Message-ID: The English Language Arts (ELA) Crosswalk Is Here! To assist Oregon districts and schools in the transition to the Common Core, a K-12 Crosswalk between the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for ELA and Oregon's ELA Standards was prepared for each CCSS strand-Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language. The goal of the Crosswalk is to help Oregon districts make sense of the new CCSS without having to invest in creating their own crosswalk. It was designed as a district planning tool and professional development resource. Here's how it works: Each CCSS standard is compared to Oregon's standards. Following each comparison is a Summary Analysis of the comparison, a list of Gaps between the two sets of standards, and possible Implications for Implementation. This section has been left mostly blank for districts and schools to note site-specific implications during transition planning. The Comments column on the right side of the page aggregates observations for each row. For additional information, please contact: Julie Anderson at 503-947-5613 or julie.anderson at state.or.us. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
