This document provides an overview of a presentation on the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. It discusses the structure and topics covered by the CCSS for ELA, including the four strands of Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language. It also outlines the major shifts required by the CCSS, such as an increased focus on informational texts and text-dependent questions. Finally, it discusses next steps for implementation of the CCSS in the Orting School District, including additional training for teachers in foundational reading skills, vocabulary acquisition, and reading complex texts in all content areas.

Editor's Notes
- ELA Organizational Overview – Handouts:ToCELA Skills & Concepts Map (new from March Webinar)Engage (NY) Shifts docAnchor Standards
- The next five or six slides gives you a birds eye view of the standards. This is the basic structureCommon Core State Standards are organized by: Strands -There are four disciplines within English Language Arts and Literacy. Do we know how many strands we have in ELA? Four: Reading, WR, S & L, and Lang. Topics -This is the major focus for particular grade level or grade bandStandard Statements - are essential knowledge and skills to be learned at each grade level or grade bandReminder: This is the ELA common core format. Math’s format is different.
- At its most basic organizational view, you can see the four main strands: reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language.
- The next layer of organization is the topic layer.
- This view shows each of the four strands with their corresponding topics.
- TheReading strand has the most standards because it has a unique layer that we call sub-strands: literary,informational, and foundational skills (K-5 only).The topics for the sub-strands Reading Literature and Reading Informational Text are the same. They are: Key Ideas and Details, Craft and Structure, Integration of Knowledge and Ideas and Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity. The topics for Reading Foundational Skills are: Print Concepts, Phonological Awareness, Phonics and Word Recognition, and FluencyThere are ten standard statements for Literature as well as for Informational Text, and there are four standard statements for Foundational skillsTotal of twenty-four Reading Standard Statements. The standards are consistent throughout each sub-strand
- Writing also has four topics with a total of ten standard statements. Topics: Text Types and Purposes, Production and Distribution of Writing, Research and Presentation of Knowledge, and Range of Writing
- S & L has two topics, Comprehension and Collaboration and Presentation of Knowledge and Ideas with a total of six standard statements.
- Language has three topics, Conventions of Standard English, Knowledge of Language, and Vocabulary Acquisition and Use, with a total of six standard statements.
- Again, this is the overview of how the strands, topics, and standard statements are organized. Note: the number of topics and standard statements in this view are not accurate in terms of numbers.
- Here’s a look at one page from the new standards. It is broken up into three parts: the Strands, the topics, and finally the Standard Statement.Refer to the standards you downloaded for a closer view.
- Page 12 in documentThis breaks down the structure of the document within each strand. Strand at the left
- The CCSS has a specific coding system for each strands. Knowing this coding will be helpful when you are aligning your lesson plans to the new standards.
- This is an example of what you may see. This helps you understand specifically which strand, topic, and statement you may need to access.
- Note that there are sub standard statements for Language (3a). This is also the case for Writing as well
- COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS Anchor Standards in each Literacy Area. Linked to progressions of learning for vertical articulation.
- Layout of the strand, grade level, subheading and standard
- LayoutTurn to page 23Under speaking and listeningNotice strand, sub headings, how it is broken down
- Organization of the language standardsPlease note that this is is where the acquisition of language occurs, vocabulary,
- The Appendices are critical in this document, otherwise the standards would be bullets.A: Background – research, reading research, glossary, conventionsB: provides diverse examples of text exemplars and student samples – literary, informational, and content textC: provides informational, narrative, argumentative writing samples. There are two samples from WA state writing assessment.
- Appendix A is broken down into these sections
- Page 4 – These are reading text exemplars with performance tasks. This is not required reading curriculum, simply examples of text and where they fall into grade bands. We will revisit this later
- Turn to page 3 in Appendix C. These are annotated examples of writing samples. There are narratives. Examples are from our state.In the past we referred to these as anchor papers.At the bottom of each sample, you will notice annotations about what the writers knows and is able to doThis concludes navigation of the document. Question – on sticky notes in parking lot
- As you have navigated through the document, what instructional shifts did you see? Write and share with partner.
- In ELA is filters down to 6 important shifts in what we teach our students to insure they will have what they need when they graduate, whatever their choice of college or career. What do our students need to be competitive in a global society? See Nyengage document. Balance of Literary and Informational Text – not just for strategies but for content knowledgeTo next slide for specifics.
- Lit = stories, drama (new), and poetry. NF = Personal essays, speeches, opinion pieces, biographies, memoirs.The balance of text has shifted to include more informational text to match what our students will face as young adults in college or the workplace. As you can see, there is a gradual shift from the early grades where students will encounter informational text 50% of the time to grade 12 when informational text is taught 70%. A list of general list of some types of literature and Informational text is included. You might note the addition of drama as a literary genre.
