The Common Core Standard

Modified from Samantha Cleaver, Education.com Prior to common core, each state had a separate set of education standards, lists of skills that students are expected to do by the time they promote to the next grade. In response to concerns about American stu-dent achievement and just how prepared students are for college and careers, education leaders in 48 states, along with the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), have written a set of standards for student across the U.S. As a parent it is important to know what is expected of our children. Here’s what you should know and how to help your child prepare for the common core: The Common Core Standards are State-Driven The common core state standards are a set of learning skills that all

students should achieve. They set the benchmarks and guidelines for what each student should learn. They are focused on students being career and college ready. Students are focused on attaining 21st Century Skills.

Parent Idea: This year in Santa Ana, we will be implementing three units of study. Parent received pamphlets on Back to School Night with information about grade level standards. Ask your son or daughter’s teacher when the units will be implemented and ask your son or daughter what they are learning about throughout the year.

Preparing students to be Career and College Ready In general, standards set a progression of skills that students learn as they move through school from Kin-

dergarten through Grade 12. The goal is that students are career and college ready and have the skills to be successful in college and in the workplace.

Parent Idea: Review the standards for your child’s grade level and the grade level prior and after. Califor-nia has adopted the new Common Core State standards. In Santa Ana, we distributed a common core pamphlet explaining the common core standards for each grade level. If you did not receive them ask your school’s office for a copy.

Students will gain a Deeper understanding of the Core Concepts

The common core state standards focus on the important topics that students need to know and go more in depth into a few concepts. In math, that means that students focus on really understanding num-bers in elementary school and ill need to be able to solve problems with various responses instead of just one.

Parent Idea: As your child completes homework, help them hone in on the most important aspects and core concepts. Your child should also be able to explain how and where they found an answer.

The Reading Standards will Get More Difficult

As the common core is implemented, students will be expected to read more difficult text sooner, and dis-cuss what they read at a more complex level. For example, instead of pulling out individual text elements, such as characters, plot, and setting, students will be reading or listening to various sto-ries, and will compare stories using their understanding of text elements.

Parent Idea: As you read with your children, ask them in-depth why and how questions that encourage them to analyze, evaluate and synthesize texts. For example, read three different versions of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears and ask your child to compare and contrast them as you read. Ask your child to show you where they find the evidence to be able to answer the questions you ask. We have included bookmarks with questions to ask your child as they are reading.

Focus on Informational Text

To prepare students for college-level work and career, there will be more of a focus on informational and expository text. In middle school especially, students will be reading informational text, including original documents, from the Declaration of Independence to presidential speeches.

Parent Idea: Encourage your children to research topics they interested in using informational texts and original documents. Ask students to make sure they include where they find information and to find evidence that supports their research.

Estándares Estatales Básicos Comunes

Modificado de Samantha Cleaver, Education.com Anteriormente, cada estado utilizaba sus propios estándares; las cuales son listas de habilidades que se es-pera que los alumnos puedan completar antes de ser promovidos a otro grado. En respuesta a las preocu-paciones acerca de los logros de los estudiantes Americanos, y la preparación para la Universidad y para una carrera profesional, los lideres de la educación en 48 estados, junto con la Asociación Nacional de Go-bernadores y el Consejo de Directores de Escuelas Estatales (CCSSO) han escrito un set de estándares para todos los estudiantes del país. Como padres es importante saber lo que se espera de nuestros hijos. Esto es lo que usted deber saber para poder ayudar a sus hijos a pre-pararse y llenar los requisitos de los Estándares Estatales Básicos Co-munes. Los Estándares Estatales Básicos Comunes Son Implementados Por El Estado Los Estándares Estatales Básicos Comunes es un set de habilida-

des de aprendizaje que todos los estudiantes deberán lograr. Establecen reglas y metas según el grado de cada alumno, y se enfocan en prepararlos para que estén preparados para la Universidad y para una carrera profesional. Estos estándares también se enfocan en ayudar a que nuestros alumnos tengan habilidades del siglo 21.

Idea Para Los Padres: Este año en Santa Ana, estaremos implementando tres unidades de estudio. Los padres recibieron folletos la Noche de Regreso a Clases con información acerca de los estándares de acuerdo con los grados. Pregunte al maestro/a de sus hijos acerca de las fechas en las cuales estas unidades serán cubiertas, y durante el ci-clo escolar pregúntele a sus hijos acerca de lo que están aprendiendo. Preparando a Los Estudiantes Para La Universidad y Una Carrera En general, los estándares proporcionan habilidades de progreso que los estudiantes aprenden desde

que entran al Kínder, hasta terminar el grado 12. La meta es que los estudiantes estén preparados y que tengan las habilidades para tener éxito en la universidad y en la carrera que elijan.

Idea Para Los Padres: Repasen los estándares del grado actual de sus hijos al igual que los de el grado anterior y el próximo. El estado de California ha adoptado los nuevos Estándares Estatales Básicos Comunes, y en la ciudad de Santa Ana hemos distribuido un folleto con estos estándares para cado grado. Si usted no recibió este folleto, puede obtener una copia en la oficina de la escuela Los Estudiantes Obtendrán un Entendimiento Profundo de Los Conceptos Centrales • Los Estándares Estatales Básicos Comunes se enfocan en los temas importantes que los estudiantes deben saber, y también se enfocan mas a fondo en ciertos conceptos. En la materia de las Matemáticas, esto signi-fica que los estudiantes de primaria se enfocan en realmente entender los números y así poder contestar los problemas con más de una respuesta. Idea Para Los Padres: Mientras sus hijos hacen la tarea ayúdelos en los aspectos y conceptos centrales. Sus hijos deberían poder explicar cómo y dónde encontraron la respuesta. Los Estándares de Lectura Tendrán Mas Dificultad Conforme se implementen los Estándares, se espera que los estudiantes lean texto difícil con mas rapi-

dez, y que puedan discutir lo que hayan leído a un nivel mas complejo. Por ejemplo, en vez de utilizar elementos textuales individualmente, como personajes, locación, y el trama de una historia, ellos esta-rán leyendo y escuchando múltiples historias y así comparándolas usando su entendimiento de los ele-mentos textuales
