Description:
Unpack the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in a balanced way, using rich content and rigorous thinking processes. The CCSS thread the skills of literacy and reading, writing, speaking and listening through narrative and informative text.
The key to implementing the CCSS with relevancy, is to address them, with explicit teaching of the higher order thinking skills that are embedded in rich subject matter content. (ELA, Science, Math, Social Studies, History, Technology).
In this one (or two) day training, the focus is on the high frequency words, in other words, the thinking skills that students need to master.
These skills teach kids how to process, analyze, evaluate, produce and present with rich content and relevant think. With careful analysis we have broken down the CCSS to their essential sub-skills and created the Syllabus of Seven Thinking Skill Sets and 21 Explicit Thinking Skills.
The Syllabus of Seven Thinking Skill Sets:
1 - Critical Thinking - Analyze, Evaluate, Problem Solve
2 - Creative Thinking - Generate, Associate, Hypothesize
3 - Complex Thinking - Clarify, Interpret, Determine
4 - Comprehensive Thinking - Understand, Infer, Compare
5 - Collaborative Thinking - Explain, Develop, Decide
6 - Communicative Thinking - Reason, Connect, Represent
7 - Cognitive Transfer of Thinking - Synthesize, Generalize, Apply
Participants leave with:
- Knowledge of the Common Core State Standards
- A Framework of Anchor Standards
- Syllabus of Seven Skill Sets Embedded in the CCSS
- 20 Engaging Classroom Strategies to Implement and Assess CCSS
- Explicit Instructional Methods to Teach the Skills
- Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening Strategies for All Disciplines
