endeavor.

The NGSS follows the same rubric…

What are the Habits of Mind?

Overlapping Practices

Which Habits of MIND????????????

Habits of Mind Activity: Objective: Participants will become familiar with the 16 essential habits of mind and how they relate to the Common Core State Standards Habits of mind. Modeling objectives: Designing activities with adult education theory in mind Modeling how the design of an activity can support developing skills and capacities that support learning during the school day. Habits of Mind objectives: Thinking flexibly;Questioning and problem posing;Thinking and communicating with clarity and precision;Thinking interdependently

TAKING RESPONSIBLE RISKS…….

Each person reads their card and decides which category they think it belongs.

Each person explains to the rest of the group why they placed it in a particular category.
