Achieve the Core

May 6th, 2013

Student Achievement Partners had new tools for teaching the Common Core State Standards at achievethecore.org. A quick look at what’s new: 

• Instructional practice guides that provide concrete examples of what the Standards look like in daily planning and practice; these tools can be used for self-reflection, peer-to-peer feedback, or coaching
• Ten new Close Reading Sample Lessons, including many non-fiction texts
• Two new and ready-to-use Professional Development Modules: Using the ELA/Literacy Publishers’ Criteria to Better Understand the Standards and Introducing the Common Core to Parents and Community Members
• Essential actions and tools for CCSS implementation at the school or district level; for school leaders, from department heads and coaches to principals and district administrators

Even better, everything at Achieve the Core is free and open source. We think the tools for the ELA/Literacy standards would work great with texts from WSPWH! Check it out.
