What Areas of Teaching does the Common Core Emphasize?
The common core standards emphasize three areas of teaching: higher standards, incorporating technology, and cross-curricular learning.
Can you think of a project your students work on that could be SUPPLEMENTED in another class?
- This is great for teachers because we ALREADY have high standards. We are ALREADY trying new technology methods. We ALREADY collaborate with other teachers.
- This might include incorporating a nonfiction reading element into a science lab if students are struggling with reading.
- This might include using a graph to demonstrate cause and effect relationships of one characters actions in a book if students are struggling in math.
