The Common Core Standards are NOT Federal Standards: 

The Common Core Standards are NOT Federal Standards Led by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and the National Governors Association (NGA) Research and Evidence-based Aligned with College and Work Expectations Rigorous Internationally Benchmarked A Living Work An Extension on their work on developing College and Career Readiness Standards (Which is the Backbone of the Common Core Standards) Lays a vision for what it means to be a literate person in the 21st Century

Key Design Considerations: 

Key Design Considerations CCR (College and Career Ready) and Grade Specific Standards A focus on results rather than means An integrated model of literacy Research and media skills blended into the Standards as a whole Shared responsibility for students' literacy development within the school

College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading: 

College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading These are used for literature and informational text. It is important to read across the grade levels to understand how they all lead to a student who meets the Anchor Standards for college and career readiness. Students must read widely and deeply from among a broad range of high-quality, increasingly challenging literary and informational text. Share the data from ACT The results are:  Too Many Students are Reading at Too Low a Level.

Overview:  Shifts and Differences in ELA/Literacy : 

Overview:  Shifts and Differences in ELA/Literacy Balancing Informational and Literary Text Complexity of Text Building Knowledge in the Disciplines (6-12) Text Based Answers Writing (3 types of writing, beginning in Kindergarten) Academic Vocabulary Deep integration of reading and writing . Speaking and listening standards also heavily emphasized as a part of performance tasks. Greater emphasis on digital reading, writing, & multimedia production Greater emphasis on grammar Greater attention to comprehension A demand for higher-order thinking and production

Social Studies And Science

Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects: 

Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Shared responsibility for students’ literacy development Media requirements are blended throughout all the subjects Aligned with the College and Career Readiness (CCR) anchor standards Design and Organization incorporates the Four Strands: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening and Language

PowerPoint Presentation: 

We are not only preparing your student to graduate from high school, we are preparing your student to graduate from COLLEGE!

Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects : 

Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Text Complexity Students who are able to answer questions associated with complex texts fair better on the ACT college admissions tests and have a higher probability of earning a C or better in academic courses Students in college are expected to read complex texts with substantially greater independence. Plus, college students are held more accountable for what they read and must be able to report what they have learned not necessarily explained in class.

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Writing Students will be able: T o write arguments to support claims and analyze topics or texts using valid reasons To produce clear and coherent writing To research and build and present knowledge To write routinely over extended time frames (single setting or over several days) Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects

Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects : 

Primary focus is to provide College and Career Readiness whereby our students can: Show what they know about a subject and a ssert or defend claims Demonstrate academic knowledge and understanding of text complexity Use technology strategically when creating, refining, and collaborating Be successful in future college experiences and careers! Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects

Mathematics

Mathematics Key Points: 

Mathematics Key Points The K-5 standards provide students with a solid foundation in basic math skills that will help them to progress through more difficult concepts in fractions, algebra, and geometry. Middle school students will learn introductory geometry, algebra, probability and statistics that will provide a rich foundation for high school mathematics.

More Mathematics Key Points: 

More Mathematics Key Points High School standards emphasize mathematical modeling, the use of mathematics and statistics to analyze real world situations, understand them better, and improve decisions No longer simple problem solving More application based problems

Mathematical Practices: 

Mathematical Practices Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Model with mathematics. Use appropriate tools strategically. Attend to precision. Look for and make use of structure. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Triangle High Five Math Collaborative Proposal for Middle and High School Mathematics Course Names and Typical Sequencing Note: Students may move from one sequence to another based on their learning needs. Note: The word PLUS indicates an advanced level course. An honors credit is only given to those high school courses taken IN high school.
