This resource with LP for read alouds can help support K-2 teachers in supporting the shift in text complexity.

I would like to share this with teachers to give them a jumping off point for their own interactive read alouds/shared reading experiences.

The Expeditionary Learning learning protocol resources is something I definitely will share with grade level teams. Many of the protocols are ones that we have seen/used in our work with academic conversations and making thinking visible thinking routines. But it is really nice to have a more extensive list that will allow teachers to have options for addressing different learning styles within their room.

I have seen this resource before and used it some. In light of different emphases within out school, I think it would be helpful to share with teachers to remind them of different strategies for vocabulary development and checking for understanding. I would also like to explore more of the learning and discussion
protocols with them.

The grade specific performance tasks look fantastic. They are set up in the format of MCAS, so would give students exposure to that format. There is a 3rd grade one that uses Winn Dixie which is the mentor text for the Character unit, so that would be a fantastic post assessment for that unit. I plan to share these with grade level teams next year before they begin each unit.

achievethecore.org's digital tools and resources for teachers have been made possible by contributions from teachers across the country as well as through generous support from the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust and the GE Foundation.

This connects to the following:
A. Building knowledge through content rich non-fiction
B. Text dependent questions
C. Helping all students with complex and comprehension
D. Anchor standard- key idea/detail

Showing videos to teachers and watching ourselves will help us see shifts in common core in action. It will help us realize some of this work is happening but that we have room to grow.

Also, another reason I identified this is at Potter we have done some work with close reading in grades 4 and 5 but I am interested in bringing this into the lower grades.

I was interested in how this lesson plannign tool coudl be used with the Calkins curriculum. I tried to put myself in the role of a teacher and plan the next lesson using this tool. I put in the standard and the mentor text. However it was a real challenge to integrate the lesson and this tool. The lesson was about "suspending juddement' in fantasy. The tool seemed to be more set up for a final perfromance task or close reading activity. I might go play with it some more to see how it could work.

I'm specifically interested in the performance tasks and how we can bridge the examples of the performance tasks with our work around UDL. I think if we had performance tasks developed, beyond the Lucy post assessments, before teachers began planning units and lessons there would be more opportunity for backwards design. Teachers would be able to incorporate these types of questions into their lessons specifically modeling them and during active engagement.

I love this Appendix because it provides examples of tasks that meet the standards.

I think that providing examples will give the teachers a better understanding of the depth of the standard and give them a jumping off point for creating their own tasks. Then they can use their knowledge of UDL to design options for students to show their thinking and understanding of the standard.

I have never seen this before.  It would be great to share with teachers to help "regain" the understanding of what we are doing for our students.

I like this site because it features examples of the 3 indicators (expectations, instruction, assessments) that teachers AND students will be doing at specific grade levels.

I am beginning some work with peer observations and specifically having grade level teams bump up or down a grade to observe where the students are going (standards/rigor wise) or are coming from.  Sooo maybe this could be a good opportunity to also incorporate the shifts and tap into what teachers know and need to work on.
