C Comprehension deep

DDifferentiation Differentiation is making sure that the right students get the right learning tasks at the right time. Once you have a sense of what each student holds as ‘given’ or ‘known’ and what he or she needs in order to learn, differentiation is no longer an option; it is an obvious response.

Reflections Top three blocks to build our foundation… 1.____________________ 2.____________________ 3.____________________

I just bought all the titles listed in the CCSS Appendix B for my teachers from Book Source, so don’t I now have everything that they need? How do you see TCM/Shell products tying into that purchase? Why would I need more text for my teachers and students? Question… Question…

My math coordinator does not have any funding to purchase the Math Readers. He wants me to buy these from the reading funds. Can the Math Readers support the CCSS for ELA? Aren’t they just for math? Question… Question…

I am looking for something that I can purchase that will provide strong nonfiction text for my teachers to use in small group instruction. I need it to also have different levels of text to meet the needs of multiple students as well as targeted instructional plans based on good pedagogy. It would be terrific if it had a writing connection, too. What do you think? Question… Question…

There will be new monies for Race to the Top for early literacy. Any product would need to incorporate standards that support the kindergarten/first grade CCSS. There would also need to be an assessment component. Do you have anything that fit my needs? Question… Question…

A Final Thought… Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises. Demosthenes
