The CCS ELA K-12 Resource Adoption Request for Proposal is Now Live!
According to the calendar for the RFP, it is the district's goal to be in contract with the chosen vendor(s) by May 1, 2020. Thus, you can expect training dates throughout the summer on newly adopted resources and be able to start SY2020-2021 knowing how to use the new resources:)
From the CEA Voice: Textbook Selection Committee Nominations Open
Our Master Agreement provides CEA members input into vital classroom decisions. Section 504.01 details the agreed-upon framework for one of these, textbook selection. When it is time to review textbooks in a particular subject area, teachers from those subjects participate. The District will be selecting textbooks for reading [ELA] and math for grades K–12. Here’s how the process works:
CCS posts a notice asking for textbook-adoption committee participants.
Only teachers from each pertinent subject area and grade level at
schools involved elect the nominees.
Each of the building nominee elections is conducted by its principal
and Association Building Council (ABC).
- Nominations should be emailed to CEA President John Coneglio (coneglioj@ceaohio.org) and copied to Leslie Kelley (lkelly@columbus.k12.oh.us) no later than Friday, Feb. 14.
- Nominations should be on school letterhead signed by both the building principal and Senior Faculty Representative.
- Nominees go to a joint Association and Board committee for a final vote.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH LESSONS AVAILABLE ON TEACHROCK.ORG SITE
Without doubt, the history of American popular music is the history of black experience in the United States. From the banjo (one of America’s earliest popular instruments) to Hip Hop, popular music has been continually informed by the cultural resilience, ingenuity, and genius of the African American community in the face of enormous injustice.
This TEACHROCK BLACK HISTORY COLLECTION of lessons highlights the intersections of music and black experience in America, from slavery to abolition to sharecropping to the Great Migration to Southern integration. The lesson collection also focuses on the various social movements initiated by the black community, from CivilRights to Black Power to Black Lives Matter. TeachRock also plans to release new lessons each week during Black History Month. Here is the collection for the first week which mainly has an elementary/middle school focus.
Stanford History Education Group (SHEG) Released New Reading Like a Historian Lessons
New Book, Resources, and Webinar has ties to our Classroom Mission of Read, Write, and Discuss Every Day!
To all teachers of all grade levels and disciplines, here’s a challenge: increase the quantity and quality of authentic communication in every lesson. Authentic communication happens when students use language (reading, writing, listening, speaking, conversing, etc.) to build up meaningful claims and concepts—not just to accumulate points in order to get better grades.
The big benefits? Authentic communication cultivates richer language development, deeper learning of content concepts and skills, more rigor and engagement, increased empathy, greater student agency, and more.
If interested, check out the following activities and classroom examples from Jeff Zwiers latest book, The Communication Effect:
- Authentic Reading: How to Enhance Comprehension
- Authentic Listening: How to Enhance Listening to Presentations
- Authentic Speaking: How to Enhance Problem Solving in Math
- Authentic Writing: How to Enhance Shared and Collaborative Writing
- Authentic Conversing: How to Enhance Paired Conversations in Science
In all, The Communication Effect describes over 200 suggestions for infusing authentic communication into your instructional activities across disciplines. For even more information, attend the upcoming free webinar (February 25th at 6:30pm) from Corwin on how to maximize authentic communication in the classroom.

MIDDLE SCHOOL SPRING DEBATE REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN
Gifted and Talented hopes that you will join them for the spring debate tournament at Capital University on Thursday, April 9, 2020. SEE THIS MEMO with information regarding the tournament and submit the Intent to Participate form included in the memo either electronically or fax (number on the form) by March 6, 2020. The resolution for the policy debate is,
Resolved: The United States Federal Government should significantly increase regulations on the use of DNA.
-Debate is a great opportunity for students to learn how to develop argumentative and persuasive writing, speaking and listening skills aligned to the content standards as well as increase knowledge and capacity for reading informational text. Research supports that debate is one of the most effective classroom instructional strategies particularly for middle and high school students. We encourage all schools to consider integrating debate across disciplines- by having the students research the topic in science, develop arguments with supporting evidence to write a persuasive essay or speech supporting a position on this topic in ELA and possibly discussing government policies that influence laws on the topic. So feel free to share this opportunity with science and social studies teachers.
-Consider bringing a team or two to participate in the spring tournament where students will be debating issues on the use of DNA. Start simple and move to the complex by selecting appropriate reading level content and websites to begin researching what DNA is and issues surrounding the use of DNA. Start with teaching students how to take notes and cite sources. G & T has debate units with templates and specific sources on the topic available upon request.The middle school and elementary gifted resource specialists are available to provide resources and support particularly for teachers new to policy debate and debate in general.
-Contact Michele Ballinger, Middle School Gifted Resource Specialist, with any questions.
