Common Core
Fall 2014 Students will be ready for college and career. Educators will focus on preparing students with
the skills they need post-high school. The focus shifts to looking deeper at our
content, not at covering additional content.
Common Core will bring a literacy lens to the content areas.
Wait! I don’t teach READING!
Common Core asks that every teacher use literacy skills to help their students understand
their content.

All 4 skills apply to all content areas!

nonfiction.

nonfiction.
