"The Gettysburg Address, composed by that hipster Abraham Lincoln, has never been more relevant, especially to the framers of the Common Core Curriculum Standards who appropriated Lincoln's address because of its literary rhetorical characteristics."

Scaffolding approaches come in many shapes and sizes: Jot-Charting, SQ3Rand Thinking Notes are common strategies for supporting comprehension and analysis. Simply having students mark up texts with questions and inferences before engaging in conversation is a good idea. ThingLink is a slick technology tool for annotation, particular when the "text" is a complex visual photograph. Delete the scoop?

Educators who teach English language arts and math aren't the only ones preparing for the Common Core. New standards affect social studies, science and other non-tested subjects as well.
Connie Wise's insight:
"Zook likes the fact that the Common Core emphasizes problem-solving skills and project-based learning, especially in the lower grades. Too often, she says, science is put on the back burner in elementary school, and that can leave students struggling when they reach her classes." Delete the scoop?

Some experts are concerned that both in-school assignments and the books kids read for pleasure may not be challenging them enough.

Founded in 1943, ASCD (formerly the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development) is an educational leadership organization dedicated to advancing best practices and policies for the success of each learner.
Connie Wise's insight:
"One reason reading nonfiction may be so important is that it helps students develop their background knowledge, which itself accounts for as much as 33 percent of the variance in student achievement (Marzano, 2000). Background knowledge becomes more crucial in the later elementary grades, as students begin to read more content-specific textbooks (Young, Moss, & Cornwell, 2007) that often include headings, graphs, charts, and other text elements not often found in the narrative fiction they encountered in the lower grades (Sanacore & Palumbo, 2009)." "Teachers may find that this shift pays off in terms of student enthusiasm. Researchers have noted one other benefit of nonfiction reading: the potential to motivate young children to read by tapping into their interests (Caswell & Duke, 1998). This may, in fact, be the most important insight to be gleaned from research. Although students may continue to find fiction appealing, nonfiction doesn't have to be boring. On the contrary, allowing students to explore and pursue their interests within a broad array of informational texts can help them to see that the real world can often be just as surprising and intriguing as make-believe."

The topic of technology can be confusing. Maybe the most confounding part is reaching a definition of "technology" that works to foster healthy discussion of the best ways that schools can use techno
Connie Wise's insight:
"The ability to "evaluate technology" is critical for teachers to consider. Technology does not have to appear in every lesson or unit. The key driver needs to be the learning goal, and technology can play a role in achieving that goal. The expectation is not that technology is used every day in a school with iPads, tablets or laptops. Instead, the process for developing curriculum needs to include the evaluation of technology as a tool to enhance the learning experience for the students. Blogger Chris Lehmann states, "Technology should be like oxygen: ubiquitous, necessary and invisible." Delete the scoop?

Connie Wise's insight:
“We have a new problem forthcoming and that is our devices that once were just an entertainment tool are also becoming our educational and work tools,” wrote commenter Des. “And with this all combined into one, it’s hard to put one away without the other being easy to access. With these things being integrated, we also start to lose sight of what is actually work and what is entertainment.” Delete the scoop?

Connie Wise's insight:
"Big ideas about the past, we learn, are subject to change. As you and your students read nonfiction, look for additional ways that authors shape their big ideas. Consider making a collection of mentor texts which students can refer to as they write."
