What are the capacities of the
literate individual?
• They demonstrate independence and interdependence
• They build strong content knowledge and can apply the
! knowledge to new situations
• They respond to the varying demands of the audience,
! the task, the purpose and the discipline
• They comprehend as well as critique
• They value evidence
• They use technology and digital
! media strategically and capably
• They come to understand others
! perspectives and cultures


Understanding the http://creativecommons.org/
Common Core

What are all the key elements in the English Language Arts
(ELA) Common Core?
• Provide equity for all students
• Reading, writing, speaking, listening
• Complexity of text
• Claim and Evidence
• Speaking and Listening
• Conventions
• Language
• Social Studies and Science Standards
• 50/50 and 70/30 reading
• Standards are fewer, clearer, higher
• Text-based answers
• Academic Vocabulary
• Writing: Informative and argumentative
• Applying what they have learned
to a new situation
• Common National Assessments

Answers:
1. Prothalli 4. Roots
2. Fronds 5. Rhizomes
3. Stipes


AP BIOLOGY
Question #2:
HCO3H2O + C02
The equation above shows a reversible reaction that
occurs in blood. An Olympic marathoner training at
high altitude in Colorado feels dizzy and begins
hyperventilating while taking a run. Her blood pH is
elevated, resulting in alkalosis. How will normal blood
pH be restored?

pH be restored?

Answers:
1. An increase in 02 concentration in the plasma will lead to a
decrease in H+ concentration.
2. An increase in CO2 concentration in the plasma will lead to
an increase in H+ concentration.
3. A decrease in sweating will lead to an increase in HCO3
concentration.
4. A decrease in respiration will lead to an increase in
plasma O2 concentration.

What will be different in the (ELA) Standards
for teachers, students and parents?
Teachers: Scaffolding ~ The same core standards
k-12; Ability for teachers to share powerful lessons
across the nation
Students: Building stamina for critical thinking,
critical writing and complex reading
Parents: Reporting may not look the same

Mind Shifts

Who Owns
the Learning?


W: In the 21st century, it is essential that the US compare its
educational system to systems around the World

I: Students frequently learn content knowledge and skills in
isolation. Students need to be able to Integrate the
information and then apply it to a new situation

R: It is essential stakeholders Reflect on what students really
need to “know, understand, do and “be”

E: Students must Engage with complex text:
they need to learn to read like detectives
and write like investigative reporters

D: Students must Discover meaning through
text, analyze the text and compare it to
other related texts
