ELLs: Thinking Skills and Common Core State Standards

ELLs: Thinking Skills and CCSS for ELAWe thought we’d end the 12 Days of NPR Inc., with our most recently released laminated reference guide. In ELLs: Thinking Skills and CCSS Focus on the Six Shifts, by author Estee Lopez, you’ll find evidence-based instructional approaches as well as best practices for helping English Language Learners meet the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.

The Common Core State Standards for ELA requires students to engage higher level thinking skills and language, as well as have an understanding of complex works of literature. Dr. Lopez structured the guide around the 6 shifts embodied in the CCSS for ELA. You’ll find explanations, implications for ELLs, best practices, and examples of scaffolding for ELLs.

This is a great reference guide for teachers and administrators to ensure all students, including ELLs succeed in the new Common Core State Standards for ELA.

We hope you’ve enjoyed exploring the variety of resources available to educators at NPR, Inc. We  encourage you to take a look at all the classroom and professional development resources available at www.nprinc.com.
