Levels Of Support

The purpose of this chapter is to report on the findings of a writing survey with elementary classroom teachers (n=39) who attended graduate programs at two four-year colleges. In this study, the authors examine teachers' perceptions of their Professional Development (PD) in the implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for writing and describe their PD needs. The chapter concludes with recommendations and suggestions about how literacy coaches can best implement multiple levels of support in writing instruction including school-wide and grade level PDs as well as coaching and in-class support.

Math Concepts

The more connections that students can make between mathematical content and the real world, the better they will become at developing critical thinking and understanding mathematics. This lesson on exploring geometric dilations encourages small cooperative-group critiques and connections to an abundance of middle school math concepts. Graphing proportional relationships and finding the constant of proportionality are big ideas in middle school mathematics. This two-part lesson connects these ideas and many more Common Core State Standards (CCSSI 2010) through fun, student-driven activities.

Teacher Evaluation Systems

In this study, U.S. middle school teachers’ perceptions of Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM), CCSSM-related assessments, teacher evaluation processes, and resources for implementing CCSSM were investigated. Using a mixed methods design, a national sample of 366 teachers was surveyed, and 24 teachers were interviewed. Findings indicated that teachers viewed CCSSM as including new content for their grade level. Teachers also reported using multiple curriculum resources to align with CCSSM and indicated that new assessments would serve as a proxy for CCSSM. Implications for rapidly changing policy, curriculum, assessment, instruction, and professional development related to CCSSM are discussed.
