The must-have Common Core guide for every ESL/ELL instructor
Navigating the Common Core with English Language Learners is the
much-needed practical guide for ESL/ELL instructors. Written by
experienced teachers of English Language Learners, this book provides a
sequel to the highly-regarded ESL/ELL Teacher's Survival Guide and is
designed to help teachers implement the Common Core in the ELL
classroom. You'll find a digest of the latest research and developments
in ELL education, along with comprehensive guidance in reading and
writing, social studies, math, science, Social Emotional Learning and
more. The Common Core is discussed in the context of ESL, including the
opportunities and challenges specific to ELL students. Ready-to-use
lesson plans and reproducible handouts help you bring these ideas into
the classroom, and expert guidance helps you instill the higher-order
thinking skills the Common Core requires.
The Common Core standards have been adopted in 43 states, yet minimal
guidance has been provided for teachers of English Language Learners.
This book fills the literature gap with the most up-to-date theory and a
host of practical implementation tools.
- Get up to date on the latest stats and trends in ELL education
- Examine the challenges and opportunities posed by Common Core
- Find solutions to common issues that arise in teaching ELL students
- Streamline Common Core implementation in the ELL classroom
The ELL population is growing at a rapid pace, and the ELL classroom is
not exempt from the requirements posed by the Common Core State
Standards. ESL/ELL teachers know better than anyone else how critical
language is to learning, and ELL students need a specialized Common Core
approach to avoid falling behind. Navigating the Common Core with
English Language Learners provides specific guidance and helpful tools
that teachers can bring to the classroom today.
