WELCOME
This webinar is designed to explore
Common Core State Standards
(CCSS). The intent of the Common
Core Mathematics and English
language arts standards is to
develop the skills and concepts
required for the 21st century. The
new CCSS are evidence-based,
aligned with expectations for
success in college and career. Learn
how to authentically implement to
meet the full range of differentiation
necessary when educating the gifted
learner.
Rhonda Cameron, M.S., is the
Coordinator of Common Core
Instructional Programs for Orange
County Department of Education. She
has more than a decade of classroom
experience working with gifted
learners. She has taught elementary,
secondary, and university courses.
THE 21ST CENTURY IS…
Think about …
What will the world be
like 20 years or so from
now when entering
kindergartners are
finishing college and
entering into their
careers?
THE 21ST CENTURY IS…
Think about …
Twenty years from now,
what skills do you think
these students will
need to be successful?

CHIEF STATE SCHOOL OFFICERS
SCHOOL WAS…
SCHOOLS WILL…
California’s implementation of
the CCSS renews its vision
that all students graduating
from our public school system
be life long learners and have
the skills and knowledge
necessary to be ready to
assume their position in the
21st century global economy.
Emphasis on
the learning
process
SCHOOLS ACROSS THE U.S. WILL…
• Common suggests a
social contract and all
that it implies, shared
benefit, and equitable
treatments
• Core is of an essential,
irreducible set of
knowledge and skills
that apply to the realworld
COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS
45 States have adopted CCSS
48 States expected to adopt
• Provide consistent, clear
understanding of what
students are expected to
learn
• Robust and relevant to
the real world
• Reflect the knowledge
and skills needed for
success in college and
career
• Prepare students for
global economy
HONORING PROFESSIONAL JUDGEMENT
Evidence-based practices that inform the
programming standards in gifted
education relate to assessment,
curriculum, instruction, and grouping
issues, all of which are embedded within
the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)
ENGAGE STUDENTS IN THE
CCSS “HABITS OF MIND”
Mathematical Practices
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Make sense of problems and
persevere in solving them.
Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Construct viable arguments and
critique the reasoning of others.
Model with mathematics.
Use appropriate tools strategically.
Attend to precision.
Look for and make use of structure.
Look for and express regularity in
repeated reasoning.
ELA/Literacy Capacities
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
They demonstrate independence.
They build strong content knowledge.
They respond to the varying demands
of audience, task, purpose, and
discipline
They comprehend as well as critique.
They value evidence.
They use technology and digital
media strategically and capably.
They come to understand other
perspectives and cultures.
“Habits of mind” in tandem with the
academic content standards
intentionally focus, deepen,
differentiate, and accelerate learning
by empowering students to develop
21st century competencies.
COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS: ENGLISH
LANGUAGE ARTS / LITERACY SHIFT #1
Building knowledge
through content-rich
nonfiction and
informational texts
COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS: ENGLISH
LANGUAGE ARTS / LITERACY SHIFT #2
Reading and writing
grounded in evidence
from text
COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS: ENGLISH
LANGUAGE ARTS / LITERACY SHIFT #3
Regular practice with
complex text and its
academic vocabulary
PREPARING FOR COLLEGE AND CAREER:
COMPLEXITY, QUALITY, AND RANGE OF INFORMATIONAL TEXT
70% of reading across the grade should be informational by grade 12.
80% of reading done in College and Career is informational text
COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS
ANCHOR STANDARDS FOR READING
The emphasis is on reading
as a lifetime process
• Key Ideas and Details
• Craft and Structure
• Integration of Knowledge
and Ideas
• Range of Reading and Level
of Text Complexity
KEY IDEAS AND DETAILS
• Reader as Decoder
Determine
Cite textual evidence
Analyze
– Understand the text at
the surface level
• Reader as meaning
maker
– Comprehend the text at
the level intended by
author
– Requires invoking prior
knowledge to complete
each task
ROLES OF THE READER
Reader as
Decoder
Reader as
Meaning
Maker
• If the student stops revisiting
the text after these first two
roles, the reader is only a
consumer of the text
• The CCSS requires students
to understand what the text
means and be able to defend
their thinking about the text
with evidence from the text
CRAFT AND STRUCTURE
• Reader as text analyst
Interpret
Analyze
Assess
– Analyze the factors that
influence the author and
the text
– Focus on form-function
or purpose-structure
relationships
INTEGRATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND IDEAS
Integrate
Delineate
Evaluate
Analyze
• Reader as decoder
• Reader as meaningmaker
• Reader as text analyst
• Reader as text critic
– Understand the text
is not neutral and
evaluate existing
biases
COMMON CORE STANDARDS
PROMOTE HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS
THE NATURE OF
ADVANCED WORK FOR STUDENTS
Design authentic real-world
instruction designed
intentionally to promote
students’ “Habits of Mind”
and Academic Content
expertise
– Cognitive competencies
– Intrapersonal competencies
– Interpersonal competencies
TEXT SELECTION
Qualitative Values
• Text complex
• What resonates with
the reader
THE NATURE OF
ADVANCED WORK FOR STUDENTS
Students practice “Habits of
Mind” and gain Academic
Content expertise as they
exercise Close Reading of a
text.
– Construct understanding
directly from text
– Integrate knowledge blending
textual evidence with readers
interpretation, and prior
knowledge

Pace -consistent with the individual student’s
progress
Authentic Assignments/Tasks AND Assessments
Curricular modifications -acceleration,
enrichment, grouping, cluster grouping,
problem-based learning, curriculum compacting,
tiered lessons, independent study, and the use
of specific curriculum models
Engage gifted individuals from diverse
backgrounds in challenging curriculaunderstand differing points of view and cultures,
and reduce underachievement. Working in
groups with other gifted students can yield
academic benefits as well as enhance selfconfidence and communication skills

THE NATURE OF
ADVANCED WORK FOR STUDENTS
Students apply “Habits of
Mind” and Academic
Content expertise nonlinearly to solve real-world
problems, thus improving
learning outcomes
