"Deconstructing the Common Core Standards: Analyzing for Content, Level of Cognition & Context"

The Common Core State Standards provide us with a unified approach to what our nation’s students will learn, but they do not tell us what needs to be done to teach the standards. In this webinar, you will learn a step-by-step system to better understand the Common Core Standards by breaking them down by content, level of cognition, and context.  Find out how to determine the individual objectives in a standard, the level of rigor and thinking skills needed for a standard, the teaching strategies required to meet the standard, and how to contextually assess a standard.  Jessica McCreary and Caitlin Hartman, Instructional Coaches with Action Learning Systems, join Jason Willoughby, Director at Action Learning Systems, to show you a process that will help you be successful in teaching the Common Core Standards.
