Vignettes of diverse schools and districts highlight a range of successful approaches to making the CCSS work.
Download or read book Common Core State Standards for Literacy in History Social Studies Science and Technical Subjects for English Language Learners written by Luciana C. deOliveira and published by Tesol Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume in the Common Core State Standards for English Language Learners series was designed to deepen teachers' knowledge and provide instructional approaches and practices for supporting 6th-grade through 12th-grade ELLs as they meet the ambitious expectations of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects. Language development is a key theme of CCSS-based instruction for ELLs because they need to engage meaningfully with texts to develop their academic language and literacy skills. Developing academic language within classroom contexts is another key theme for ELLs to be successful in schools. These two themes are interconnected throughout the volume; in order for ELLs to learn academic language, they must learn it in the context of intellectually engaging tasks that enable them to read complex texts in history, science, and beyond. Along with the other books in this series, this book asks educators to consider the content and language demands of the CCSS for ELLs, and provides specific pedagogical practices, strategies, and ideas for teaches to reflect on the kind of instruction that is possible for making the demands of language use explicit. The chapters include Reflection Questions and Action Plans that are useful for practicing teachers, preservice teachers, graduate students, academic, researchers, and professional development providers."--Back cover

Download or read book Planning Science Instruction for Emergent Bilinguals written by Edward G. Lyon and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2023-02-24 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical resource takes educators through a planning process--from selecting standards to designing learning activities--that weaves together language, literacy, and science in ways that are responsive to emergent bilinguals. Drawing on extensive and current research, the authors show how secondary educators can use students' own language and lived experiences, coupled with authentic science practices, to provide rich and relevant language support. Using a science unit as a shared text, readers will learn how to gather rich knowledge about emergent bilinguals, unpack the ideas and language demands of Next Generation Science Standards, strategically embed language and literacy standards in the curriculum, and sequence learning activities around an anchoring phenomenon, a text, and an assessment. In the process, readers will come away with a repertoire of planning tools and examples of how to support emergent bilinguals in using language to collaborate with others and to interpret and produce texts that are central to learning and doing science. Planning Science Instruction for Emergent Bilinguals blends theory and practice so readers understand both how and why this planning process can be used to disrupt social inequity for emergent bilinguals. Book Features: Describes intentional decisions that educators can make when planning a science unit or learning experience. Shows how to weave together Next Generation Science Standards, Common Core English Language Arts Standards, and language development. Provides a model unit about kelp forest ecosystems to illustrate how theory is translated into practice. Demonstrates how to use emergent bilinguals' assets (linguistic skills, family experiences, personal interests) to create engaging science instruction. Provides a set of planning tools, including both blank templates and completed examples, to guide educators through the planning process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being literate in an academic discipline is more than being able to read and comprehend text; you can think, speak, and write as a historian, scientist, mathematician, or artist. Author Doug Buehl strips away the one-size-fits-all approach to content area literacy and presents an instructional model for disciplinary literacy, which honors the discipline and helps students learn within that area. In this revised second edition, Developing Readers in the Academic Disciplines shows how to help students adjust their thinking to comprehend a range of complex texts that fall outside their reading comfort zones. Inside you'll find: Instructional tools that adapt generic literacy practices to discipline-specific variations Strategies for frontloading instruction to activate and build background knowledge New approaches for encouraging inquiry around disciplinary texts In-depth exploration of the role of argumentation in informational text Numerous examples from science, mathematics, history and social studies, English/language arts, and related arts to show you what vibrant learning looks like in various classroom settings Designed to be a natural companion to Buehl's Classroom Strategies for Interactive Learning, Developing Readers in the Academic Disciplines introduces teachers from all disciplines to new kinds of thinking and, ultimately, teaching that helps students achieve new levels of understanding.
