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
