4. THE 15PERCENT RULE-The CCSSI defines adoption of the Common Core
standards to mean that an authorizing body, such as a state board of
education, has accepted 100 percent of the standards verbatim. States
are “allowed to add an additional 15 percent on top of the core” (CCSSI,
March 2010). The Initiative is silent on the process for identifying such
content, the format it should take, or how or whether such content
might be assessed.

STATE : A CUNY-NYSIEB GUIDE FOR EDUCATORS by ALEXANDER FUNK This guide provides a description of
the top ten languages Spoken by emergent bilinguals in addition to English. These descriptions include a
brief history of the language, the cultures of the people who speak the language, and their experiences in
New York State. It also includes some basic structural features of the languages as well as cognates and
basic phrases.
15. Translanguaging: http://www.nysieb.ws.gc.cuny.edu/files/2012/06/FINAL-Translanguaging-Guide-WithCover-1.pdf “The notion of code- switching assumes that the two languages of bilinguals are two separate
monolingual codes that could be used without reference to each other. Instead, translanguaging posits
that bilinguals have one linguistic repertoire from which they select features strategically to communicate
effectively.” For more, please see http://www.nysieb.ws.gc.cuny.edu/files/2012/06/FINALTranslanguaging-Guide-With-Cover-1.pdf (From:

(8/25/2014) Downloadable Resources https://www.engageny.org/resource/scaffolding-instructionenglish-language-learners-resource-guides-english-language-arts-and The resource guides were
developed by national experts in ELL instruction, Diane August [August American Institutes for Research
[AIR.org] and Diane Staehr Fenner [DSF Consulting http://www.dsfconsulting.net/], who have developed
these ELL scaffolds for New York State that are aligned to the Common Core and are research-based
instructional strategies for developing content and language with ELL students. The resource guides first
provide a description of each scaffolding strategy used, and explain the research basis for such
approaches. The guides then provide examples of lessons from each partner organization that has worked
with NYS educators to develop optional curriculum modules on EngageNY, embedding research-based
scaffolds into the lessons. The examples include instructions for teachers, actions for students, and
additional resources to facilitate implementing each scaffolding technique.
