They're here... The Common Core Standards - Available for Comment This was five-year-old Carol Anne's ominous announcement made at her parents' home while starring into a static television when referring to the presence of unknown beings in her home. Their antics, benign at first, such as moving and stacking the kitchen table chairs soon turn quite disturbing as Poltergeist fans can attest. Like the unknown beings in the movie, the newly released draft of the Common Core Standards have had a ghostly presence to the masses who have seen pictures of Governors linked in arms with smiles on their faces as they unite to support the release of standards for a nation. While I do agree the premise of having international or at least national standards, makes sense, I do have concerns that these at first benign, perhaps even good-intention-seeming standards must be treated with EXTREME caution. I shared my primary fears around these standards last October in my post All Children Left Behind - Common Standards for Our Student's Past. Ahhhhh!!!!!
Tennessee English/Language Arts Curriculum Center Common Core State Standards (CCSS) establish learning goals for English Language Arts students and the literacy proficiencies for students in history/social studies, science, and technical subject areas. The CCSS for grade 6 and above are predicated on having teachers from different content areas combine their area content knowledge expertise to help students develop the literacy skills and understandings required for college and career readiness across multiple disciplines. The 6–12 literacy standards in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects do not replace content standards in these content areas, but rather, are intended to supplement them. In terms of their organization, the Common Core State Standards for ELA are grouped into: Strands: larger groups of related standards.

Common Core English/Language Arts Common Core Strand Learning Pathways Select a strand or grade level below to begin exploring our collection of standards-based resources. Overview The Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects are the culmination of an extended, broad-based effort to fulfill the charge issued by the states to create the next generation of K–12 standards in order to help ensure that all students are college and career ready in literacy no later than the end of high school. The Standards set requirements not only for English Language Arts but also for literacy in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects. Just as students must learn to read, write, speak, listen, and use language effectively in a variety of content areas, so too must the Standards specify the literacy skills and understandings required for college and career readiness in multiple disciplines. Strands are larger groups of related standards.
David Coleman's common core bullshit - Substance News Susan Ohanian - October 19, 2011 “[A]s you grow up in this world you realize people really don’t give a shit about what you feel or what you think.†Thus, Common Core Standards architect David Coleman delivered [1] the core pedagogy of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) to educators gathered at the New York State Department of Education in April 2011. Listen to a few more of Coleman’s proclamations and you have to ask yourself if this is a man of deep experience and rectitude or just a cuckoo bird let loose on a hapless bunch of educrats who don’t know how to voice dissent. Maybe they were in a state of shock. Brown Bear is still known to more people from ages one to one hundred than David Coleman or Arne Duncan.Or maybe the hall was silent because Coleman is billed as “a leading author and architect of the CCSS, and our professional organizations have already caved in on the Common Core — without a shot being fired.

English Language Arts Standards | Anchor Standards | College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Language The K-12 standards on the following pages define what students should understand and be able to do by the end of each grade. They correspond to the College and Career Readiness (CCR) anchor standards below by number. The CCR and grade-specific standards are necessary complements—the former providing broad standards, the latter providing additional specificity—that together define the skills and understandings that all students must demonstrate. Standards in this strand: Conventions of Standard English: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.L.2Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing. Knowledge of Language: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.L.3Apply knowledge of language to understand how language functions in different contexts, to make effective choices for meaning or style, and to comprehend more fully when reading or listening.

Grade 1 | Introduction In Grade 1, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: (1) developing understanding of addition, subtraction, and strategies for addition and subtraction within 20; (2) developing understanding of whole number relationships and place value, including grouping in tens and ones; (3) developing understanding of linear measurement and measuring lengths as iterating length units; and (4) reasoning about attributes of, and composing and decomposing geometric shapes. Students develop strategies for adding and subtracting whole numbers based on their prior work with small numbers. They use a variety of models, including discrete objects and length-based models (e.g., cubes connected to form lengths), to model add-to, take-from, put-together, take-apart, and compare situations to develop meaning for the operations of addition and subtraction, and to develop strategies to solve arithmetic problems with these operations.
