This course is designed for educators who are currently utilizing the Daily 5 structure. As we live in the teaching world of Common Core, we are called to provide increased opportunities for students to read complex text and produce high quality written work for a specific audience and purpose. Teachers are working hard to balance the demands of Common Core and the structure of Daily 5. Teachers are asking, “Do these two worlds really fit together?
Participants enrolled in “When Daily Five Met the Common Core” will analyze ELA Common Core standards, briefly review the foundation of Daily 5, examine Timothy Shanahan’s literacy framework, develop Core-aligned independent learning activities to be completed during Daily 5, and collaborate with colleagues.
