Mary Reilley Clark's insight:

Text pairing--two separate texts is the common expectation, but PARCC includes analyzing supplemental elements as a text pairing.  Hmm...Dea has it right: you need to do some close reading yourself to understand the standards!

Study: Prettier Charts Can Be Harder for Students to Read | Common Core State Standards SMUSD | Scoop.it
From blogs.edweek.org - May 13, 2013 12:13 PM
Common Core State Standards are calling for more focus on students reading charts and graphics, but new research shows engaging graphics can reduce students' understanding of chart data.
Mary Reilley Clark's insight:

If this holds true, is it because we're not teaching students how to read infographics, or because the design really is distracting?  I'll be interested in further research on this.

We recently hosted a session at the IRA Annual Conference in San Antonio called "Using ReadWriteThink.org to Address CCSS and Engage Adolescent Learners."

The first part of the session was presented by Scott Filkins and focused on how to engage adolescent readers while keeping in mind the learning expectations set forth in the Common Core State Standards.

The second part was presented by Laurie Henry examining the SEARCH strategy to help students build and present an argument.

Brain-Targeted Teaching is new to me, but it makes sense.  I know my learning is affected by my environment, which makes me wonder how any learning gets done in overcrowded classrooms with no natural light.  Good article to discuss with teachers.

Dr. Dea Conrad-Curry's curator insight, May 25, 2013 10:46 AM

I truly believe that educators must understand brain functioning in order to be the best teacher, administrator, coach, et al. Last week I sat in on a session about brain based learning and the common core; had I put into practice all that the presenter urged, we would have never gotten to the academics. Moderation is key.
