The mission of the Common Core State Standards is to “provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them.” Ultimately, the CCSS aim to create the framework for a well-rounded education that will prepare students for the global economy. To date, 45 states and the District of Columbia have signed on to adopt the CCSS. What sets the CCSS initiative apart from past educational initiatives?
Supporters of the CCSS emphasize the focus on developing students into 21st century learners rather than getting them to perform well on tests.
Importance is placed on participating in higher-order thinking by understanding the processes behind concepts. Specifically, the standards focus on how students learn, not just on what they learn (Farrell 2011).”
How teachers support students before reading, during reading, and after reading? Scaffolding before reading (activating prior knowledge), scaffolding during reading (relying on “text dependent questions”), and different scaffolding after reading, with a much stronger focus on oral response and collaboration among small groups of students before students independently write a response independently.
