every grade level/grade band.
Students will be tested and instructional effectiveness
will be measured based on CCSS (beginning 2015).
Federal funding is tied to CCSS adoption,
implementation, and accountability.
ELA and Mathematics CCSS are just the beginning.
Science and Social Studies are in the draft stage…more
subject area standards are being developed.
CCSS create an opportunity for educators to talk and
share knowledge across state lines.

A Note About Unique Structures…
• Only Grades K-5 have Foundational Skill
Standards
 concepts of print, the alphabetic principle, and other basic
conventions of the English writing system
 not an end in and of themselves but necessary and important
components of an effective, comprehensive reading program
 instruction should be differentiated: good readers will need much less
practice with these concepts than struggling readers
Slides courtesy of Statewide SIS and CESA #7
More About Unique Structures…
• English Language Arts for grades K-8 are listed by
grade (K, 1, 2 etc.) and 9-12 are in grade bands (9-10, 1112)
• ELA standards include teachers of History, Social
Studies, Science & Technical Subjects

Key Ideas and Details:
With prompting and support,
identify the main topic and retell
key details of a text.
Craft and Structure:
With prompting and support, ask
and answer questions about
unknown words in a text.
Integration of Knowledge and
Ideas:
With prompting and support,
identify basic similarities in and
differences between two texts on
the same topic (eg in illustrations,
descriptions, or procedures).

Graph proportional relationships, interpreting
the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare
two different proportional relationships
represented in different ways. For example,
compare a distance-time graph to a distancetime equation to determine which of two moving
objects has greater speed.
Compute unit rates associated with ratios of
fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and
other quantities measured in like or different
units. For example, if a person walks 1/2 mile in
each 1/4 hour, compute the unit rate as the
complex fraction 1/2/1/4 miles per hour,
equivalently 2 miles per hour.
Know that numbers that are not rational are
called irrational. Understand informally that
every number has a decimal expansion; for
rational numbers show that the decimal
expansion repeats eventually, and convert a
decimal expansion which repeats eventually into
a rational number.

Investigating Vertical Connections
Task:

Find a standards to insert in the chart , find corresponding prior and future standards that focus
on the learning progressions one level above or below the given standard (if they exist). Note
that you will be looking for standards prior to the given grade level and after the given the grade
level.

Discuss and note these connected standards in the chart below.

2. Recognize and represent proportional relationships
between quantities.
 Decide whether two quantities are in a proportional
relationship, e.g., by testing for equivalent ratios in a
table or graphing on a coordinate plane and
observing whether the graph is a straight line
through the origin.
 Identify the constant of proportionality (unit rate) in
tables, graphs, equations, diagrams, and verbal
descriptions of proportional relationships.
 Represent proportional relationships by equations.
For example, if total cost ( t) is proportional to the
number (n) of items purchased at a constant price
(p), the relationship between the total cost and the
number of items can be expressed as t = pn.
 Explain what a point (x, y) on the graph of a
proportional relationship means in terms of the
situation, with special attention to the points (0, 0)
and (1, r) where r is the unit rate.
8th Grade Functions. 4. Construct a function to model
a linear relationship between two quantities.
Determine the rate of change and initial value of the
function from a description of a relationship or from
two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table
or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and
initial value of a linear function in terms of the
situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table
of values.

Future Standard
What are your next (first) steps?
 Get to know your WMELS…
 Spend some time learning the Kindergarten CCSS
standards…
 Utilize collaborative structures – (such as PLC’s Professional Learning Communities)…
 Work with your Kindergarten teachers to set up a
systematic way to foster understanding and
coherence…
 Know what your students need to know and be able to
do to be prepared for the next level…
