Common Core English Language Arts in a PLC at Work, Grades K-2
Change has come to the English language arts in the form of Common Core State Standards. Change can be good if it is implemented by knowledgeable professionals who have a deep understanding of the nature, intent, and instructional methods that underlay the standards. My colleagues in literacy Doug Fisher and Nancy Frey have integrated the standards with the work of professional learning communities in order to create a vehicle for making the language arts standards come to life in schools and classrooms. This is a book that will make a positive difference in the literacy lives of students and teachers. --Timothy V.
