1. Updated Kindergarten Teacher Checklists Presented with the CCSS AND I Can. By Jill & Cathy on August 19, 2014 Here are the updated kindergarten CCSS checklists some of you have been asking for! Our common core standards checklists are just what you need to help you keep track of the standards taught in your classroom. Use these to make sure you are addressing all that you need to teach throughout the course of the school year. Keep track of when you have introduced, retaught and assessed each indicator.

The most important parts of the common core are the anchor standards that carry through from kindergarten to high school. ***Please keep in mind that these checklists are more to be used as a system of checks and balances in your teaching for the year and not so much a “check off” sheet for these indicators to be checked and thought of as “done”. These checklists are presented in two ways. The first two links are the in depth explanations of the standards found at www.corestandards.org.

PARCC Task Prototypes and New Sample Items for ELA/literacy. New! Try out sample test questions in their intended environment.

The primary purpose of sharing samples of PARCC items is to provide information about the assessment system and support educators as they transition to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and the PARCC tests. The samples presented here are designed to shine a light on important elements of the CCSS and to show how critical content in the standards may appear in PARCC’s next-generation, technology-based assessments. Samples can be found by clicking on each grade level on the left menu. There are two types of samples found on these pages: Task Prototypes, which were released in August 2012; and, Sample Items, which were released beginning on August 19, 2013. Considerations for Using Task Prototypes and Sample Items Considerations for Using Task Prototypes and New Sample Items The sample items are not intended to be a practice test, and are not meant to mirror full-length assessments that address the full range of the CCSS.

Below you will find unpacking standards documents to support teachers in their understanding of the common core and essential standards. The unpacking documents demonstrate at a granular level the knowledge and skills students are expected to master at a particular grade.

Important Note: The current Standard Course of Study will continue to be taught and tested during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 school years. New standards and assessments are to be implemented for the first time beginning with the 2012-13 school year.

Use these to make sure you are addressing all that you need to teach throughout the course of the school year. Keep track of when you have introduced, retaught and assessed each indicator. The most important parts of the common core are the anchor standards that carry through from kindergarten to high school.

These have been included with each language arts checklist so that you don’t lose sight of your essential goals for teaching and learning. ***Please keep in mind that this checklist is more to be used as a system of checks and balances in your teaching for the year and not so much a “check off” sheet for these indicators to be checked and thought of as “done”.

You will be teaching so many of these concepts during your one-on-one conferencing each and every day. Reading Writing Language Speaking & Listening Math. Critical shifts. Background.
