An Overview of the ELA Common Core Standards for High School!
by Kelli Eckdahl - Wednesday, January 4, 2012, 02:14 PM
 

newAccelerateU offers a full range of on-line course work relative to NYS Standards initiatives that are easy to use and available to thousands of customers anytime, any place, at any pace.

· This online course will run from January 30—March 12, 2012

· This course requires a limited number of participants in order to run.

· Registrations will be accepted upon a first come first serve basis.

· Course fee is $98.00 per person.

As you consider if this online course is for you, ask yourself the following questions:

· Would I like more time to investigate the Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS) in depth?

· Would it be helpful to see grade 9-12 writing samples, suggested readings, and performance tasks to gain a better understanding of the NYS expectations?

· Would I be interested in hearing from other high school teachers and learning from their expertise? How are other teachers approaching these standards?

The CCLS were built on the “…shoulders of the NYS standards.” Let’s take this opportunity to see what is similar, what is new, and how the rigor for our students has been raised.

This course is designed to provide secondary teachers with an opportunity to consider the shifts in classroom instruction. Questions, suggestions, concerns, and connections are welcome! Your online course facilitator will be your guide as you consider the impact of the CCLS in your district.


At the end of the course, you will share a new or improved lesson plan, infused with the CCLS or develop an action plan which includes your thoughts and ideas how to address new grade level requirements.


This course is designed as a seven hour workshop, the equivalent of one full day
session.
