Book excerpt: A straightforward explanation for parents of what standards-based education is all about The words "common core" have raised hopes, questions, blood pressure, enthusiasm, controversy, expectations, political discussions, fears, and even hairs on the backs of some necks. Parents, along with the general public, are bombarded by a variety of voices and opinions about the subject. This book cuts through the myths and panic to offer a complete review of what the Common Core State Standards require of their children and their children's schools and how new college- and career-ready standards education affects their children's education--no matter what state is their home. With a focus on the standards and what they actually say, the authors answer, in clear and practical terms, the many that have perplexed parents, such as Where did the standards come from? Who is behind these? Is this a federal take-over of education? Why do we need new standards? What is different about the Common Core standards? What will be asked of students at my child's grade level? How do the new standards benefit my child? How will my child be tested? Will my child do poorly on the new tests? How will test results be used? How can I talk to my child, the teachers, and school officials about the standards? and How can I help my child meet the standards? The book is designed as a guide to help parents move from confusion to confidence as they head to the same destination as thousands of other parents, educators, and students from across the nation.

Book excerpt: Implement the Common Core for ELA without all the stress A Non-Freaked Out Guide to Teaching the Common Core uses the often-neglected anchor standards to get to the heart of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)—teaching students the skills they need to be college and career ready. Each anchor standard is broken down into its key points, and a discussion of each anchor standard's central purpose helps outline the context for each required skill. This easy-to-read guide gives educators the kind of clear explanations, examples, and strategies they need to feel comfortable teaching the CCSS, and shows how CCSS skills can be integrated into virtually any existing lesson plan. Getting a firm grasp of the anchor standards is the quickest way to start teaching the key concepts of the CCSS, and this user-friendly guide is designed to pave the way for both the first-time teacher and the experienced pro.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you wish you could leverage the Common Core State Standards (ccss) to equip all students--not just high achievers--with the higher-level thinking skills they need? You can, and this book will show you how. The authors helped lead their district--Rockville Centre in Long Island, New York--in closing achievement gaps and increasing the number of students who completed four-year college programs. The results of their efforts show a remarkable increase in both excellence and equity in English language arts, math, and science. This book outlines the authors' research-based aces framework for instructional improvement to help achieve similar results: (1) Acceleration rather than remediation; (2) Critical thinking; (3) Equity in education for all students; and (4) Support. Educators will find practical strategies that are applied and developed in model lessons linked to the ccss and ksus (Knowledge and Skills for University Success) standards. Understanding why we need to prepare all children to be college and career ready is easy. Making it happen is not. Learn from those who have succeeded, and your students will reap the rewards.

She makes clear what is right about U.S. education, how policy makers are failing to address the root causes of educational failure, and how we can fix it.
