Spanish Instruction and the Common Core:
The Implications for K–20 Spanish Teaching and
Learning
978-1-62263-148-3
This session addresses the
Common Core State
Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in
Science, Social Studies/History and Other Technical
Subjects
(or ELA CCSS; 2011), their relationship
with the
National Language Standards
(ACTFL et al,
1995–2011), and the implications and instructional
shifts that teaching to this set of literacy standards
may have for World Language instruction, and
the speculation that it might be as far-reaching
as to impact Spanish instruction in colleges and
universities. Participants will receive information
about the
Common Core en español
(2013), its
intended purpose and audience; the Assessment
Consortia formed to construct and administer
Common Core-based state-wide assessments; and
other Common Core-related paradigm shifts with
implications for the Spanish classroom, such as the
literary v. informational texts ratios that the Common
Core documents apparently prescribe.

Proficiency in the Elementary Spanish as a World
Language Classroom

enhance teaching and learning Spanish at the
