"The trick is to scaffold the readings and re-readings sufficiently to allow these students to participate successfully—they have to do the reading and thinking, you can’t do it for them." Via Mel Riddile

Shanahan makes point that Close Reading is not a technique, rather it is an outcome. I believe that the Four Resources Model (Luke & Freebody) http://www.learningplace.com.au/deliver/content.asp?pid=17768 is a useful lens to develop Close Reading of texts.

Implementing Common Core is an adaptive change.
Light-switch changes are carefully orchestrated and designed, and occur with the flip of a switch.
Long-term, adaptive change requires learning and adaptation, typically over a long period of time, because the problem, solution, and means to implementation are unclear and frequently evolve and mutate with progress toward the goal.

Knowing the research behind text complexity is critical to understanding the call for more complexity. The CCSS crafters examined college freshman textbooks and career manuals.These texts typically measure at a Lexile score of 1450.This Lexile measure was used as a benchmark for college and career readiness (CCR).Grade level Lexiles were then scaffolded in reverse, defining grade level Lexile expectations as stated in the Common Core Appendix A.Via Mel Riddile

Twenty-five states have taken a big step toward designing a shared assessment: They've drafted an initial definition of what college readiness means, and descriptions of the skills and knowledge students must demonstrate at each step of the way toward that goal.
Released today, the college-readiness definition and the descriptors of achievement on each level of the test are part of the work of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, one of two federally funded groups of states that are designing assessment systems for the Common Core State Standards.

Recommendations: 1. Make sure educators deeply understand the standards and the key instructional shifts they require. 2. Vet instructional resources for quality and alignment with the standards. 3. Transform principals into instructional leaders. 4. Listen to educators about their professional learning needs. 5. Maximize opportunities for collaboration and capacity building through professional learning. 6. Engage higher-education partners. 7. Understand and plan for the coming common assessments. 8. Adopt technology to meet teaching and learning needs but that will also work with the new assessments. 9. Align initiatives into comprehensive reforms. Via Mel Riddile Delete the scoop?
