CCSS Integrated Model
“Although the Standards are divided into Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language strands for conceptual clarity, the processes of communication are closely connected, as reflected throughout this document.”
Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects, Introduction, pg. 4
Communication
Research and Media Skills
Students need the ability to:• gather, comprehend, evaluate,
synthesize, and report on information and ideas
• conduct original research in order to answer questions or solve problems
• analyze and create print and non- print texts in media forms old and new
“The need to conduct research and to produce and consume media is embedded into every aspect of today’s curriculum.” (Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects, Introduction, pg. 4)
Common Core State Standards for Mathematics
1. Focus: Focus strongly where the standards focus.
2. Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics

Mathematics: 3 shifts
How to Read the Grade Level Standards • Standards define what students should understand and be able to do.
• Clusters summarize groups of related standards. Note that standards from different clusters may sometimes be closely related, because mathematics is a connected subject.
• Domains are larger groups of related standards. Standards from different domains may sometimes be closely related.
GradePriorities in Support of Rich Instruction and Expectations of Fluency and Conceptual Understanding
K–2Addition and subtraction, measurement using whole number quantities
3–5Multiplication and division of whole numbers and fractions
6Ratios and proportional reasoning; early expressions and equations
7Ratios and proportional reasoning; arithmetic of rational numbers
8 Linear algebra
Priorities in Mathematics
