Publisher Description: The stakes are high. Without artful instruction, many students will never acquire the literacy skills they need not only to meet Common Core Standards but also to meet the challenges this brave new world is sure to deal them. Carol JagoAgain and again the Common Core Standards state that students must read proficiently and independently but how do we achieve this when students are groaning about having to read demanding literature and looking for ways to pass the class without turning pages?
Students need books that mirror their own experiences and if you teach literature that you love, your students will be more likely to love it too. Let Carol show you how to create an individually designed curriculum in which students read literary works of comparable quality, complexity, and range and enjoy doing it CUSTOMER QUESTIONS: Question 1: In chapter 7 you discussed testing that teaches (also one of my favorite chapters ) You gave me some great, realistic ideas for assessment. What advice would you give to teachers that feel they must teach to the test? Some teachers feel if they don't assess the way their students are assessed on state exams they are not adequately preparing them. What would you say to those teachers?
Question 2: What do you think is the most important thing for teachers to understand or embrace as they move forward with implementing the Common Core State Standards?
