READINESS GUIDE
Awareness: Building Common Knowledge •Overview of the CCLS •6 Shifts for ELA and Math •Connect to Professional Practice: NYS Teaching Standards •Connect to Data Driven Instruction Connections: Connecting the 6 Shifts to Current Practice •Develop skills of educators in connecting the CCLS to discrete learning opportunities and tasks in the classroom Integration: Using the CCLS in the Design of Classroom Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment •District Level: identify Power Standards; write curriculum; develop scope and sequence •Classroom Level: develop standards based plans and assessments; identify and implement standards-based teaching practices
COMMON CORE SHIFTS ELA & CONTENT LITERACY
Balancing Informational & Literary Texts (Grades PK-5) Knowledge in the Disciplines (Grades 6-12) Staircase of Complexity Text-based Answers Writing from Sources Academic Vocabulary
Range of Text Types
BALANCING INFORMATIONAL & LITERARY TEXTS
Literature = Stories, Dramas, Poetry Informational = Literary Nonfiction, Historical, Scientific, & Technical Texts SHIFT 1 Grades PK-5 4 th grade 50% fiction 50% nonfiction 8 th grade 40% fiction 60% nonfiction 12 th grade 20% fiction 80% nonfiction Increase in teaching and learning with non fiction text
KNOWLEDGE IN THE DISCIPLINES
SHIFT 2 Grades 6-12 Reading & Writing Literacy Standards • Complement, not replace content standards Depending on text rather than referring to it •Read a president’s speech & write a response •Read scientific papers & write an analysis Think sophisticated non-fiction •Analyze and evaluate texts within disciplines •Gain knowledge from texts that convey complex information through diagrams, charts, evidence, & illustrations Expectation of rigorous domain specific literacy instruction outside of ELA
Pre CCLS Core Text(s)
SHIFT 1 Balancing Informational and Literary Texts SHIFT 2 Building Knowledge in the Disciplines
Post CCLS Core Texts
Paired Texts: The Hero’s Journey SHIFT 1 Balancing Informational and Literary Texts SHIFT 2 Building Knowledge in the Disciplines
STAIRCASE OF COMPLEXITY
Increase in text complexity at each grade level
Qualitative Quantitative Reader & Task
Levels of meaning Structure Clarity of language Knowledge demands Word length Sentence length Text cohesion Motivation Knowledge Experience
SHIFT 3
Expectation of proficiency and independence in reading grade level text Appendix B: Text Exemplars and Sample Performance Tasks
PRE-CCLS
Refusal of the Call Often when the call [to adventure] is given, the future hero refuses to heed it. This may be from a sense of duty or obligation, fear, insecurity, a sense of inadequacy, or any of a range of reasons that work to hold the person in his or her current circumstances. SHIFT 3 Staircase of Complexity
POST-CCLS
Refusal of the Call Often in actual life, and not infrequently in the myths and popular tales, we encounter the dull case of the call unanswered; for it is always possible to turn the ear to other interests. Refusal of the summons converts the adventure into its negative. Walled in boredom, hard work, or "culture," the subject loses the power of significant affirmative action and becomes a victim to be saved. His flowering world becomes a wasteland of dry stones and his life feels meaningless—even though, like King Minos, he may through titanic effort succeed in building an empire of renown. Whatever house he builds, it will be a house of death: a labyrinth of cyclopean walls to hide from him his Minotaur. All he can do is create new problems for himself and await the gradual approach of his disintegration .

Staircase of Complexity
TEXT-BASED ANSWERS SHIFT 4
Questions tied directly to the text, but extend beyond the literal Students must cite text to support answers Personal opinions, experiences, and connections to the text are minimized in favor of what the text actually says or doesn’t say Questions are purposefully planned & direct students to closely examine the text
PRE-CCLS

This may be from a sense of duty or obligation, fear, insecurity, a sense of inadequacy, or any of a range of reasons that work to hold the person in his or her current circumstances. SHIFT 4 Text-based Answers Question: What reasons might a hero use to refuse the call to adventure?

WRITING FROM SOURCES SHIFT 5
Three Text Types Argument Supporting a claim with sound reasoning and relevant evidence Informational/ Explanatory Writing Narrative Writing Increase subject knowledge Explain a process Enhance comprehension Conveys experience i.e. fictional stories, memoirs, anecdotes, autobiographies Argumentative writing is especially prominent in the CCLS Appendix C: Samples of Student Writing
Pre-CCLS Write about a time you had to make a difficult decision. Describe the situation and the heroic qualities you exhibited.
SHIFT 5
Writing from Sources
Post-CCLS Modern writers often enhance their story through the use of literary allusions. Grann compares Fawcett’s Nina to Odysseus’ Penelope. In your essay: Describe the call to adventure for both Percy Fawcett and Odysseus. Compare and contrast the impact of answering this call on those closest to the heroes.
Support your explanations using specific evidence from the two works listed above.
