2012-13 Common Core State Standards WebEx Series

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects and Mathematics were adopted by the Oregon State Board of Education on October 28, 2010. These standards are the foundation of the K-12 Oregon Diploma.

Moving to common standards in two content areas represents a major change for Oregon. ODE and its educational partners are committed to providing educators with the tools they need to understand and implement the CCSS.

	English Language Arts The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts (ELA) & Literacy are the foundation of the K-12 Oregon Diploma; the Essential Skills for reading and writing are embedded within the CCSS.		Mathematics The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics are the foundation of the K-12 Oregon Diploma; the Essential Skill of "apply mathematics" is embedded within the CCSS.		Oregon-Developed Resources Many districts and ESDs around Oregon have developed tools and resources to support their educators as they move forward with Common Core implementation.
	Social Sciences In the CCSS, literacy is a shared responsibility within the school. Teachers in all subject areas use their content area expertise to help students meet the particular challenges of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language in their respective fields.

Career and Technical Education (CTE) Both CTE and CCSS have the goal of college and career readiness. CTE is intrinsically tied with the CCSS and can provide the context for the learning described in the CCSS.
