Product Description

Create a schoolwide foundation to ensure academic success for ALL students

This book demonstrates a system-wide approach to support the learning needs of culturally, linguistically, and academically diverse students. The authors deliver a six-point model for developing improved programs, policies, and practices, including:

  • Mapping and aligning an integrated curriculum—making the mainstream curricula accessible for all learners
  • Collaborative planning and assessment—pooling teachers’ intelligence so the whole is greater than the sum of the parts
  • Teaching students explicit learning strategies—empowering students by taking the focus off the teacher and putting it back on learners

Editorial Reviews

Review 

"Dove, Honigsfeld, and Cohan recognize the urgent need for practices to change on a schoolwide basis so that diverse learners can be positioned to succeed with the Common Core. Beyond Core Expectations: a Schoolwide Framework for Serving the Not-So-Common Learner outlines inclusive practices so that all students – English learners, students with disabilities, and other marginalized groups – are included in these important conversations. The book’s practical toolkit provides educators with ample opportunities to evaluate and collaborate around ways in which they can provide a more equitable learning environment for their diverse students. I highly recommend this book to those who wish to ensure that all students’ strengths and needs are considered during the implementation of the Common Core."

(Diane Staehr Fenner, President)

"Common Core for the Not-So-Common Learner provides a masterfully blend of instructional practices with a deep understanding of the CCSS, and presents them in a way that makes sense to educators on the front lines of implementation. In Beyond Core Expectations, Dove, Honigsfeld, and Cohan work to the next level by presenting a coherent framework for schoolwide instructional inclusiveness. This book is an essential guide for educators with a vision for true college and career readiness for ALL students, driven by sound curriculum, instruction and assessment practices."

(Cheryl H. Champ, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction)
