  • On the topic of prereading and scaffolding, the most recent version takes care to "leave room for a wide range of instructional approaches" that engage students in reading, while at the same time "setting some basic parameters based on the standards," such as ensuring that scaffolding "does not pre-empt or replace the need to read the text,"
  • To argue that meaning resides solely in the text is antithetical to several decades of research which shows that meaning is in the interaction of reader and text,"
  • "In too many classrooms, the actual text never enters the discussion," he said. "It's all about kids' feelings about it, or their experiences related to it. The teacher spends 45 minutes wallowing in that space, but never gets into the information in the text."
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • "to do quite a bit of framing to get my kids to the point where they can wrestle with the text."
  • oesn't need to be an either-or,
  • To do that, teachers have many strategies at their disposal, he noted. They can supply information upfront, when appropriate. They can plan a cold reading but assign texts leading up to it that will fill in knowledge gaps. They can ask students to read a group of surrounding pieces in conjunction with a central text.

  • The Standards also expect students to write more expository prose.

  • expected to learn content and skills and move to more advanced topics
  • hey suggest relationships between Standards
  • Students will need to know procedures fluently, develop a deep conceptual understanding, and be able to apply their knowledge to solve problems.

    Laura Cipriano, sent this to the CFF Coach listserv: Here's an opportunity for coaches and librarians to work together and create a powerful partnership for supporting and enriching the curriculum: check out http://ow.ly/5HkvW - School Librarians and the Common Core Standards (PA has adopted them!). Though it is a reference designed to show the relevance of CCS to a school library program, this online collection of VALUABLE resources in a LiveBinder by Carolyn Jo Starkey, a librarian from Alabama, may prove to be a helpful tool for all teachers in understanding and unpacking the standards in any of their respective areas. Enjoy! Laura Cipriano
