Uncommon Core: Where The Authors Of The Standards Go Wrong About Instruction-And How You Can Get It Right (Corwin Literacy)

The Common Core standards specify goals for instruction rather than instructional methods. Nonetheless, advocates for the standards, most notably David Coleman, have been outspoken in suggesting how teachers should teach in order to achieve them. This book identifies three important areas in which Coleman's instructional suggestions are particularly problematic: in their narrow focus on meaning at the expense of significance, in their focus on individual texts, and in their tendency to move away from prereading.
