CCLS Folder

The Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS) Folders are a school-wide system that tracks student progress in targeted CCLS skills in literacy and math. This tracking offers opportunities for all students to gain mastery through revisions and/or accommodating individual needs. Students self-assess their CCLS skills and conference with their teachers in order to discuss next steps.

Seven Literacy Skills in the Folder:

• establishing a precise and convincing position
• providing thorough explanations of the most important claims
• thoroughly analyzing both explicit and inferred ideas from texts
• developing counterclaims fairly and thoroughly
• representing content from reading materials accurately and fully
• ordering ideas in logical and clarifying ways
• using precise language and maintaining a command of conventions

Five Math Skills in the Folder:

• constructing viable arguments/critiquing the reasoning of others
• modeling with mathematics
• making sense of problems/persevere in solving them
• attending to precision
• looking for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
