We are preparing for the implementation of the common core standards in 2014-15. California has adopted these standards along with fortyfive states, the District of Columbia, four territories, and the Department of Defense Education Activity. For the first time, we as a nation will be consistent in our academic expectations for all students. Common core standards are more rigorous and move away from memorization of facts to critical thinking, creativity and innovation, communication and collaboration. Students will still be assessed and expected to be proficient but the assessments will emphasize different types of measurements. We educators couldn't be happier because the skills and knowledge gained will better equip our students for the 21st Century. The California Department of Education has published eight ways common core standards will change classroom instruction. They are the following: In Mathematics: 1. Greater focus: fewer topics and greater depth of study 2. Coherence: Build on students' understanding by introducing new topics from grade to grade 3. Skills, Understanding and Application: emphasize the need to know procedures fluently, develop a deep conceptual understanding and apply knowledge to solve problems 4. Emphasis on Practice: Eight criteria for practice – making sense of problems, persevering to solve them, reasoning abstractly and quantitatively, using appropriate tools strategically, and constructing viable arguments and critiquing the reasoning of others. In Language Arts: 5.
