The Common Core Standards

The K-6 section for ELA is broken down into “reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language.” The College and Career Readiness for ELA standards focus on “key ideas and details, craft and structure, integration of knowledge and ideas, and the range of reading and level of text complexity.” The Common Core Strand Standards consist of “text complexity, growth of comprehension, writing, responding to reading, research, speaking and listening, and language conventions.” Whereas, the Florida State Standards (cpalms.org) for ELA are organized by similar strands, such as “language, reading, listening and speaking, and writing.” However, each strand is defined into different clusters. Within the clusters are “key ideas and details, craft and structure, integration of knowledge, and range of reading and level of text complexity.”
The Common Core and Florida State Standards are developed to group and unify the standards that help develop a student’s knowledge. Both are defined at the grade level and then broken down into smaller sections by their strand. The Florida State Standards use clusters to further break down each strand. These clusters provide a detailed description, resources, related courses, and stem activities that align with the standard. The organization of these standards in a cluster, provide teachers with a guide to aid in developing the necessary foundation for students to build
