College and Career
Readiness Standards
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• In 2009, the Council of Chief State School
Officers (CCSSO) and the National Governors
Association Center for Best Practices (NGA
Center) committed to developing a set of
standards that would help prepare students for
success in college and career.
• In September 2009, College and Career
Readiness standards were released.
• This work became the foundation for the
Common Core.

The Common Core State
Standards
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
Benefits:
• Internationally benchmarked
• Evidence and research-based
• Consistent expectations – no matter
where you live
• Opportunity for shared resources and
reduced costs

California and the Common
Core State Standards
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
Senate Bill 1 from the Fifth
Extraordinary Session (SBX5 1):
– established an Academic Content
Standards Commission (ACSC) to develop
standards in mathematics and English
language arts
– stated that 85 percent of the standards
were to consist of the CCSS with up to 15
percent additional material
– directed the State Board of Education
(SBE) to adopt or reject recommendations

Common Core State Standards for English
Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social
Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
The Standards comprise three main sections:
– a comprehensive K–5 section
• includes standards for foundational skills
– two content area-specific sections for grades
6–12
• one for English-language arts
• one for literacy in history/social studies,
science and technical subjects

Common Core State Standards for English
Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social
Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent

Key Design Considerations
• Organized around the College and Career
Readiness (CCR) Anchor Standards that are
identical across all grades and content area and
define cross-discipline literacy expectations to
prepare students for career/college
• Integrated model of literacy, with shared
responsibility for students’ literacy, including
expectations for reading and writing in the social
and natural sciences
• Research and media skills blended into standards

Common Core
“Shifts” in Instruction
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
Expectations for instruction embedded
in the standards:
• Building knowledge through content-rich
nonfiction
• Reading, writing and speaking grounded in
evidence from text, both literary and
informational
• Regular practice with complex text and its
academic language
What does that look like?

Reading
Shifts instruction to focus on:
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• Questions and tasks that are text
dependent, where use of supporting
evidence is text-based
• Careful selection of texts, meeting the
complexity requirements at each grade
• Increased use of informational text
• Connections between reading and
writing across the curriculum
11
Writing
Shifts focus of student writing to:
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
- Argumentative and informative writing, using
evidence from sources as support
- Short, focused research projects
- Three types and purposes:
•Opinions/Arguments
•Informative/Explanatory
•Narratives

13
Language
Shifts focus on vocabulary acquisition and use
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• Engage in the study of vocabulary needed to
access grade level complex texts (i.e. both
academic and domain-specific words and
phrases)
• Learn a variety of strategies to discern meaning
of words in the context they are used
• Understand figurative language, word
relationships and nuances
Conventions of Language
• Use knowledge of language and conventions of
standard English grammar when writing,
speaking, listening, and reading
14
Literacy in History/Social Studies,
Science, and Technical Subjects
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
“Meeting the demands of the Literacy
Standards requires substantially
expanding the literacy requirements in
history/social studies as well as in
science and technical subjects. The
adoption of the Literacy Standards in
History/Social Studies, Science and
Technical Subjects therefore requires
several significant shifts in these
curricula.”

for reading and writing

and publish writing and present the relationships
between information and ideas efficiently as well
as to interact and collaborate with others. (8.W.6)
