Overview of the Common Core The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are an effort by states to define a common core of knowledge and skills that students should develop in K–12 education so they will graduate from high school prepared for college or careers. The standards were first released in 2010; by the end of 2012 these shared standards have been adopted by 45 states plus the District of Columbia.

Visit the official website: Common Core State Standards Initiative The CCSS initiative has been led by the states, with coordination by the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). What’s happening in your state? A Non-Freaked Out Approach to Character Strengths and Common Core. The Common Core does a pretty good job of laying out some key cognitive skills students need to be ready for career or college. Yes, for you CCSS doubters out there, I said it–I think the standards are good. Granted, I like boiling their goodness down and distilling it into a more potent greatness (if you’re new, refer to the focused, non-freaked out approach we talk about here in the Teaching the Core community). But here’s the bold claim I’ll spend this post backing up: if you aim at the Common Core goals only by doing increased text complexity, close reading, arguing, mandatory talking, and writing like crazy, you or a large amount of your students will begin to hate your/their life.

Being an Effective Tutor. Step One: Know what is Expected of You as a Tutor Tutoring is the process of getting students to become independent through questioning. Tutoring should help students develop self-confidence and improve study skills.

In addition, the tutoring session should provide students with an opportunity to speak up and ask questions, an opportunity sometimes unavailable or missed in a regular classroom situation. Tutoring is a well-balanced question/information exchange in which both parties participate and, therefore, both benefit. Tutoring provides the practice and drill in specific course material needed by the student, while giving the tutor valuable review opportunities and the chance to develop and sharpen educational and communication skills. Tutoring is not teaching. Step Two: Setting Up the Tutoring Session It is important to shape the tutoring environment. Prepare yourself for the tutoring session Prepare a greeting and review expectations Be prepared for potential problems. Children's Sun Signs. Your Child's Sun Sign Your Aries Child Aries is a Fire sign on the action cross.

Its symbol is The Ram (she bucks!) Your little firecracker is apt to go for it! Do it now and ask questions later may be her natural way! The Aries child enjoys making choices and needs plenty of opportunity to make decisions. At school, she tends to be competitive (especially if Mercury is in Aries, less so if Mercury is in Taurus or Pisces). Aries is the sign of ego, the whole gamut of "ego games" coming under this sign; from temper tantrums to feigned passivity. Your Taurus Child Taurus is an Earth sign on the feeling cross. Taurean children are sensorial; they love to touch, smell, listen. Taurean children are generally willing to listen to others, take cues, and then reflect and build upon that information. Your child may identify with her things, holding on to old slippers and habits way beyond their usefulness.

Taurus is ruled by Venus, planet of beauty and the arts. Your Gemini Child Your Cancer Child.
