Book description
The first books to present specific guidance for teaching the Common
Core State Standards
Forty-three states plus the District of Columbia and the U. S. Virgin
Islands have signed on to adopt the Common Core State Standards
(CCSS). The need for curriculum guides to assist teachers in helping
students meet these standards has become imperative. Created by
teachers, for teachers, the research-based curriculum maps in this
book present a comprehensive, coherent sequence of thematic units for
teaching the skills outlined in the CCSS for English language arts in
Grades K-5. The maps address every standard in the CCSS, yet are
flexible and adaptable to accommodate diverse teaching styles.
- Each grade is broken down into six units that include focus
standards, suggested works, sample activities and assessments,
lesson plans, and more
- Teachers can use the maps to plan their year and craft their own
more detailed lesson plans
Any teacher, school, or district that chooses to follow the Common
Core maps can be confident that they are adhering to the standards.
Common Core is a non-profit organization formed in 2007 to advocate
for a content-rich liberal arts education in America's K-12 schools.
To improve education in America, Common Core creates curriculum tools
and also promotes programs, policies, and initiatives at the local,
state, and federal levels that provide students with challenging,
rigorous instruction in the full range of liberal arts and sciences.
