Grade Level MeetingsMay/June 2013
PA Common Core State Standards
ELA/LITERACY/MATHShifts for Students, Teachers and the
Parkland School District
Goals for Presentation
• What are the Common Core State Standards and how do they relate to the PA Common Core State Standards?
• How do the PACCSS relate to the existing PA Standards?
• What are the instructional implications of the shifts to PACCSS for students, teachers, and PSD?
• What is the role of Professional Learning Communities in the implementation of the PACCSS?

Reading Information
al TextEnables students to read,
understand, and respond to informational texts.
Reading Literature
Enables students to read, understand,
and respond to literature.
Foundational Skills
A necessary component of an effective, comprehensive reading program designed
to develop proficient readers.
Writing
Develops the skills ofinformational, argumentative, and narrative writing as well as the ability to engage in
evidence based analysis of text and research.
Speaking & Listening
Focuses students on communication skills that
enablecritical listening and
effective presentation of ideas.
PENNSYLVANIA COMMON CORE STANDARDS English Language Arts
CC 1.3 Reading Literature Students read and respond to works of literature—with emphasis on comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and making connections among ideas and between texts with focus on textual evidence.

• Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
• Reason abstractly and quantitatively.• Construct viable arguments and
critique the reasoning of others.• Model with mathematics • Use appropriate tools strategically.• Attend to precision. • Look for and make use of structure. • Look for and make sense of regularity
in repeated reasoning.

PACCSS/Existing PA State Standards
PACCSS/Existing PA State Standards
PACCSS/Existing PA State Standards
• PACCSS exist for pre-K -12• PACCSS build rigor and complexity into existing
standards as opposed to altering them a great deal.• Rigor = students are expected to learn and demonstrate
high levels of learning through teacher appropriate supports• Complexity = blend of text readability, knowledge demands,
and reader task
Depth of Knowledge
Overview of Text ComplexityQuantitative Measures – Readability
and other scores of text complexity often best measured by computer software.
Qualitative Measures – Levels of meaning, structure, language conventionality and clarity, and knowledge demands often best measured by an attentive human reader.
Reader and Task Considerations – Background knowledge of reader, motivation, interests, and complexity generated by tasks assigned often best made by educators employing their professional judgment.
• Lexile levels are based on a readability formula that examines word frequency & sentence length.
• Scores range from below 200L to above 1600L for advanced readers
• CCSS require higher Lexile scores than ever before. For example in Grades 4-5 from
645-845 to 770-980
Increase in Required Lexile Levels
Shift 1 Balancing Informational & Literary Text
Students read a true balance of informational and literary texts.
Shift 2 Knowledge in the Disciplines Students build knowledge about the world (domains/ content areas) through TEXT rather than the teacher or activities
Shift 3 Staircase of Complexity Students read the central, grade appropriate text around which instruction is centered. Teachers are patient, create more time and space and support in the curriculum for close reading.
Shift 4 Text-based Answers Students engage in rich and rigorous evidence based conversations about text.
Shift 5 Writing from Sources Writing emphasizes use of evidence from sources to inform or make an argument.
Shift 6 Academic Vocabulary Students constantly build the transferable vocabulary they need to access grade level complex texts. This can be done effectively by spiraling like content in increasingly complex texts.
Shifts in ELA/Literacy
Shifts in MathematicsShift 1 Focus Teachers significantly narrow and deepen the scope of how
time and energy is spent in the math classroom. They do so in order to focus deeply on only the concepts that are prioritized in the standards.
Shift 2 Coherence Principals and teachers carefully connect the learning within and across grades so that students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previous years.
Shift 3 Fluency Students are expected to have speed and accuracy with simple calculations; teachers structure class time and/or homework time for students to memorize, through repetition, core functions.
Shift 4 Deep Understanding
Students deeply understand and can operate easily within a math concept before moving on. They learn more than the trick to get the answer right. They learn the math.
Shift 5 Application Students are expected to use math and choose the appropriate concept for application even when they are not prompted to do so.
Shift 6 Dual Intensity Students are practicing and understanding. There is more than a balance between these two things in the classroom – both are occurring with intensity.
