Our Goals
Guiding ABE Learners Toward
College and Career Readiness
By the end of this Webinar, you’ll be able to
• Identify levels and features of the College and
Career Readiness Standards (CCRS)
• Correlate the relationship between the CCRS and
Depth of Knowledge levels
• Unpack a CCRS writing standard
• Identify changes in math practices with the CCRS

In addition, you’ll have access to curriculum
planning resources that correlate to the CCRS.

HOW DOES DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE INFORM
THE COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS
STANDARDS?
LEVEL 3
• DOK quantifies higher level thinking.
Strategic Thinking
• Deeper thinking occurs at higher DOK levels
LEVEL 2
• DOK provides a road map for teachers.

DETERMINE DOK LEVEL
Example Standard:
Reading
Anchor 1: Read closely to
determine what a text
says explicitly and make
logical inferences from it
CCRS Level B standard:
Ask and answer who, what,
when, where, why, and how to
demonstrate understanding of
key details in a text.
LEVEL C:
Refer to details,
draw inferences
from the text
CCRS Level E standard:
Cite strong and thorough textual
evidence to support analysis as well
as inferences drawn from the text.

DETERMINE DOK LEVEL
Level B:
Write opinion
pieces on topics or
texts, supporting a
point of view with
reasons.
Example Standard: Writing
Anchor 1: Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive
topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.
Level B:
Write opinion
pieces on topics
or texts,
supporting a
point of view
with reasons.
Level C:
Write opinion
pieces on topics or
texts, supporting a
point of view with
reasons and
information.
ABE Students
Level D:
Write arguments
to support claims
with clear reasons
and relevant
evidence.
Level E:
Write arguments to
support claims in an
analysis of
substantive topics or
texts, using valid
reasoning and
relevant and
sufficient evidence.
ASE Students
Level C:
Write opinion
pieces on topics or
texts, supporting a
point of view with
reasons and
information.

Identifying Cause and
Effect/Summarizing and
Paraphrasing:
• Match the student’s CCR level
1. Why did some women, Susan B.
Anthony among them, vote in the
election of 1872?
2. Why did the suffragists begin to
focus their attention on changing the
Constitution?
3. Write a summary of the section “Call
to Action.”
4. Paraphrase, or state in your own
words, what the Nineteenth
Amendment says.
• Address the appropriate DOK level
• Require a response to a text

TEXT: ANY U.S. HISTORY BOOK, CIVIL RIGHTS CHAPTER
DOK Level 1/CCR Level B:
Summarize the civil rights movement in the 1960s. Do you agree or disagree with the
methods that were used?
DOK Level 2 / CCR Level C:
Compare the civil rights movement to something that has happened in your
experience or a current event. Did you agree or disagree with what was done?

Student picture
here
DOK Level 3 / CCR Level D:
Argue whether you believe we experience similar issues to the 1960s. Cite evidence
from the text and from life.
DOK Level 4 / CCR Level E:
Was the civil rights movement successful, or are we in need of another movement?
Analyze the success of the civil rights movement. Create a plan for a new movement
if you determine it is necessary, and if not, explain why citing evidence from the texts
and life.

Understand fraction a/b as a multiple of 1/b.
ANCHOR STANDARD:
For example, use a visual fraction model
to represent 5/4 as the product 5 × (1/4)
Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending
previous understanding of operations on whole numbers.
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to
multiply a fraction by a whole number. (4.NF.4)

Heard, Wendy, Teacher
Student Outcome:
Be able to use their deep understanding of the
content to inform their calculations, figure out
rules on their own, and extend their thinking to
other scenarios.
