SmartFlip Common Core Reference Guide ELA, Grade 8 - Question Stems for Teaching Using the Common Core

الوصف

Since the adoption of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), teachers have been scrambling to find quality teaching materials and legitimate resources that are straightforward and effective in providing help and guidance. Curriculum maps and mediocre district-created handouts offer minimal support for teachers who are struggling to decode and understand multi-layered standards in order to teach the precise skills their students need to master. Laminated checklists that regurgitate standards, found in a simple Internet search, are no more helpful to teachers than ambiguous I can... posters are at reflecting what students actually know and can accomplish. Students urgently need greater exposure to instruction aligned with Common Core requirements, as well as practice in deciphering, interpreting, discussing, and responding to suitable and relevant lessons, activities, and practice assessments attuned to the rigor and demands they will encounter in standardized Common Core assessments. Teachers continue to face mounting pressures to provide these opportunities for their students, yet they are given minimal support and few resources to address these concerns - until now!
