Common Core CPR by Releah Cossett Lent

Common Core CPR by Releah Cossett Lent

Common Core CPR is needed. Urgently. Embracing what is best about the standards, Lent and Gilmore explicitly connect ideal outcomes to strategies for coaxing reluctant learners into engagement and achievement.

"I have read two books that give me hope that the CCSS may improve both teaching and learning, especially for struggling readers and writersThis book, written by ReLeah Lent and Barry Gilmore, is one of those two books (the other was written by Lucy Calkins and her colleagues). . . . So, read this book and then begin to adapt your instruction in the manner described so artfully."

-- Richard L. Allington, Professor of Education
"This is a very helpful and very timely book. Lent and Gilmore provide a very smart yet workable and commonsense approach to not only engaging struggling learners, but then assisting them through collaborative activity in a meaningful context of use to greater facility as readers and writers, speakers, and listeners. The approach will certainly help teachers help their students to meet the next generation of standards and assessments, but also so much more than that." -- Jeffrey D. Wilhelm, Professor of Education and Director
"Common Core CPR is a powerful text. . . . [It] offers commonsense suggestions for successful work with the standards in all classrooms, especially with students who struggle. Using an interdisciplinary approach to literacy, the authors do not view the standards as isolated skills to teach, but as natural outcomes as they scaffold learning."
-- Sharon Draper, Author of Panic and Tears of a Tiger

"Finally!  A practical and comprehensive guide for teachers who want to ensure that the needs of  all students are met in this age of Common Core Standards, including reluctant and struggling readers and writers. Thank you, ReLeah Lent and Barry Gilmore, for helping ease one our greatest fears about the Common Core--that struggling students will struggle even more."

-- Deborah Appleman, Author of Critical Encounters in High School English, Second Edition
