CC Math for Struggling Learners - Ways to Help

This article was written with us in mind, I'm sure.  We struggle to implement the more demanding challenges of Common Core expectations in math to students who are already struggling.  How to do this?  Most math teachers claim to be unprepared to help struggling math learners.  Read how some teachers are helping them with close-reading skills, drawing out concepts of word problems, discussions of possible solutions to problems.  We've discussed some of these strategies in our own classes and also in helping Ell students.  What is concerning so many teachers are the new assessments currently being written.  There is a lot of uncertainty around.  You are not alone.
