Next Generation Standards

AKA: The Old Common Core Standards

Standards...what do we mean when we say teach to the standards?

�

But we also have National Standards �

The New York State Education Department is responsible for setting student learning expectations (standards) for what all students should know and be able to do as a result of skilled instruction.

Breakout Room Discussion:

​

1. What type of material do they cover?
2. Will this help you on a day to day basis of what to teach?
3. If not, why do we have them?

​

​

Next Generation Standards

• Tend to cover literacy skills… these are needed in social studies classrooms
• Content standards are found in NYS Social Studies Framework Standards
• You will be referring to both, Next Gen Standards and the NYS SS Framework Standards, when writing lesson

What type of literacy skills do you see in a SS Classroom?

Literacy in the SS Classroom

• A high degree of proficiency in literacy is essential as students attempt to acquire and build knowledge in each of the content areas.
• Students must be able to read social studies textbooks, analyze historical documents, as well as respond to issues in their subject area content through speaking, writing, and crafting digital responses.
• Students must also acquire content specific vocabulary for each of the disciplines in order to achieve success.
• In social studies and history, teachers can apply these standards as students interpret and analyze both primary and secondary sources.
• For example: Students need to develop a capacity for determining a text’s central idea (Reading Standard 2) as well as to understand how point of view shapes a document’s message and structure (Reading Standard 6).

Continued….

• As most teachers know, a well-designed, richly developed lesson includes many standards from across a range of domains.
• The Next Gen Standards center on reading , writing , listening and speaking.
• These standards push literacy into social studies instruction
• The standards push skills, no content included in these…all skills

​

How to read the Grades 6-12 Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies

• The standards are divided into grade bands:
• Grades 6-8
• Grades 9-10
• Grades 11-12

​

• The standards divided into READING and WRITING Standards
• There are READING ANCHOR Standards and WRITING Anchor Standards

Reading Anchor Standards

Writing Anchor Standards

Remember each Anchor Standard is Broken Down into Grade Bands – notice this is grade 6-8 for READING

Remember each Anchor Standard is Broken Down into Grade Bands – notice this is grade 6-8 for WRITING

Note:

• When you are browsing the standards…Science and Technical subjects are included…
• You should be looking at the reading for social studies, and for writing, all subjects are included, social studies does not have separate writing standards.

Browse the standards…figure out how to read and decide which sections you will need

How do you use NYS Next Gen Standards

• For each lesson plan you will have to state which standards you students will be using to complete the lesson.
• Think about it…each lesson will ask students to learn and or complete a skill…they will be reading , writing, listening, and speaking.
• Since your students will be completing at least one skill you, as the teacher, will be covering at least one standard in each lesson
• Some lessons will have multiple Next Gen Standards listed and some lessons might just have one standard.
• Do not force standards, having more standards do not make for a better lesson.

How Do You Document the Next Gen Standards in a Lesson Plan?

• In a lesson plan, you would write:
• NYS Next Generation Stands RH9.3, WH9.1
• What does this mean….
• RH9.3- Reading, History, Grade 9 (which would fall in grade band 9-10), 3 is the standard in reading.

So here is the standard it is referring to-> RH 3: Analyze in detail a series of events described in a text; determine whether earlier events caused later ones or simply preceded them.

In Lesson Plan How Do You Document the Next Gen Standards?

• In a lesson plan you would write:
• NYS Next Generation Stands RH9.3, WH9.1
• What does this mean for WH9.1…. Writing, History, Grade 9 and writing standard 1

​

• So here is the standard it is referring to->

WHST 1: Write arguments focused on discipline-specific content. a. Introduce precise claim(s), distinguish the claim(s) from alternate or opposing claims, and create an organization that establishes clear relationships among the claim(s), counterclaims, reasons, and evidence. b. Develop claim(s) and counterclaims objectively, supplying data and evidence for each while pointing out the strengths and limitations of both claim(s) and counterclaims in a discipline-appropriate form and in a manner that anticipates the audience's knowledge level and concerns. c. Use words, phrases, and clauses to link the major sections of the text, create cohesion, and clarify the relationships between claim(s) and reasons, between reasons and evidence, and between claim(s) and counterclaims. d. Establish and maintain a formal style and appropriate tone while attending to the norms and conventions of the academic discipline, purpose, and audience for which they are writing. e. Provide a concluding statement or section that follows from or supports the argument presented.

You are teaching a lesson that has this standard written down

RH 11. 7

What standard are you referring to? Look it up and see if you can identify the correct standard.

The answer is on the next slide

Did you identify the correct standard?

• RH 7: Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., visually, quantitatively, as well as in words) in order to address a question or solve a problem.

I walk into a class…I see…

​

• 7th graders comparing two items:
• 1. a primary document diary entry describing the he Battle in Gettysburg July 3^rd , 1863
• 2. Textbook entry of the Battle of Gettysburg.

​

Look through your Next Generation Standards and identify the standard the activity represents.

Remember to write it in the correct format.

RH7. 9

I walk into your 12th grade PIG class… I see…

Students writing an argumentative essay on:

​

Should the police force be a reflection of the culture and ethics of the society they serve?

​

Assignment:

​

Students need an intro/conclusion/ claims/counter claims/ evidence.

​

Additionally, they need to be mindful of the words and phrases they chose. Be sure to use good transitional words and phrases when moving between arguments to demonstrate your logical progression of thought.

WH 12. 1a-e

Your Turn…. Go to breakout rooms and work with your group to …

• Design a classroom activity, just like I did on the last few screens.
• Write out a small snippet describing what the students would be doing.
• Return from breakout group and share with the larger group.
• See if people can identify the correct Next Generation Standard for the activity.

Two people to a breakout room-

​

Create an activity that demonstrates a reflection of at least one Next Generation Standard. Short and sweet- very similar to what I had posted on the last two slides.

​

We will return from breakout rooms, dyad will share the activity and the rest of the class will identify the standards.
