Overview

New hope for our students who struggle most

Under the best of circumstances meeting the Common Core can be a challenge. But if you’re a teacher of academically and linguistically diverse students—and who isn’t these days—then that “challenge” may sometimes feel more like a “fantasy.” Finally, here are two expert educators who are brave enough, knowledgeable enough, and grounded enough to tackle this issue.

Armed with this resource’s advice, tools, and strategies, you’ll


• Better understand the 32 ELA anchor standards
• Learn more about the specific skills “uncommon learners” need to master them
• Discover new research-based teaching strategies aligned to each standard
