Common Core Resources

 

Citywide Instructional Expectations
To successfully prepare all students—including students with disabilities and English language learners—for life after high school, teachers need to create cognitively demanding learning experiences in their classrooms every day. To this end, we have developed a collective focus for the next school year that has been shaped by extensive consultation with both local and national experts, including more than 1,400 New York City principals—who participated in over 50 feedback sessions across the City this spring—and the writers of the Common Core State Standards.

The New York City Department of Education (DOE) serves more than 1.1 million students and their families in over 1,700 schools. We are committed to providing useful information to parents and families and offering them multiple opportunities to participate in our City’s public school programs and initiatives. This overview is designed to explain the Common Core Learning Standards and how they relate to your child’s education.

NYC DOE Common Core Library
The Common Core Library (CCL) is an online resource developed by the New York City Department of Education to support NYC educators with the adoption of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) over the next 3 years. The website will provide educators with meaningful, high-quality exemplars of instructional materials (e.g. performance tasks) as well as professional learning resources that have been developed and vetted by researchers and/or NYC’s Children First Intensive Citywide curriculum committee.

NYS PreK Learning Standards
In seeking to further reduce the student achievement gap, the New York State Board of Regents set forth a charge to align standards, assessments, curriculum, and instruction not just across kindergarten through grade 12, but across the more comprehensive and inclusive span of prekindergarten (PreK) to 16. This call to action was particularly timely considering the growth of state-funded PreK programs. It is intended to improve the quality and consistency of early childhood instruction for all PreK children across all settings.

5 Things Every Teacher Should be Doing to Meet the Common Core State Standards
When reading the Common Core State Standards, it’s easy to get caught up in the details of each standard. (“Okay, I need to teach compound-complex sentences.”) However, it’s also important to take a step back and reflect on the big picture. How will the standards change your teaching approaches? How do the standards alter the definition of what it means to be an effective teacher in the 21st century? The Common Core State Standards highlight five shifts that should be happening in every classroom.
