States across the country are adopting the Common Core State Standards, which identify what students are expected to know in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics. In Common Core Standards & English Language Arts: Strategies for Student Success (Grades 6-12), author Toby Karten provides an overview to help middle and high school teachers understand application for diverse students, including those with special needs.
Toby Karten presents an overview of CCSS for ELA, which covers topics such as college and career readiness, challenges of the cross-disciplinary design of CCSS for ELA at the secondary level, differentiating instruction for students at different reading levels, and strategies for helping students with disabilities achieve ELA standards.
CCSS for ELA has raised the bar to ensure students master the writing, reading, speaking and listening skills they need to be ready for college and careers. NPR, Inc. has lots of great resources to help prepare educators with the Common Core State Standards for ELA.
