Common Sense for Common Core
three teachers share what's been working
Park Teachers Ana (6th), Van (4th/5th) and Fonda (3rd) Share Learning
We are participating in professional learning through a UCLA grant. Our teaching practices have grown, especially in reading and working with English Language Learners. We'd love to share some of the ideas we've tried out in our classrooms and how we're moving towards CCSS instruction in ELA.
