As schools nationwide begin the transition to the Common Core, Lauren Davis, editor of the new book series, Common Core Literacy Lesson Plans: Ready-to-Use Resources, joins us to outline five very specific strategies that all teachers should be using to implement the new standards in their classrooms. The five strategies that all instructional leaders should be aware of, and which every teacher should be incorporating into the classroom, are: Lead High-Level, Text-Based Discussions; Focus on Process, Not Just Content; Create Assignments for Real Audiences and with Real Purpose; Teach Argument, Not Persuasion; and Increase Text Complexity.
