Common Core Resources
Common Core website: http://www.corestandards.org/. Look at the Appendices for Literacy and Content Area Literacy. Appendix B has samples of Performance Tasks. Appendix C includes samples of student writing and rubrics for evaluation. Secondary teachers should pay attention to the Grades 6 to 12 Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Studies, http://www.corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy
· Oregon has individual grade and subject (15 pages each): for ELA and Literacy in History/Social Studies and Literacy in Science and Technical Subjects: http://www.ode.state.or.us/teachlearn/real/newspaper/Newspaper_Section.aspx?subjectcd=ELA
And for math, http://www.ode.state.or.us/teachlearn/real/newspaper/Newspaper_Section.aspx?subjectcd=MA
· Michigan specific resources with curriculum maps and lesson plans, Oakland ISD:

Sample tests by grade: http://dese.mo.gov/divimprove/assess/sbac.html#sbacsample
Sample tests by Item Types (Selected Response (SR), Constructed Response(CR), Extended Response(ER), Technology Enhanced(TE), and Performance Tasks(PT). These samples include student items, as well as sample student responses and evaluation rubrics where appropriate. Educators can use these items to get an idea of how to design classroom tasks that will prepare students for the SBAC. (Claim 4 includes the PTs) http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=3747
