Are you short on time? Most of you are. We understand that work-related duties take up most of your day.
If you are not clear about Common Core and what is expected, this article is for you. It's short and too the point.
Feel free however, to explore other blog posts that offer more details and ideas for implementation in your Title I classes. We are an important piece of the pie especially as our schools make adjustments also. We'll help one another.
Send your questions to me and I'll see if I can refer you somewhere to find some answers. We encourage you to try different lesson styles with CC in mind and share them with colleagues at our staff meetings.

Please Don't Miss This Insightful Response to CC!
I hope all LEX teachers read this article by Marc Tucker, world renown researcher and president of the National Center on Education and the Economy. Tucker's thoughts in this article are responses to a Washington Post article on 8.15 by Marion Brady who wrote about 8 problems with Common Core State Standards.
Tucker responds to each "problem" with eloquent, insightful prose with thoughts that integrate and elevate the CC standards to the larger purpose of education.
Teachers...please read this using "close" reading. Go slow and savor Tucker's language and thoughts.
