Dr. Karen K. Wixson, University of North Carolina at Greensboro
This presentation will illustrate the shifts in assessment and instruction related to the CCSS in English Language Arts identified by the developers of both the CCSS-ELA and the forthcoming assessments. These shifts include: 1) Regular practice with complex text and its academic language; 2) Reading, writing and speaking grounded in evidence from literary and informational text; and 3) Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction.
A recording of the webinar can be viewed on the CCSS playlist at the TextProject YouTube channel.
