The Common Core Standards: Starting Now

This Educational Leadership magazine article provides guidance on what schools and districts can do to move forward in implementing the Common Core State Standards, given limited resources and time. The authors specifically focus on strategies and resources related to English language arts and literacy standards.
 

Content Comments

This article would be very useful for people engaged in implementing the Common Core in ELA both in terms of highlighting the key components/shifts in the ELA CCSS and connecting readers to a variety of free resources available online. One concern is related to the section on reading aloud, which did not made clear enough that older students, in particular, need to read challenging texts themselves in science and social studies and not have just these read-alouds in order for them to access the content.
