Designed for teachers, school leaders, and professional learning communities looking to navigate the gap between their current literacy practices and the ideals of the Common Core, Pathways to the Common Core will help you: understand what the standards say, suggest, and what they dont say; recognize the guiding principles that underpin the reading and writing standards; identify how the Common Cores infrastructure supports a spiraling K12 literacy curriculum; ands crutinize the context in which the CCSS were written and are being unrolled. This guide will also help you and your colleagues implement the standards in ways that lift the level of teaching and learning throughout your school.
