Common Core State Standards and English Language Learners


CCSS
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) & Literacy are the foundation of the K–12 Oregon Diploma for all students. The CCSS mathematics and ELA standards are defined by six shifts that focus instruction and four claims that describe what students should know and be able to do. The CCSS include reading and writing standards customized for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects.

The documents on this page provide all educators with resources that focus on the needs of English language learners. Educators should continue to reference the resources available on other CCSS pages for content-specific information.
