Objectives for today
Common standards across statesStudent mobilityChanges in the set of skills required for current and emerging jobs
Increasing global competition for existing jobs.
Why Common Core State Standards?
The CCSS did not call for, nor does it support a “national curriculum.” The common
standards were designed to identify the most essential
skills and knowledge students need, but not how students
acquire them.
They were designed to identify the most essential skills and knowledge students
need.
They were not designed to determine HOW the students these essential skills.
These oversights will continue to a decision made at each individual state
What were the CCSS designed for?
SUM IT UP!
How will they change our classrooms?
1. Prompt return of student-level results2. Information that will help teachers refine
instruction3. Results that measure student
performance and growth over time (this allows evaluation of teacher and principal effectiveness)
4. The incorporation of fair and reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities and English Language Learners

RI-4; L-5, L-5a, L-5b Read the below text about the law and answer the
question that follows.What is a Law?
So what is a law? Well, picture your family sitting down to play a board game. You need to know the rules in order to play, right? The same thing goes for your day-to-day life -- you need to know the rules or laws. Every country has their own set of laws and each is unique to that country. For example, in the United States, the law says we drive on the right-hand side of the road. In England, on the other hand, their law states they drive on the left. You could really do some damage if you didn't know that law and started driving on the wrong side of the road!
Sample 4th Grade Reading/Language Task
Item Prompt:The author uses the pronouns “your” and
“you.” Explain how these pronouns develop the idea that laws are important to the reader. Support your answer using details from the text.
