- Title
California's Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts: What's New, What's Not, and What's Missing.
- Authors
Moustafa, Margaret
- Abstract
Beginning August 2013 California will replace its current English-Language Arts Content Standards with California's Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts. This article provides background information on the development of the standards and an overview of what's new, what's not, and what's missing in the new standards. Among those things new is the expectation that students will independently read and write increasingly complex literary and informational text as they progress through school and the expectation that teachers of history/social studies and science will help students read and write in their respective fields. What's not new is a traditional view of beginning reading. Among those things missing is curriculum alignment in history/social studies and science across states and equal access to books.
