Common Core Learning Standards & Assessments - Science
Connecting Common Core Literacy to Reading and Writing in Science Class Description: In this 2-day workshop, participants will be introduced to the NYSED ELA Common Core Learning Standards with a focus on how the Common Core is connected to reading and writing in science. Participants will explore strategies for reading informational text (i.e. Close Read, Two Tier Vocabulary) and strategies for explanatory and argument writing. Participants will be asked to bring text they will use in their science instruction so that they will be able to tailor the workshop to their classroom instruction.
