English Language Arts:

RESA Professional Development for English Language Arts will guide participants through a combination of topics including text complexity and an introduction to unit development. The Common Core State Standards has an entire standard devoted solely to text complexity. Standard 10 defines a grade-by-grade “staircase” of increasing text complexity that rises from beginning reading to the college and career readiness level.

We are going to create text complexity placemats in our Spring Training. We need participants to bring an informational text that is commonly used at their grade level and one literary text.

The placemats and rubric have undergone major cosmetic surgery since the Kansas ones. These placemats will eventually (by early fall) be placed in a repository that will be shared by all of the CCSS states!
