Cover of Common Core CPR

Common Core CPR

by ReLeah Cossett Lent and Barry Gilmore

Published 19 September 2013
The ideal? Newly minted high school graduates all across the nation, each one a complex text genius, a writer and analytic thinker beyond compare. All on to glorious colleges and careers, thanks to the Common Core.

The reality? The 1.3 million students who fail to graduate from high school each year and the hundreds of thousands more who either gave up or lost interest long ago . . .



The reality is why Common Core CPR is needed. Urgently. Because if we continue to insist that all students meet expectations that are well beyond their abilities and mindsets, these kids will only decline faster. We must be brave enough-and trained enough-to cast aside what we know harms students and apply with renewed vigour the teaching methods we know work.



Releah Lent and Barry Gilmore rise to the challenge, and there are no two authors better equipped to do so. They embrace what is best about the standards-their emphasis on active, authentic learning-and then explicitly show teachers how to connect these ideal outcomes to practical classroom strategies, detailing the day-to-day teaching that can coax reluctant learners into engagement and achievement. You'll learn how to:

* Consider choice and relevance in every assignment

* Plan and spot opportunities for success

* Scaffold students' comprehension of complex fiction and nonfiction texts

* Model close reading through thoughtful questioning

* Teach students to use evidence in reading, writing, speaking, and reflection

Cover of Teaching Evidence-Based Writing: Nonfiction
With this text, excerpts from current nonfiction, lessons and activities will guide students to doing their best analytical writing about nonfiction texts. This is done through citing evidence about relationships, main idea, point of view, visuals, and words and structure.

Cover of This Is Disciplinary Literacy
This Is Disciplinary Literacy helps content-area teachers put into action the key literacies of their specialties. Teaching science? Students must evaluate evidence and question as they read. History? Comparing and contrasting sources and interpreting the import of events are key. Writing in Math? Accuracy is favored over elaboration and craft. Reading fiction in ELA? Synthesizing and attuning to voice and figurative language reign supreme. Students fully own knowledge because your instruction zeroes in on the academic habits that matter most.

Cover of The On-Your-Feet Guide to Disciplinary Literacy in Social Studies

Each of the social science disciplines requires literacy skills that can look completely different from those in other content areas. A disciplinary literacy approach, then, expands content learning by helping students read, write, think, and communicate as experts in history, sociology, or global studies, offering a more relevant way to understand complex concepts and challenging texts.

This On-Your-Feet Guide will help teachers

* Plan instruction that engages students' natural inquiry and curiosity;

* Apprentice students toward deeper understanding of social science concepts, terms, understandings, and text;

* Help students use their learning to create, communicate, and participate as social scientists;

* Teach skills required by social studies standards and frameworks; and

* Work with colleagues to design instructional units that incorporate both content and literacy skills.

Students can then use these tools to compare, create, connect, and construct as they do the work of experts instead of only reading about how it's done.

On-Your-Feet Guides (OYFGs) provide you with the ultimate "cheat sheet" to implement effective change in your classroom while in the moment of teaching. Designed for accessibility, and providing step-by-step guidance, the OYFGs are written by experts who take research-based practices and make them doable for the busy teacher.

Each On-Your-Feet Guide is laminated, 8.5"x11" tri-fold (6 pages), and 3-hole punched.

Use the On-Your-Feet Guides
* When you know the "what" but need help with the "how"
* As a quick reference to support a practice you learned in a PD workshop or book
* To learn how to implement foundational practices
* When you want to help your students learn a specific strategy, routine, or approach, but aren't sure how to do it yourself
