The purpose of The Apple Shouldn’t Fall Far From Common Core: Teaching Techniques to Include All students is to offer teacher candidates, teachers, teacher educators, administrators, and other education professionals evidence based interventions to use when developing and implementing common core state standards or adopted state standards to children considered at-risk, English Language Learners, and students having disabilities.
Certain evidence based interventions are offered in this book with the hope that readers will utilize the chapter author(s)' experiences and knowledge to inform their own practices. The evidence-based interventions selected for this book are considered common across the different accreditation bodies and critical for common core implementation. Other evidence based interventions have been selected for this book because they are important to the professional discourse and present additions to the more mainstream teaching, such as differentiation of instruction, universal design of instruction, and adaptions to the lessons, such as accommodations are presented.
I have been waiting for a book like this to help me lace together the planning and implementation of Common Core Standards to my diverse student population! This is the ultimate, ALL-inclusive go-to guide for beginning and veteran teachers alike. Not only does it encompass every aspect of educating each child; no matter the difficulty or disability they may have using the mandated CCSS curriculum, it also delivers explicit examples of the ‘how-to’ in a user-friendly format. It is a well-researched, practical, and enlightening read for ALL including administrators who would be wise to actively participate in its use as a book study for staff development.
