Unpacking the Standards• Review the format of the
Common Core Standards document
• Note major shifts with the Common Core Standards
• Discuss implications and next steps
I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which,
when you looked at it in theright way, did not become
still more complicated.

Background
Myth or Fact?
We have not and will not prescribe a national
curriculum. I want to repeat that.

Major Shifts – ELA1. 50% of texts in K-5 are informational2. Literacy in history, science, and other
disciplines3. Text complexity matters4. Text-dependent questions5. Constructing an argument with
evidence in writing6. Building academic vocabulary

Making it the NYS Common Core
15%• Pre-K standards• Addition of two grade level
standards
CCSS Math: Design and Organization
• Mathematical Practice• Mathematical Content
CCSS Math:Design and Organization• Content Standards• Clusters• Domains

CCSS Math: Characteristics
• “inter-connected” concepts• Teaching for DEPTH, not WIDTH• “Mind-shift”
CCSS Math: Characteristics
“The Standards should be read as allowing for the widest possible range of students to participate fully from the outset, along with appropriate accommodations to ensure maximum participation of students with special education needs.” (CCSS mathematics document, p. 4)

Structural Organizations
• Performance indicators at each grade level written like a “list of skills.”
• 5 Conceptual process strands
• Content strands with individual standards
• Performance indicators at each grade level written in a way that concepts are “inter-connected” within a grade level.
• 8 Conceptual process strands
• 11 domains within the K-8 curriculum

Considerations for Math and ELA
• Interpreting the language• Conceptually related
curriculum vs. “check-list” of topics
• Embedding the CCS in PD
CCSS: The future
• Exploring curriculum models • Role of Network teams• Implementation of CCS –
September 2012• PARCC Assessments aligned to
the CCS – June 2015
• Sequenced• Content-Specific• Spiraled• Include sample tasks• Developed in the spring of 2011 and
available in the spring of 2012
The Curriculum Model will be…
Implementation Timeline
Regional Cooperation
• Ongoing and staggered APPR training• Unit writing• Using data to inform and guide instruction• The changing face of instructional leadership
– Leadership for instructional change• Navigating the change process
The change…
