The Common Core Companion: The Standards Decoded, Grades 9-12: What They Say, What They Mean, How to Teach Them (Corwin Literacy);

That version of the 9-12 standards you wish you had

If you’re a high school teacher, no need to despair. Jim Burke has created a Common Core Companion for you, too. This time positioning the grades 9-10 standards alongside 11-12, it’s every bit the roadmap to what each standard says, what each standard means, and how to put that standard into practice across subjects. Jim clearly lays out:

• Key distinctions across grade levels
• Different content-area versions of each standard
• Explanations of each standard, with student prompts
• Content to cover, lesson ideas, and instructional techniques
• Glossary and adaptations for ELL students
