This document provides an overview of converting curriculum to align with Common Core standards. It discusses:
1) Common Core assessments require higher-level thinking than simple recall and focus on understanding and application through questions like multiple choice requiring analysis, graphing, drag and drop, and rearranging or selecting text.
2) Performance tasks and inquiry-based learning are emphasized, with the former being multi-stage assessments requiring a range of skills to complete real-world connected goals, and the latter starting with questions or problems rather than facts to promote deeper learning.
3) Project-based learning links to real-world questions answered through long-term projects, while tips for lessons include using different texts for differentiation, practicing
The document addresses common myths about the Common Core State Standards, clarifying misconceptions regarding federal control, perceived difficulty, and uniformity in teaching methods. It emphasizes that while some teachers feel unprepared, the standards encourage diverse teaching strategies and enhance conceptual understanding in subjects like math and literacy. The text also discusses the blend of technology and educational resources available to support the implementation of these standards.
