5 Things Every Teacher Should be Doing to Meet the Common Core State Standards
5 Things Every Teacher Should be Doing to Meet the Common Core State Standards
by Lauren Davis, Senior Editor, Eye On Education
When reading the Common Core State Standards, it’s easy to get caught up in the details of each standard. (“Okay, I need to teach compound-complex sentences.”) However, it’s also important to take a step back and reflect on the big picture. How will the standards change your teaching approaches? How do the standards alter the definition of what it means to be an effective teacher in the 21st century?
The Common Core State Standards highlight five shifts that should be happening in every classroom.
Teachers should:
• Lead High-Level, Text-Based Discussions
• Focus on Process, Not Just Content
• Create Assignments for Real Audiences and with Real Purpose
• Teach Argument, Not Persuasion
• Increase Text Complexity
We’ll explore each of these items in more detail.
