A Confluence of Opportunity
A model of comprehension processes The Construction-Integration model of Walter Kintsch.
A framework that can be used to shape instruction in a productive and flexible manner The Four Resources Model of Peter Freebody and Allan Luke
A policy lever that can be used to frame the accountability system to which we hitch our wagon The Common Core Standards for English Language Arts
An assessment framework that could shape the terms of our accountability system The National Assessment of Educational Progress
A new rhetorical frame Deeper Learning

Just to remind us
College and Career Readiness Standards
Common Core State Standards (grade by grade)
Assessments to measure their mastery
![Page 7: What Will the Future Bring? A Narrow Window of Opportunity to Get Comprehension Instruction Right !!!](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816947550346895de0d5f0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Affordances of the CCS
An uplifting vision based on our best research on the nature of reading comprehension
Focus on results rather than meansIntegrated model of literacyShared responsibility (text in subject matter learning)
![Page 9: What Will the Future Bring? A Narrow Window of Opportunity to Get Comprehension Instruction Right !!!](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816947550346895de0d5f0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Students who meet the Standards readily undertake the close, attentive, reading that is at the heart of understanding and enjoying complex works of literature.
They habitually perform the critical reading necessary to pick carefully through the staggering amount of information available today in print and digitally.
They actively seek the wide, deep, and thoughtful engagement with high-quality literary and informational texts that builds knowledge, enlarges experience, and broadens world views.
They reflexively demonstrate the cogent reasoning and use of evidence essential to both private deliberation and responsible citizenship in a democratic republic.
An Uplifting Vision: ELA CCSS
![Page 10: What Will the Future Bring? A Narrow Window of Opportunity to Get Comprehension Instruction Right !!!](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816947550346895de0d5f0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Focus on results rather than means*
Why? Leave a place for each lower level to add its own signature Some decisions about means really are local Appropriate role for a larger body politic
Balance between our goals and our methods
*This is one issue on which there is reason to be concerned. Pick up later.

From the ELA Standards Document…
By emphasizing required achievements, the Standards leave room for teachers, curriculum developers, and states to determine how those goals should be reached and what additional topics should be addressed.
Thus, the Standards do not mandate such things as a particular writing process or the full range of metacognitive strategies that students may need to monitor and direct their thinking and learning.
Teachers are thus free to provide students with whatever tools and knowledge their professional judgment and experience identify as most helpful for meeting the goals set out in the Standards.”

Integrated Model of Literacy
Two views of integration Integrated Language Arts Integration between ELA and disciplines
The CCSS are better on the interdisciplinary than on the ELA integration
Corresponds to the actual uses to which reading and writing are put.
Reading, writing, and language always serve specific purposes Reading and writing, not generically, But about something in particular

Shared Responsibility
English and Subject MatterWhat we said before, reading and writing are always
situated in a topic and a purpose.Knowledge fuels comprehension and writing.Reading and writing, along with experience and
instruction, fuel knowledge.Reading and writing and language work better when they
are “tools” for the acquisition of Knowledge Insight Joy

Reading Comprehension
Most models of reading have tried to explain how reader factors, text factors and context factors interact when readers make meaning.

Pedagogy for Reader-centric
• Since the meaning is largely in the reader, we need to go dig it out…
• Spend a lot of time on– Building background knowledge– Inferences needed to build a coherent model
of meaning– Readers’ impressions, expressions, unbridled
response• Readerly readings

• Since the meaning is largely in the context, we need to go dig it out…
• Questions that get at the social, political and economic underbelly of the text– Whose interests are served by this text?– What is the author trying to get us to
believe?– What features of the text contribute to the
interpretation that money is evil?

In Kintsch’s model, Reader and Text factors are balanced, and context plays a “background” role--in purpose and motivation.

CI: Balance Reader and Text: little c for context

• Since the meaning is in this reader text interface, we need to go dig it out…
• Query the accuracy of the text base.– What is going on in this part here where it
says…– What does it mean when it says…– I was confused by this part…
• Ascertain the situation model.– So what is going on here? – What do you know that we didn’t know
before?

