ELACC11-12RL1: Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to

figurative language, symbolism, plot events and main ideas) in a variety of texts representative of different genres (i.e., poetry,

Text Complexity
Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent
“Making Education Work for All Georgians”
www.gadoe.org
What do we know?
• K-12 Reading texts have seen a decline in
the levels of difficulty over the last halfcentury
• The reading demands of college and
workforce training have held steady or
increased over the past 50 years
• Only between 7% and 15% of elementary
and middle school reading is expository
Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent
“Making Education Work for All Georgians”
www.gadoe.org
Qualitative aspects of text
complexity best measured by an
attentive human reader, such as levels
of meaning or purpose; structure;
language conventionality and clarity;
and knowledge demands
Quantitative
aspects
of text complexity, such as word
length or frequency, sentence
length, and text cohesion, that
are difficult if not impossible for a
human reader to evaluate
efficiently, especially in long
texts, and are thus today
typically measured by computer
software
Reader and task considerations focus on the inherent complexity of text,
reader motivation, knowledge, and experience and the purpose and complexity of the task
at hand. This kind of assessment is best made by teachers employing their professional
judgment.

Text Complexity Rubric
• Intended to assist
educators in evaluating
multiple dimensions of a
text.
• The rubric addressees the
three aspects of text
complexity required for
consideration in Common
Core Appendix B:
qualitative, quantitative,
and reader/task match.
• Each of these three
dimensions includes
specific relevant
categories, each of which
is listed with a short
explanation to assist
users in making the best
possible determination.

Integrated Learning
Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent
“Making Education Work for All Georgians”
www.gadoe.org
WHAT IS INTEGRATED LEARNING?
Although the standards are divided into strands for clarity, the
processes of communication are closely connected.
Reading comprehension and student writing always require direct
textual evidence for claims, inferences, and analyses. Research and
media skills are blended into the standards as a whole.
To be ready for college, workforce training, and life in a technological
society, students need the ability to gather, comprehend, evaluate,
synthesize, and report on information and ideas, to conduct original
research in order to answer questions or to solve problems.
The need to conduct research and to produce and consume text and
media is embedded into every aspect of today’s curriculum. Similarly,
research and media skills and understandings are embedded
throughout the standards rather than treated in a separate section.

As learning - and research about learning - evolves, we are beginning to
understand that meaningful scholarship is really a whole universe of
simultaneous events.
Common Core emphasizes a 21st century classroom that transcends the
idea of teaching standards in isolation and embraces a holistic approach
where reading, writing, listening, speaking, and language are woven
together to engage students with meaningful and relevant lessons.

• Georgia is a governing partner in the PARCC consortium
• States working together to develop a common set of K-12
expectations in English and math
• Anchored in CCR standards what it takes to be ready for
college and careers
• Creating an instructional framework to create a pathway
to college and career readiness by the end of high school,
mark students’ progress toward this goal from 3rd grade
up, and provide teachers with timely information to inform
instruction and provide student support
