\"ShiftTeach\"<\/a>The Common Core English Language Arts (CCSS ELA) standards were developed to provide our kids a relevant, engaging, rigorous education. At the heart of the standards are three major shifts to the way we teach our students. This year I have been fortunate enough to have one of the bloggers on our state’s CoreLaborate blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I managed to write a complete series on the three shifts called for in the CCSS ELA thanks to a series of trainings I attended. I attended two trainings put together by my state’s teacher union, the Washington Education Association (WEA)<\/a> and a similar training put together by Achieve the Core<\/a>. I have to admit that it took me all three of those trainings before I actually started to get it because there’s so much there. I ended up writing two posts for the 1st shift, two posts for the second shift and one post for the third shift. Now I teach Science and I am working on wrapping my brain around the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)<\/a> and since Science includes reading, researching and writing, the CCSS ELA standards are appropriate for me too. Learning about the shifts was very helpful and I got a lot of great information and resources at the trainings that I share in my shift posts.<\/p>\n

I’m going to link to all five shift posts here so they are in one place and easy to access (reading them in order will probably be the most helpful):<\/p>\n

Shift 1<\/strong>, Regular practice with complex text <\/b>and its academic language<\/b>. Part 1<\/a> and Part 2<\/a><\/h3>\n

Shift 2<\/strong>, Reading, writing and speaking grounded in evidence from text<\/b>, both literary and informational. Part 1<\/a> and Part 2<\/a><\/h3>\n

Shift 3<\/strong>, Building knowledge<\/b> through content-rich nonfiction<\/b>. Part 1<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
