Teaching to Exceed the English Language Arts Common Core State Standards: A Critical Inquiry Approach for 6-12 Classrooms

3/5 ( ratings)

Timely, thoughtful, and comprehensive, this text directly supports pre-service and in-service teachers in developing curriculum and instruction that both addresses and exceeds the requirements of the Common Core State Standards. Adopting a critical inquiry approach, it demonstrates how the Standards’ highest and best intentions for student success can be implemented from a critical, culturally relevant perspective firmly grounded in current literacy learning theory and research. It provides specific examples of teachers using the critical inquiry curriculum framework of identifying problems and issues, adopting alternative perspectives, and entertaining change in their classrooms to illustrate how the Standards can not only be addressed but also surpassed through engaging instruction.

The Second Edition provides new material on

adopting a critical inquiry approach to enhance student engagement and critical thinking

planning instruction to effectively implement the CCSS in the classroom

fostering critical response to literary and informational texts

using YA literature and literature by authors of color

integrating drama activities into literature and speaking/listening instruction

teaching informational, explanatory, argumentative, and narrative writing
