About the Common Core

The Common Core is a set of high quality academic standards in mathematics and English language arts (ELA).

In 2009 the state school chiefs and governors that comprise CCSSO and the NGA Center coordinated a state-led effort to develop the Common Core State Standards. Designed through collaboration among teachers, school chiefs, administrators, and other experts, the standards provide a clear and consistent framework for educators.

The standards were created to ensure that all students graduate from high school with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in college, career, and life, regardless of where they live. The standards define the knowledge and skills students should gain throughout their K-12 education in order to graduate high school prepared to succeed in entry-level careers, introductory academic college courses, and workforce training programs.

Forty-two states, the District of Columbia, four territories, have voluntarily adopted and are moving forward with the Common Core.

The Amazing Brain

We carry around a mass of wrinkly material in our heads that weighs more than a kilogram. It controls everything we do from thinking and learning to feeling emotions and breathing. This incredible structure is your brain.

If, for example, a cup is going to fall off the counter and you have only seconds to react, your brain quickly processes the signals coming from your eyes. It calculates how fast you will need to move in order to catch it before it falls and smashes on the floor. No computer can perform such a

complex process.

Your brain contains over 100 billion microscopic cells called neurons. That is so many that it would take over 3000 years to count them all. Whenever you dream, think, or move, it it because of tiny electrical signals racing between these neurons between billions of neuron highways. Your neurons create and send more messages than all the phones in the entire world.

Sensory neurons on your skin can relay information to your brain at speeds of over 240 kilometers per hour. If your hand touches something very hot or a bee lands on your skin, very high speed is needed to deal with these situations.

The act of learning changes the structure of your brain. When you learn to ride a bike, your brain sends bike riding messages along certain pathways of neurons, forming new connections.

It is a well-known fact that exercise makes your heart beat faster. Sports such as running and playing soccer are good for your body, and can also improve your mood. Additionally, scientists have recently learned that for a period of time after exercising, your brain is actually more receptive to learning. So, if you’re having trouble completing your homework, maybe you should go jogging or play a game of tennis. It might improve your brain power.

前言

经过近两年的出版策划与编写工作，这套以美国标准教学大纲(Common Core Standards)为蓝本、由加拿大英语教师编写的《Smart Reading》如愿问世了！这是多年前我们出版麦加菲《美国语文读本》时的一个心愿——为国内准备留学的孩子们提供更多优质的现代西方学

校教学资源，让他们了解与之同龄的英语国家学生在读些什么、学些什么……出国前多做些

同步训练，这样既提升了孩子们的英语语言能力，又加强了对西方课程标准的了解与学习。

当他们未来置身差异不小的“洋课堂”时，便会显得更加从容和适应。

在风景优美、充满英式风情的温哥华岛上， 我们的出版愿望一步步得以实现！为中国的未来留学生出版这一系列图书，对我们也是一个挑战。

一是如何寻找合适的英语为母语的作者。经过多次广告发布、面谈筛选之后，我们逐渐形成了一个固定的教师作者群体，他们任教于加拿大公立学校或英语教学机构，大多具有ESL 教学经验，有些人还在亚洲国家中小学工作过多年，对亚洲学生的学习特点有所了解。这样编写出来的书才能更符合中国学生的需求。

二是采用什么样的写作标准。西方中小学没有统编教材，但教辅图书也不少。通过对这些图书的收集整理和分析，我们找到了一个较为通用的教学标准——美国现代学校教育使用的“共同核心标准”(Common Core State Standards)。这一标准非常类似于中国的统一教学大纲。因此， 我们新出版的“Common Core”系列，将以这一目前美国学校流行的标准为指导，与现行美国学校的教学标准一致，同时参考了其他英语国家的教学标准与要求，供未来赴所有英语国家留学的孩子们使用。

三是编写内容的现代感。为了提高学生的学习兴趣，我们要求作者紧密结合西方现代生活与新技术广泛应用时代，让读者接触到时兴的英语素材、在真实世界里学习英语和课程。因此，“Common Core”系列图书，在内容上尽量满足学生对新知的认识与理解。

四是难度标准的把握。由于这一系列是为未来出国留学孩子所准备，所以我们采用全英文编写方式，让学生适应全英文环境下进行阅读与学习。难度保持与英语国家各年级的标准一致，这样让读者真实了解西方学生的水平。中国学生在使用时，可以根据自己的实际水平，选择合适难度的分册，循序渐进地加以提高。

对于“共同核心标准”这一概念，中国家长和孩子可能有些陌生。它是美国、加拿大等国家的幼儿园和中小学所使用的统一教学标准。在美国和加拿大，学校教育系统是由各个州（省）政府所监管。这意味着，阿肯色州与俄勒冈州的孩子们在学校所学的内容会不太相同。当他完成K12 教育，继续接受更高阶段的教育或步入职业生涯时，如果所受教育采用不一样的标准，便由此产生一些问题。尤其当某个家庭从一个州搬迁至另一个州时，孩子的续读或许会出现一些麻烦。“共同核心标准”正是着力于解决这类问题。它是由美国一些著名教育家与政界、商界很有影响力的人物极力倡导而制定，以尽量弥合各州之间的教育差异。目前为此，美国42 个州、哥伦比亚地区、4 个领地都在使用这一教学标准。比尔·盖茨先生也极力赞助这一标准的推广。

共同核心标准，涵盖了幼儿园至12 年级，旨在培养学生的批判性思考能力，并传授各年级的学科知识。让他们学会设立问题、自我思考，将所学内容进行关联和牵引。共同核心标准，首先注重的是教学生如何思考，然后是学习内容。注重记忆基础之上的知识与技能训

练和相互关联。这一标准具有以下特点：

1. 建立在大量研究与事实基础之上而制定；

2. 标准清晰、易于理解并保持教学的延续性；

3. 结合未来的大学教育与职业发展；

4. 丰富的内容与知识应用，高度训练学生的思考能力；

5. 融汇了各州教学标准的优势；

6. 参考了其他国家的教育优点，让学生未来更好地适应全球化经济与社会。

目前，共同核心标准包括两类课程：一是英语语言艺术（English Language Arts，简称“ELA”），另一门是数学。ELA 又包括阅读、写作、听说等各个领域。这些语言能力，也是学习其他科目的关键，如科学、历史与信息技术等。所以它不是一门简单的英语科目。数

学大纲，不是重点强调记忆，而是让学生在训练技能的同时，能获取解决数学问题的答案。

要求学生运用数学知识和技能，解决真实世界中的问题。因此数学对学生来讲，会变得更加

有趣而充满真实感。

围绕“共同核心标准”，Holybird Publishing 利用北美的教师资源，策划出版了三个系列：《Smart Reading》、《Smart Math》、《Smart Science》。让中国学生学起来更有目标和参照标准。在完全按照美国“共同核心标准”编写的同时，我们也参考了其他英语国家的教学标准与难度，因此对所有未来在西方留学的孩子都可适用，帮助他们提升英语水平、建立自我学习策略，训练思考能力。夯实了这些基础，未来学习便会游刃有余！
