SupportingStudents in aTimeof CoreStandards:EnglishLanguageArts,Grades 3–5

Authors: JeffWilliamswith ElizabethC.HomanandSarah Swofford

This practical, supportive book beginswith anoverview of the Common Core State Standards(CCSS),addressing some frequently askedquestions and concerns about them.Then, theheart of the book features vignettes of six grade3–5 classroom teachers fromadiverse range ofschools,sharing their innovative lesson ideas andshowing how they address the CCSS in concertwith the deliberate, student-centered teaching andlearning choices they alreadymake.

Focusing on such oft-taught topics as identifyingthemes,making and supporting inferences,determiningmain ideas,and summarizing, theseteachers consider how to:• Accommodate students’different learning

styles• Offer ideas for instruction that crossesmultiple

disciplinary areas

Featured texts include Because ofWinn-Dixie,D’Aulaire’s Book ofGreekMyths pairedwith TheLightningThief, and a classroomblog in whichstudents share their thinkingwith their classmates.

Throughout,Williams and his colleagues stress theimportance of:• Formative assessment based on student needs

to guide daily instruction• Time-tested principles of good teaching

expressed in NCTE guidelines and positionstatements

The third section offers further ideas forintegrating the CCSS into your individualteaching,collaboratingwith colleagues,and becoming—or extending your work as—a teacher advocate.115pp. 2011.Grades 3–5.ISBN978-0-8141-4941-6 No.49416$24.95member/$33.95 nonmember

Sarah BrownWessling shares her school’s planning andlearning process in the Connected Community for otherteachers to read about and provide feedback based ontheir experiences:

“…mydepartment is saturatedwith CoreStandardswork.Here are a fewof the thingsweare learning:

• Dealing day to day with this is a shift inthinking. It’s slowwork,and it’s tough, eventhough our school was already fairly close tothe ‘spirit of the Standards.’

• There are somany Standards…we groupedthem conceptually into 9 big areas in orderto teach them effectively.

• We are working to build enough flexibility sothat our courses do not leave out creativewriting,poetry, visual literacy,andmore.”
