Shifting to the Common Core is a teacher resource that helps students to reach deeper levels of knowledge.
Shifting to the Common Core is a teacher resource that addresses deeper levels of knowledge.
The Common Core State Standards require students to demonstrate deeper levels of thinking than ever before. Previous high-stakes assessments tested what students could recall, understand, and apply. The new assessments measure those levels, but also require students to carefully analyze information, evaluate it, and synthesize effective responses.
Shifting to the Common Core helps teachers address these deeper-thinking levels in their classrooms through strategies and activities, rubrics and model responses, and options for remediation.
