SCS -TNCore Rollout 2013
Study Group # 1
Common Core State Standards Module 1:
An Introduction: Making Sense of Tasks
Setup and Implementation
Session Goals
Review the TNCore Beliefs
Reflect on an overview of the
Instructional Shifts and Changes
from 2012-13 SY to 2013-14 SY to
make sense of the
Implementation and Rationale of
CCSS impacts student
performance
Compare and contrast the four
cognitive levels of a task using
TAG (Task Analysis Guide)
Analyze and Label 3 Math Tasks to
determine the cognitive demand
level of each task
Rationale
Tasks form the basis for students’
opportunities to learn what mathematics
is and how one does it, yet not all tasks
afford the same levels and opportunities
for student thinking.
By analyzing instructional and
assessment tasks that are for the same
domain of mathematics, teachers will
begin to identify the characteristics of
high level tasks, differentiate between
those that require problem-solving and
those that assess specific mathematical
reasoning.
(IFL TNCore Training Manual, 2013).
Why is this important?
Instructional Shifts
Focus strongly where the Standards focus
2. Coherence: think across grades, and link to major topics* within grades
3. Rigor: in major topics* pursue:
•conceptual understanding,
•procedural skill and fluency, and
•application
with equal intensity.
