Fluency is already an issue... how to balance it with text complexity is going to be a huge issue as we are shifting to the Common Core. How do we do this? Is there anywhere we can get this guidance?

Will the new state standards push more districts to start using open educational resources?
Mary Reilley Clark's insight:
Quote from Jeff Mao at the Maine DOE, who worked on developing OER for the state: "What we need are better platforms that allow for ease of iteration of content in order to provide personalization and customization for individual learners. We need better platforms that leverage data to help connect learners to the right content. What the publishing industry needs to do is to help all of us become better publishers. That's a service I think people would buy."

In 2012, people got excited about "open educational resources" (OER) because they seemed like a cheap way for schools to get good teaching materials. But there was a problem: these resources were digital, so not all students had the right technology to use them. Even though some places, like Maine, tried giving every student a laptop, it was still hard to keep using OER in the long run. They needed to figure out how to pay for things like training teachers and making sure the materials were good. So, while OER sounded great, making them work in real schools was a lot harder than people thought.

Darren Burris's comment,

Agreed, with one caveat. The step or checklist mentality is a difficult thing to shake; however, aspects of close reading are captured here. I see this as being able to be adapted to a gallery of models of close reading where students can see one person's process of reading closely. In addition the growing work on mark-up is more of correlation not causation. It is true that marking up alone does not cause comprehension, but it does not mean that students who engage in mark up + other practices do not benefit from marking up. Nevertheless, I do agree that this is not "good" common core stuff, but something that can point toward good stuff.

I add things to my Scoop.it specifically for the staff in my district. While this technique isn't for everyone, I know that our Special Academic Instruction teachers often break a process down like this to assist their students. Hence my comment, "Nice visuals for students who could benefit from them."
