Produktbeschreibung
This book reinforces a focus on student learning by demonstrating ways of addressing the Common Core State Standards in grades 9-12 while also adhering to NCTE principles of effective teaching. Sarah Brown Wessling-the 2010 National Teacher of the Year-and fellow high school teachers demonstrate how to address the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in grades 9-12 while staying true to what they-and you-know about effective, student-centered teaching. The book begins with an overview of key features of the CCSS, addressing some of the most common questions they raise. Section II moves into individual classrooms, offering snapshots of instruction, showing teachers collaborating and making careful decisions about what will work best for their students, and focusing on formative assessment. Drawing on such diverse texts as Macbeth, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, speeches by Barack Obama, graphic novels, and Star Wars, this section also includes charts showing how the CCSS align with established NCTE principles of effective teaching. Section III offers suggestions for professional development, both for individuals and for communities of practice. This section recognizes that effective change requires long-term planning as well as collaboration among colleagues, and it offers strategies and materials for planning units of study, articulating grade-level expectations, and mapping yearlong instruction. And throughout the book, icons point you to additional resources and opportunities for interacting with other teachers on a companion website.

Autorenporträt
As a twelve-year veteran of the high school English language arts classroom, Sarah Brown Wessling has enjoyed working with all kinds of students throughout a spectrum of courses. She earned bachelor's and master's degrees from Iowa State University in English education and English literature, respectively. She also became a National Board Certified Teacher in 2005. Active in her district and state in professional development efforts, Wessling has served on numerous committees, special teams, and advisory boards. She has been especially active with the Iowa and National Council of Teachers of English, and has served as ICTE president. In 2010 Wessling was selected as the National Teacher of the Year and spent the year traveling nationally and internationally as a spokesperson for education. Having had hundreds of engagements around the country during that time, she says that the experience has "made [her] feel more responsible than ever to be a better teacher tomorrow." She returned to Johnston High School in 2011. Sarah and her husband, Tim, relish their favorite role as parents to Evan, Lauren, and Zachary at home in Johnston, Iowa.
