Common Core Creates Opportunities For Publishers. Copyright © 2014 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required. This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. And I'm Renee Montagne with an opportunity for publishers. As NPR's Lynn Neary reports, Common Core is influencing which books those publishers, known as trader publishers, produce, and the titles you'll see at your local bookstore. LYNN NEARY, BYLINE: The first thing you need to understand about the Common Core, says publishing consultant Neal Goff, is that it is not a curriculum and was never meant to be. NEAL GOFF: How they read it, understand it, interpret it, analyze it, can speak to each other about it, can write about it.
NEARY: That gives teachers a lot of freedom in assigning books. RILEY LAMEER: Eww, disgusting - Komodo dragon. NEARY: Six-year-old Riley Lameer sits cross-legged on the floor at the Politics & Prose bookstore in Washington, D.C., flipping through the pages of a book about animals. NEARY: Oh.

Third-grade teacher Sherry Frangia, left, high-fives student Jayla Hopkins during a math lesson at Silver Lake Elementary School in Middletown, Del.
Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2013. Silver Lake has begun implementing the national Common Core State Standards for academics. (AP) Conversation about the Common Core standards has been one of the most divisive in education for the last couple of years. The term is thrown around in most education circles, but the question for many might remain, what exactly is the common core. How will it affect teachers and students? Well, about eight percent of Massachusetts students will be affected by it next month when PARCC field testing begins — PARCC is one of the testing organizations associated with the Common Core standards. Some states have rejected the test, saying it will limit local educator autonomy. Guests Kay Merseth, senior lecturer on education at the Havard Graduate School of Education.

The Times and the Common Core Standards: Reading Strategies for 'Informational Text' Update | Sept. 2012: We’ll be exploring the new Common Core State Standards, and how teaching with The Times can address them, through a series of blog posts. You can find them all here, in the lesson plan category “Common Core.” Forty-four states and United States territories have adopted the Common Core Standards and, according to this recent Times article, one major change teachers can expect to see is more emphasis on reading “informational,” or nonfiction, texts across subject areas: While English classes will still include healthy amounts of fiction, the standards say that students should be reading more nonfiction texts as they get older, to prepare them for the kinds of material they will read in college and careers.
In the fourth grade, students should be reading about the same amount from “literary” and “informational” texts, according to the standards; in the eighth grade, 45 percent should be literary and 55 percent informational, and by 12th grade, the split should be 30/70.

Common Core Toolkit. A Guide to Aligning the Common Core State Standards with the Framework for 21st Century Skills For the first time in U.S. education history, a majority of states (44 to date) have agreed to a common baseline for academic knowledge and college readiness skills. The release of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in 2010 has been an important turning point in the standards movement.
Over the past decade, many organizations such as P21 have advocated for standards that adequately address both the core academic knowledge and the complex thinking skills that are required for success in college, life and career in the 21st century. Partnership for 21st Century Skills urges the integration of the CCSS into teaching and learning in ways that honor the fusion of the 3Rs and 4Cs. Guiding Implementation of CCSSHow does the P21 Common Core Toolkit help states, districts and schools implement Common Core State Standards and support ongoing 21st century skills initiatives?
Unit 1: Introduction. 8 Helpful Tech Tools for the C. While the implementation of the Common Core State Standards means a lot of work and transition ahead, the good thing about shared benchmarks across 45 states is that you can now share resources, ideas and lessons with a colleague across the hall—or across the country. With that in mind, we asked our Facebook fans for their favorite online tools that are making the transition a little easier. 1. Pinterest.

Back to School Update. Wow, it’s September! August really flew by — it was crazy, hectic, and sometimes overwhelming as we kicked off the school year and settled into our new building. I can definitely say that I’m looking forward to many years of STAYING PUT and not having to move or re-arrange or anything else of that nature! I’m definitely in love with my new home sweet home! I’ve also had an unexpected week off work with Hurricane Isaac blowing through town. I’m definitely ready for Tuesday to get here so I can get back to the library and into the routine that I’ve so desperately been craving. I’ve been getting loads of questions lately about our library’s nontraditional shelving, and I really need to do a thorough post on the steps I took and all. But today is not the day for that. I’ve also committed to a new challenge for myself for this school year. And now for an exciting announcement… I am SO looking forward to September 10th!
Common Core ELA K-12. Kids book trailers. Common Core for School Librarians. Guess My Lexile - The Book Whisperer. What do Jeff Kinney's popular Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Ray Bradbury's classic Fahrenheit 451 have in common? What about Gossip Girl: A Novel, Cicely von Ziegesar's catty romance and The Great Gilly Hopkins, Katherine Paterson's 1979 Newbery Honor book? While clear distinctions exist between each book's literary merit, age appropriateness, and reader appeal, these titles possess one similarity--they sit within the same Lexile text complexity band.** Well-meaning educators, concerned about increasing text complexity and reading rigor, engage in this game of "Guess My Lexile" when denouncing the low-reading level of young adult literature, elevating certain titles over others, or dictating book purchases and recommended reading lists.
But looking at just a few examples reveals problems when narrowly evaluating texts by readability number alone. The Lexile Framework for Reading by Metametrix provides quantitative assessment of both students' reading levels and texts' complexity. Mr. Dewey, I Bid you Adieu. In the past I have written posts regarding arrangement of my collection and my constant attempt to make the library as user friendly and accessible as possible. This is a goal that I believe all librarians can understand. For months I looked into various ways to organize a library's collection.
After much consideration I decided to take the plunge and arrange non fiction by subject rather than Dewey. I have read several articles both for and against this arrangement. I have talked to my library friends both locally and members of my PLN in other states. Most expressed no interest in doing this in their library, but encouraged me to do what I thought was best for the students I serve. Here are my main motivations: 1. Maybe this is my fault because I don't spend much time teaching Dewey. 2. Some people are surprised to hear that Dewey includes fiction. 3.
After polling my students, even my helpers and frequent library posse, they all were excited about the possibility of the change. 4. Resources - CASL. Dl.dropbox.com/u/109217129/MCM Fall 2012 FINAL.pdf. Common Core: Getting There Globally. By Elizabeth Howald Eighty-seven percent of K-12 students in the U.S. live in states that have adopted the Common Core State Standards. Though this widespread approval is no small feat in a country that has long resisted national learning standards, the Common Core cannot truly be called a success until the standards are effectively implemented.
With Common Core assessments coming online in 2014 - 2015, educators have had to grapple with tough questions on a tight timeline: What does a lesson that is aligned to the Common Core look like in practice? Must the standards’ emphasis on skills come at the expense of important content knowledge? Thankfully, the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) and the Common Core State Standards Initiative—along with numerous other organizations and institutions—have published resources to help educators understand the fundamentals of the Common Core and to unpack its terminology.
