 * Note as you examine...**

Key Concepts:

Comparisons/Contrasts:

RE: READ Courses...Do we have the foundation needed to share these new standards with our preservice teachers? How should they be taught?

Ideas for resources/toolkits. How can we use these CCS be used in a way that honors the professional judgement of teachers?

Consider using the K-2 Assessment as a guide to plan for instruction - what standards does the child control? What's next for the child? (Concepts about Print, PHonics and word recognition, etc..)

Be aware of how the standards are structured - Literature, Informational Text, Foundational Skills, Writing, Speaking/Listening, Language, and Range/Quality/Complexity)

Use the 3301 modules, course assignments, objectives to think about how they align and address the CCS.
