1.
Our focus today is to learn HOW to investigate the Common
Core State Standards.
2.
You will not investigate all of the standards today. You will
be given a process and materials to duplicate today’s
process in your school.

WI has Early Learning Standards that address expectations
for children birth to the beginning of first grade. When
developing curriculum and assessment practices for 4K
and 5K, the WMELS need to be considered along side the
CCSS

The CCSS mandates the student learning outcomes
for 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.

…the acquisition of the knowledge and skills a
student needs to enroll and succeed in creditbearing, first-year courses at a postsecondary
institution (such as a two- or four-year college,
trade school, or technical school) without the
need for remediation. (ACT)
The standards were built on this vision for every
single student who graduates from high school.


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
