  • 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.

    "Time to Act" - Carnegie Reports on adolescent literacy (Gr. 4-13). Personally, I think it's one of the best reports that I have seen on adolescent literacy. You can request one copy of "Time to Act" just by emailing the program director. I have reviewed this specific report and feel that it is very powerful--up to date research, concise, and well organized. The other reports in the link you will need to download as they will not send you hard copies. Excellent resource for teacher leaders and administrators; Time to Act: An Agenda for Advancing Adolescent Literacy for College and Career Success pinpoints adolescent literacy as a cornerstone of the current education reform movement, upon which efforts such as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act must be built.

  • much greater emphasis on nonfiction.
  • The Standards also expect students to write more expository prose.
  • use evidence to demonstrate their comprehension of texts and to read closely in order to make evidence-based claims
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • read carefully with their students and in many cases reread texts several times
  • cite evidence to justify statements
  • increasingly complex texts
  • teachers will have to choose materials that are appropriate for their grade level; states and organizations are now developing tools to help teachers evaluate complexity.
  • Expect to see teachers asking students to engage in small-group and whole-class discussions and evaluating them on how well they understand the speakers’ points.
  • the Common Core Standards are intended to focus on fewer topics and address them in greater depth
  • The Standards include criteria for literacy in history/social science, science, and technical subjects. This reflects a recognition that understanding texts in each of these subject areas requires a unique set of skills and that instruction in understanding
  • teachers should concentrate on the most important topics,
  • in depth
  • s an integral part of teaching history
  • say, a historical document
  • glean information from a document and make judgments about its credibility
  • The Common Core Standards, by contrast, are designed to build on students’ understanding by introducing new topics from grade to grade.
  • 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.

    Over the years we have seen little time or funding devoted to professional development (PD) that might equip teachers with the skills required to make smart and productive use of new technologies. What little PD we have seen was devoted mainly to the learning of software and how to operate the latest toys. We have too often placed carts before horses.
