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

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
