Study of the Standards
using
Common Core
English Language Arts
Expectations
Participants will gain a common understanding of the
Common Core State Standards and develop a strong working
knowledge of the standards effect on teaching and learning.
Session participants will learn……
• How to use a set of structured tools to promote
conversations and collaboration around a common core
State standards
• How to use the common core State standards to guide
decision-making about teaching, learning and assessment
“To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear
understanding of your destination. It means to know where you
are going, so that you better understand where you are now
and so that the steps you take are always in the right
direction.”
Stephen R. Covey
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
The Common Core State Standards do not provide…….
• A complete scope and sequence
• A course outline
• All the essential skills and knowledge students could have
The Common Core State Standards do …….
• Outline the most important and essential skills and knowledge every student
needs to master to succeed in college and careers.
Common Core State Standards Development
The Common Core State Standards initiative state-led effort
coordinated by the National Governors Association Center
for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief
State School Officers (CCSSO)
The standards were developed in collaboration teachers,
school administrators, and experts to provide a clear
and consistent framework to prepare our children
for college and the workforce.
Common Core State Standards Development
• Aligned with college work expectations
• In rigorous content occasion of knowledge through high order skills
• Build upon strengths and lessons of current State Standards
• Informed the top three countries so that all students to succeed
in a global economy and society
• Evidence and/or research-based
As new research is conducted and implementation of the Common
Core State Standards is evaluated, the standards will be revised on a
set review cycle.

Part 1B
Structure
The Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts are compromised of
a set of anchor standards and corresponding grade-specific standards that are
organized around 4 strands:
• Reading
• Literature K -12
• Informational Text K -12
• Foundational Skills K -5
• Speaking and Listening
• Language
• Writing
The Common Core State Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science,
and Technical Subjects are comprised of a set of anchor standards and
Corresponding grade-specific standards that are organized around 2 strands:
• Reading
• Writing
Structure
Standards for ELA and Literacy
Anchor Standards
These are college and Career Readiness Standards that “anchor” the Common Core
State Standards. They define general expectations that must be met to ensure students
enter college and workforce training programs ready to succeed.
Strand
A broad idea that describes the area of focus for an English Language Arts
standard.
Organizing Elements
Categorize ideas and standards within the strand
Grade-Specific Standards
Define end-of-the year expectations and cumulative progressions designed to enable
students to meet college and career readiness expectations no later than the end of
high school.

Curriculum Alignment : Basic Principle
Written
Taught
Assessed
Alignment Means Every Educator:
• Understands what is expected of students
• Understands these expectations in the context of the
K-12 program
• Accepts responsibility for these expectations
Vertical Alignment – Investigation Activity
• It is not about developing content knowledge. It is about
learning a process to understand alignment and its
implications for teaching and learning
• It is not about demonstrating our content knowledge. It is
about engaging in a collaborative process and constructing
meaning using that process
• It is not about specific grade-level content. It is about
developing a K-12 perspective on alignment
• It is not about “the product. “ It is about collegial
conversations focused on the standards.

Understanding Vertical Alignment: Reflection
• How can the learning from this investigation affect the classroom teacher?
• How can the learning from this investigation affect the conversations at the
grade or department level?
• How can the learning from this investigation affect the conversations
at the school and district level?
• How can the learning from this investigation guide our work toward our goals?
• How will this impact the learning of all students? (at, above and below grade level)

Adding knowledge alternate or opposing claims
Adding reasoning and organizing evidence to
support claims logically.
• Added support claims with logical reasoning using
accurate sources……………
Most content should be approached from a developmental level of instruction since it is unique to the grade level. The instruction should then move
through reinforcement with drill and practice as appropriate.
Use what students know about:
• Opinions as a basis to compare/contrast arguments
• Building logical arguments and reason so that they can support claims
• Logically ordering reasons so they can move to supporting claims
The ELA standards are designed in an integrated way; therefore considered RI.8
Reflection:
1. What is the purpose of the Instructional Alignment Chart?
2. What is the difference between the Vertical Alignment Chart
and the Instructional Alignment Chart?
3. Why are conversations with your colleagues an important
part of this process?
