Why are the common core standards such a good thing for the highly mobile Military child.

1. College and Career Ready
Standards: What Does That
Mean for the Military Connected
Student?

What Does the Common
Core Mean to You?

3. What do we already know about
the College and Career Readiness
and the Common Core Standards?
T-P-S Activity
Turn to a neighbor (or 2) and discuss
what you already know about CCR
Standards for about 2 minutes.

4. To succeed in 21st century college and
careers, students need to be able to:
1. Solve problems
2. Manage oneself
3. Adapt to change
4. Analyze /
conceptualize
5. Reflect on /
improve performance
6. Communicate
7. Work in teams
8. Create / innovate / critique
9. Engage in learning throughout life

5. What are the Common Core
Standards?
• Fewer, clearer, and higher
• Aligned with college and work
expectations
• Rigorous content requiring higher-order
thinking and application of knowledge
• Internationally benchmarked
• Evidence-and/or research-based

7. #MilFams hold
education in high
regard and use it
to make decisions:
• about keeping
family together
when new
orders arrive.
• about staying in
the Military or
getting out.

8. So what is the impact of the new
standards on
Military students?
• The increased likelihood of comparable
education across districts and states
reduces obstacles to mobile students
regardless of their zip code

10. What do you do as a
teacher when your new 7th
grade class walks in the
door excited for the new
year and one of the
students says, “This is the
same book I used last year
in 6th grade in Georgia.”
and you are the only show
in town?

15. Learning to tell time
• CCSS.Math.Content.1.MD.B.3 Tell and write time in hours
and half-hours using analog and digital clocks.
• CCSS.Math.Content.2.MD.C.7 Tell and write time from analog
and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and
p.m.
• CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.1 Tell and write time to the
nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve
word problems involving addition and subtraction of time
intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a
number line diagram.
• CCSS.Math.Content.4.MD.A.2 Use the four operations to
solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time,…

16. Adverbs in the CCSS
• CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.2.1e Use adjectives
and adverbs, and choose between them
depending on what is to be modified.

17. • Increased alignment between K-12 and post-
secondary narrows the gap in college and
career readiness
– This will influence families in their decisions to move
or not with their Service Member because there are
often feelings of their child not being “ready” for
college if they graduate from a particular
school/state.
So what are other impacts of the
new standards on Military students?

19. One last impact is on
RESEARCH
• Increased likelihood of comparable
assessments between states allows for
longitudinal data tracking
