Common Core State Standards
Standards vs. Curriculum
Define the knowledge
and skills students
should have within
their K-12 educational
careers.
The tools and
materials used to
help students
meet the goals
outlined in the
standards.

▪
▪
Demonstrate independence.
▪ Build strong content knowledge.
▪ Respond to varying demands of audience,
task, purpose, and discipline.
▪ Comprehend as well as critique.
▪ Value evidence.
▪ Use technology and digital media
strategically and capably.
Big Ideas from the writers of the ELA CCSS
David Coleman & Sue Pimentel
Students should be able to –
● closely read complex texts,
● evaluate and gather evidence, and
● integrate information into clear, coherent
writing that demonstrates critical thinking.
HCS implements the CCSS in

Standards for Mathematical Practice
1. Make sense of complex problems and persevere in
solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the
reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated
reasoning.

A Closer Look at SBAC
● Decide Math? or Literacy?
● Get a laptop and handout
● Sit at appropriate table

Private Reasoning Time:
● Considering what we’ve shared
about the Common Core
Standards, think about what
skills and strategies were
necessary to complete these
task(s)?
Listen and Compare
● Partner B shares first
● Partner A shares second
● How are the ideas you shared
the same and different?
THANK YOU …
for your partnership
and support…as we
implement the CCSS
together!
