In the 15 years since the National Reading Panel convened, researchers have learned a few things about teaching reading. CCSS Supported by Research 1. Close Reading - The standards first set out that children build knowledge through their close reading of texts, a concept "consistent with the last 20-30 years of research 2. Cross-Content Literacy - The second big idea is its grounding in the disciplines.

These are some of the Common Core standards that I think you can address through the use of Google Maps.
Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, well-chosen details and well-structured event sequences.
Check out Google Maps for Educators to find directions on how to create placemarks in Google Maps.
See Tom Barrett's Maths Maps for ideas on using Google Maps in elementary/ primary grades mathematics lessons.

I chose this article because it was a frustrating concept to deal with. Education always seems to contradict itself. "Don't do this, do it this way." "The old way was the wrong way". Continually reinventing the wheel. Read aloud, for example is something that we have been told is a useless waste of time. Simply don't do it. Zero instructional value. Don't have kids memorize things. Its busy work. Practice was described as "drilling". Then an article like this makes me rethink everything.

As districts and states prepare to implement Common Core curricula, instructional leadership is perhaps the most important area to affect student learning. Knowing how to implement, monitor, and assess a new curriculum can be daunting for any leader. How can principals ensure that teachers know and understand the content of the new curriculum? How can they effectively monitor delivery of the new curriculum in a meaningful way? The following tips, from a school principal in a state that has fully implemented the Common Core State Standards, can help.

PARCC's policy will be that students earn the "college readiness" determination by performing at level 4 on a 5-level test. ELA Reaching that level on the language arts part of the exam will mean that students have "demonstrated the academic knowledge, skills, and practices necessary" to skip remedial classes and go directly into entry-level, credit-bearing courses in "college English composition, literature, and technical courses requiring college-level reading and writing." Math Scoring at level 4 in math allows students to enroll directly in entry-level, credit-bearing courses in algebra, introductory statistics, and "technical courses requiring an equivalent level" of math. Scale 5 = "distinguished" command 4 = "strong" 3 = "moderate" 2 = "partial" 1 = "minimal"
