LIVE BINDER: ELA Common Core State Standards Resources. Core Strategies for Innovation and Reform in Learning. Edutopia's Comprehensive List of CC Resources. Parents' Guide to the CCSS. Currently, each state has a separate set of education standards, lists of skills that students are expected to do by the time they graduate each grade. However, in response to concerns about American student achievement and just how prepared students are for college and careers, education leaders in 48 states, along with the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), have written a set of standards for student across the U.S.
The common core state standards were released in 2010. Now, 44 states are working to implement them by 2013-2014. Here’s what you should know and how to help your child prepare for the common core: The Common Core Standards are State-Driven The common core state standards are a set of learning skills that all American students should achieve, not a federal curriculum. They set the benchmarks and guidelines for what each student should learn, not how or what teachers teach. The Standards are a Progression View Full Article.

PARCC Assessment System and ELA, Part 2 « PARCC in Massachusetts. In Part 1 on the PARCC assessment system I tried to walk through, though somewhat briefly, a general sense of the design principles and the general architecture of the assessment system. In this post I am going to try to convey what I learned specifically about the design of the ELA assessment and review the general evidence-centered design principle. Below is the picture of evidence-centered design construction: Evidence-Centered Claims Driving Design of ELA Assessment The ELA assessment has a broad set of claims about what students should know and be able to do that should be supported by the evidence collected through the assessment tasks. These claims are intended to support the intent of the PARCC assessment system’s larger function of determining if students are on-track or ready for college and careers.
Here are the ELA claims for the PARCC assessment bulleted out and a screen shot of the slide from which they came (boxed in red): Broad ELA/Literacy Task Types More on PARCC Tasks.

Links to CC Analyses and Research. 50 Important Links for Common Core Educators. Educators across the nation are working hard this summer to begin developing updated curricula that will fit into the new Common Core State Standards, which will be fully applied in 45 U.S. states (Texas, Alaska, Nebraska, Virginia, and Minnesota have opted out of statewide participation) by 2015.
Yet despite the hubbub about the new standards, which were created as a means of better equipping students with the knowledge they need to be competitive in the modern world, many teachers still have a lot of unanswered questions about what Common Core will mean for them, their students, and their schools.
Luckily, the Internet abounds with helpful resources that can explain the intricacies of Common Core, offer resources for curriculum development, and even let teachers keep up with the latest news on the subject. We’ve collected just a few of those great resources here, which are essential reads for any K-12 educator in a Common Core-adopting state. Groups and Organizations Useful Resources.

Sir Ken Robinson: Bring on the learning revolution! Resources for Understanding the Common Core State Standards. The Hunt Institute. Common Core Implementation Video Series To further aid states as they continue to implement the Common Core State Standards (Standards), the Hunt Institute and the Council of Chief State School Officers have commissioned a series of video vignettes that explain the Standards in far greater depth. Several of the key Standards writers were asked, in their own words, to talk about how the Standards were developedand the goals they set for all students. These videos were developed to help diverse groups – educators, policymakers, parents – better understand the breadth and depth of the Standards and how they will improve teaching, make classrooms better, create shared expectations, and cultivate lifelong learning for all students.
The segments are organized into separate Mathematics and ELA sections, and demonstrate critical concepts related to each. States, schools, districts and teachers can use these videos in a number of ways—including, but not limited to: Video Links. The Hunt Institute.

Tools for the Common Core Standards. Phil Daro, Bill McCallum, Jason Zimba A Grecian urn You have just purchased an expensive Grecian urn and asked the dealer to ship it to your house. He picks up a hammer, shatters it into pieces, and explains that he will send one piece a day in an envelope for the next year. You object; he says “don’t worry, I’ll make sure that you get every single piece, and the markings are clear, so you’ll be able to glue them all back together.
In the Common Core State Standards, individual statements of what students are expected to understand and be able to do are embedded within domain headings and cluster headings designed to convey the structure of the subject. Standards for a Grecian Urn The pieces are designed to fit together, and the standards document fits them together, presenting a coherent whole where the connections within grades and the flows of ideas across grades are as visible as the story depicted on the urn. Sometimes a remix is as good as or better than the original. Like this: 10 Common Core Resources. Webinars: Key Shifts ELA and Math from Achieve the Core.

Common Core Standards: Lessons, Ideas, and Discussions #ccchat. Common Standards Ignite Debate Over Prereading. Published Online: April 24, 2012 Published in Print: April 25, 2012, as Common Standards Ignite Debate Over Student 'Prereading' Exercises Sparked by the Common Core State Standards, teachers and literacy experts are arguing about the role of a time-honored pillar of English/language arts instruction: classroom activities designed to help students understand what they are about to read. The attacks on—and defenses of—"prereading" are unfolding largely in cyberspace, through online forums, blogs, and email exchanges.
What's triggering them is educators' reactions to the new standards and two key explanatory resources created by their architects: a set of "publishers' criteria" and videotaped sample lessons. That trio has created an impression in some quarters that the intent of the standards is to "ban"—in the words of one blogger—prereading and instead ask students to approach texts "cold," with no upfront assistance.
That would represent a sharp turnabout from current practice. Mr. Mr. CC Achievement Strategy Site. The Most Useful Resources For Implementing Common Core — I Hope You’ll Contribute More. (NOTE: Readers have begun to contribute some excellent ideas in the comments. I’ll get around to adding them to the body of this post but, until then, be sure to review the comments, too!) I’m obviously not a real big fan of Common Core standards, and am a bit skeptical about its practical impact on what happens in the classroom. Nevertheless, they’re here, and I thought it would be useful to readers and to me to begin to collect some practical and helpful tools. I’m starting off with a few today, and hope readers will contribute a whole lot more — for all subjects and grade levels.
