Martha Hickson on 05 May 13This webinar gave an overview of the reading, research, and rigor components that librarians can "assist" teachers with. If you wrap your head around these critical shifts, and you will likely become as building leaders as you model solutions for meeting the CCSS. Teachers all over are trying to figure this out and this is a piece of cake for us! Carpe Diem! Wrap your head around Inquiry and Student Centered research projects. (Writing standards 6-10) Help "repackage" research units Help find "rigor" - Rich Text - reading passages, correctly aligned to the CCSS Lexile bands. Understand what it means to "read closely" - with purpose, meaningful, directed, points of view, etc. Understand what a Lexile is and its role in the CCSS Help teachers replace lower level texts (Lexile) with alternatives correctly Lexiled, or Non-fiction Inquiry Units using your non-fiction collection!
