Literacy Learning for College and Career Readiness: What’s the Big Deal? An In Depth Look at the ELA Common Core Standards
This K-9 Institute will allow participants to understand more completely what the expectations are for teaching with the newly adopted English-Language Arts Common Core State Standards (ELA CCSS). Participants will learn information that overarches all of our teaching. Each participant will choose one content area strand to understand more deeply. Participants will also have the opportunity to “Peek through the Window” of two more areas of literacy instruction highlighted in the CCSS. It is also important that teachers understand better how to support this new teaching within and across digital learning systems platforms. All participants will use EDU20 for large group and strand discussions, assignments, readings, etc.
