Parent roadmaps in ELA/literacy provide guidance to
parents about what their children will be learning and
how they can support that learning in K-8. These provide
three-year snapshots showing how selected standards
progress from year to year so that students will be college
and career ready upon their graduation from high school.

Description
This first module includes a series of six sessions to
support teams in working together to build understanding
of the CCSSM by addressing the following questions:
 What are the mathematical practices?
 What CCSS content is now in my grade? (e.g.,
understanding critical areas and clusters)
 How does content in my grade fit in the new
mathematics progressions? (e.g., understanding
domains)

The Problems of the Month are designed to be used
school wide to promote a problem-solving theme. The
problem is divided into five levels, Level A through E, to
allow access and scaffolding for the students into
different aspects of the problem and to stretch students
to go deeper into mathematical complexity.
The Standards-based Writing Lesson Suites were written
to illustrate Oregon’s grade-level writing standards. The
suites were also designed to answer the question, “What
standards—specific writing skills, reading skills, and
research skills—need to be taught and established at each
grade level to enable a student to write an accomplished
expository or persuasive piece about content at that
level?”
These formative assessment tasks for grades 4-12 from
Clackamas ESD include the CCSS standard addressed,
directions to the teacher, and a scoring scale.
To further aid states as they continue to implement the
Common Core State Standards (Standards), the Hunt
Institute and the Council of Chief State School Officers
have commissioned a series of video vignettes that
explain the Standards in far greater depth.
Each video is an audiovisual resource that focuses on one
or more specific standards and usually includes
examples/illustrations geared to enhancing
understanding. The intent of each content-focused video
is to clarify the meaning of the individual standard rather
than to be a guide on how to teach each standard,
although the examples can be adapted for instructional
use.
