Common Core State Standard Rubric for History/Social Studies 11-12 | Michael K. Milton ~ @42ThinkDeep For the past few weeks, my colleague Todd Whitten and I have been sharing some work that we have done with the Common Core State Standards for History/Social Studies. During this process, we created rubrics based upon the 9-10th Grade Standards and the 11-12th Grade Standards. This week, we will be sharing those documents. Below is what we created based upon the Common Core State Standards for History/Social Studies for 11-12th Grades. When we were aligning activities with the Common Core (links below), this was our guiding document. Let us know what you think! Key Ideas and Details (Green Circle) RH.11-12.1. RH.11-12.2.

8 Helpful Tech Tools for the Common Core While the implementation of the Common Core State Standards means a lot of work and transition ahead, the good thing about shared benchmarks across 45 states is that you can now share resources, ideas and lessons with a colleague across the hall—or across the country. With that in mind, we asked our Facebook fans for their favorite online tools that are making the transition a little easier. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Question for you: Where have you found the best resources for the Common Core?

K-12 Rubrics | Common Core State Standards The Common Core State Standards have made it even more important for educators to assist students in making the connections between writing and reading through thoughtful and well-planned instruction, assignments and feedback. The Elk Grove Unified School District (EGUSD) created Common Core State Standards-aligned writing rubrics as a resource to assist teachers with this work. These rubrics are intended to help in instructional planning and to provide guidance in assisting students with the writing process. Permission to Use EGUSD Rubrics EGUSD’s CCSS writing rubrics have been requested by school districts and teachers across the nation and the world. Elk Grove Unified has provided our CCSS Rubrics below in Acrobat .pdf format with our district’s watermark and in Microsoft Word .doc format without.

Online texts Professor Jim Herod and I have written Multivariable Calculus ,a book which we and a few others have used here at Georgia Tech for two years. We have also proposed that this be the first calculus course in the curriculum here, but that is another story.... Although it is still in print, Calculus,by Gilbert Strang is made available through MIT's OpenCourseWare electronic publishing initiative. Here is one that has also been used here at Georgia Tech. Linear Methods of Applied Mathematics, by Evans Harrell and James Herod. Yet another one produced at Georgia Tech is Linear Algebra, Infinite Dimensions, and Maple, by James Herod.

Abeo | Collaboration – Integral in Common Core Assessment Collaboration – Integral in Common Core Assessment One on the most striking and pleasant surprises that I encountered in the Common Core Standards was the prevalence of Collaboration. This alone says that we are on the right track with common core. If we truly want and need this for our students, they will need to teach and assess it. Let’s be honest. K-5 and 6-12 Speaking and Listening Prepare for and participate effectively in a range of conversations and collaborations with diverse partners, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively. This standard is even broken down with specific criteria for each grade level. So what could an assessment look like? Perhaps students create a portfolio defense for a one on one with the teacher, bringing a variety of pieces of evidence. Of course these great summative assessment ideas need to be supported with ongoing formative assessment. From Andrew Miller, New Media Innovations