The nature of the texts
C. Shorter, challenging texts that elicit close reading and re-reading are provided regularly at each grade. The study of short texts is particularly useful to enable students at a
wide range of reading levels to participate in the close analysis of more demanding text.
Such reading focuses on what lies within the four corners of the text.
![Page 46: What Will the Future Bring? A Narrow Window of Opportunity to Get Comprehension Instruction Right !!!](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816947550346895de0d5f0/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Questions and Tasks
A. A significant percentage of tasks and questions are text dependent. The standards strongly focus on students gathering evidence,
knowledge, and insight from what they read and therefore require that a majority of the questions and tasks that students ask and respond to be based on the text under consideration. Rigorous text-dependent questions require students to demonstrate that they not only can follow the details of what is explicitly stated but also are able to make valid claims that square with all the evidence in the text.
Text-dependent questions do not require information or evidence from outside the text or texts; they establish what follows and what does not follow from the text itself
![Page 47: What Will the Future Bring? A Narrow Window of Opportunity to Get Comprehension Instruction Right !!!](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816947550346895de0d5f0/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
D. Questions and tasks require careful comprehension of the text before asking for further evaluation or interpretation. The Common Core State Standards call for students to demonstrate a
careful understanding of what they read before engaging their opinions, appraisals, or interpretations. Aligned materials should thereforerequire students to demonstrate that they have followed the details and logic of an author’s argument before they are asked to evaluate the thesis or compare the thesis to others.
![Page 48: What Will the Future Bring? A Narrow Window of Opportunity to Get Comprehension Instruction Right !!!](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816947550346895de0d5f0/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Materials make the text the focus of instruction by avoiding features that distract from the text. Teachers’ guides or students’ editions of curriculum materials should
highlight the reading selections. Everything included in the surrounding materials should be thoughtfully considered and justified before being included.
Given the focus of the Common Core State Standards, publishers should be extremely sparing in offering activities that are not text based.

5. The VAST unknown: CCSS and Assessment
Assessments will make or break the CCSS movementThis is where we decide whether the movement is
Opportunity for reform Or Same old, same old
If assessments are not changed, these standards will not make an iota of difference in teaching and learning

My focus
Given ourvast experience with MC and CR, I’ll focus on performance tasks…
Except to say that well developed theories of mc items, along with equally well-developed theories about classes of distractors, are really important to decision validity and the information value of test items.
We need to learn something from each and every response a student makes, not just the right ones.

Performance Tasks: Why bother?
External validity College ready Career ready
Curricular validity Powerful learning Deeper learning
Consequential validity What curricular activities will it lead teachers and students toward?

Sample Extended Constructed Response Items (taken from CCSS)
9-10 ELA, Informational--Students analyze how Abraham Lincoln in his “Second Inaugural Address” unfolds his examination of the ideas that led to the Civil War, paying particular attention to the order in which the points are made, how Lincoln introduces and develops his points, and the connections that are drawn between them.
11-12, ELA, Informational--Students delineate and evaluate the argument that Thomas Paine makes in Common Sense. They assess the reasoning present in his analysis, including the premises and purposes of his essay.
![Page 62: What Will the Future Bring? A Narrow Window of Opportunity to Get Comprehension Instruction Right !!!](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816947550346895de0d5f0/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Sample Extended Constructed Response Items (taken from CCSS)
11-12, ELA, Drama--Students compare two or more recorded or live productions of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman to the written text, evaluating how each version interprets the source text and debating which aspects of the enacted interpretations of the play best capture a particular character, scene, or theme.
11-12, ELA Poetry--Students cite strong and thorough textual evidence from John Keats’s “Ode on a Grecian Urn” to support their analysis of what the poem says explicitly about the urn as well as what can be inferred about the urn from evidence in the poem. Based on their close reading, students draw inferences from the text regarding what meanings the figures decorating the urn convey as well as noting where the poem leaves matters about the urn and its decoration uncertain.

Sample Extended Constructed Response Items (taken from CCSS)
11-12, Informational Texts: Science--Students analyze the concept of mass based on their close reading of Gordon Kane’s “The Mysteries of Mass” and cite specific textual evidence from the text to answer the question of why elementary particles have mass at all. Students explain important distinctions the author makes regarding the Higgs field and the Higgs boson and their relationship to the concept of mass

Writing in Response to ReadingPoint Score 6
The student clearly and effectively chooses key or important ideas from each reading selection to support a position on the question and to make a clear connection between the reading selections. The point of view and connection are thoroughly developed with appropriate examples and details. There are no misconceptions about the reading selections. There are strong relationships among ideas. Mastery of language use and writing conventions contributes to the effect of the response.
