Reviews for The Common Core Companion: The Standards Decoded, Grades 9-12: What They Say, What They Mean, How to Teach Them
"I must say, I am duly impressed. This book gives the kind of ‘hands-on’ support classroom teachers and curriculum committees really need in doing the work of ‘unpacking’ the standards and interpreting those standards into curriculum documents. The very detailed, complete discussions of the standards and the breakdowns that the Burke does are, in my opinion, exemplary . . . Well done!"
Joe Crawford, Author of Aligning Your Curriculum to the Common Core State Standards "Fundamentally different from other Common Core books, The Common Core Companion is s a user’s guide designed by a teacher who actually uses the standards in his daily work with students. Jim Burke gently demystifies the Common Core State Standards and offers a practical tool for curricular alignment. I think you will find The Common Core Companion helps schools help themselves."
Carol Jago, Member "I love what Jim Burke has done to make the Standards less threatening and more useful for teachers. In particular, the indicators for what students and teachers should be doing, given the Standard, are extremely helpful; as are such a clear glossary and illuminating examples. All in all, The Common Core Companion is bound to be enormously useful and thus dog-eared!"
Grant Wiggins, President "I have never read a book for teachers so well laid out and highly useful. I predict administrators across the country will purchase this book for their secondary teachers to use in their staff meetings, individual department meetings, their PLCs, and for individual teachers to use as Burke puts it as ‘a personal compass to navigate the complexities of the Common Core Curriculum.’"
Debbie Silver, Ed.D., Author of Drumming to the Beat Different Marchers and Fall Down 7 Times, Get Up 8 "The subtitle for this guide, ′What They Say, What They Mean, How to Teach Them′ clearly defines the purpose of this outstanding resource. Utilizing a simple, consistent, and easy-to-read layout, the guide is divided into sections focusing on Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language."
