Coach B's CCSS Series!!

 The Common Core - WBT Style

"What do we teach?" ask many.

"What don't we teach?" state a few..

 

"How do we teach it?" the curious inquire.

"How do we escape it?" cries the shrew

 

"When do we begin?" the teacher querries.

"You haven't yet?" the principal replies..

 

Well... uh ...the teacher stammers..

as she falters, stumbles  and lies.

 

A superhero is then born

by the name of Coach B

 

who offers some advice

and all of it free

 

on to the slideshow where students will focus

on one word Coach will teach them to apply

 

the magic of BECAUSE will become standard

and used often becomes alive

 

a single, a double a triple:  it's strong evidence you see

and yet made easy to teach as 1, 2 and 3

 

The more they use it the more they will know

how to think

all we had to do was pop in the show

and take a sip of our hot frothy drink

 

Thank you Coach for your special series

on how to teach the common core -

 

You've inspired me yet again

with tools to teach and wings to soar.

Here's a link to Coach B's special series on how to teach to the six shifts the common core brings. His first piece of the series is how to use the because clapper to incite critical thinking.  His slide show is ready to use and can be applied to almost any grade and subject.

Also, we found out tonight that there will be a national conference in June.  This is terribly exciting and will be held in Pineville, Louisiana.  I'm going to have to figure out a way to get down there.  I wonder if I can talk my family to travelling there for vacation :-)

Bells.

p.s.  I just checked and the link is not up yet but I will post it as soon as it is.
