The Common Core State Standards represents a call for all teachers to focus on the literacy learning of their students. Together, these skills: reading, writing, speaking, listening, and viewing, compose the literacies that students must develop if they are to master content and be succesful in college or the workplace. This book will assist teachers in understanding the Common Core State Standards that apply to their various courses. Standards in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects are explained in detail, including examples of lessons designed to ensure that students master each standard.
