Although there has been considerable interest and concern surrounding the implementation of the Common Core State Standards, there is almost no information regarding best practices for getting at-risk students to attempt the rigor embraced by the Standards. This text offers lesson plans, realistic advice, and explanations and descriptions focused on how to move academically discouraged students from failure to thrive to success with the Common Core.
As a result of reading this text, I believe the information in this book is valuable to all teachers today. It is my hope that teachers who are aware of the implications and ramifications of CCSS, will use this book as their “bible” of instruction, whatever their area of focus. There's just so much valuable and practical "how to teach to all students" information; educators will be foolish not to read, absorb and follow the strategies, suggestions and advice included.
