Navigating the Common Core with English Language Learners: Practical Strategies to Develop Higher-Order Thinking Skills (J-B Ed: Survival Guides) 1st Edition
Purchase options and add-ons
Navigating the Common Core with English Language Learners is the much-needed practical guide for ESL/ELL instructors. Written by experienced teachers of English Language Learners, this book provides a sequel to the highly-regarded ESL/ELL Teacher's Survival Guide and is designed to help teachers implement the Common Core in the ELL classroom. You'll find a digest of the latest research and developments in ELL education, along with comprehensive guidance in reading and writing, social studies, math, science, Social Emotional Learning and more. The Common Core is discussed in the context of ESL, including the opportunities and challenges specific to ELL students. Ready-to-use lesson plans and reproducible handouts help you bring these ideas into the classroom, and expert guidance helps you instill the higher-order thinking skills the Common Core requires.
The Common Core standards have been adopted in 43 states, yet minimal guidance has been provided for teachers of English Language Learners. This book fills the literature gap with the most up-to-date theory and a host of practical implementation tools.
- Get up to date on the latest stats and trends in ELL education
- Examine the challenges and opportunities posed by Common Core
- Find solutions to common issues that arise in teaching ELL students
- Streamline Common Core implementation in the ELL classroom
The ELL population is growing at a rapid pace, and the ELL classroom is not exempt from the requirements posed by the Common Core State Standards. ESL/ELL teachers know better than anyone else how critical language is to learning, and ELL students need a specialized Common Core approach to avoid falling behind. Navigating the Common Core with English Language Learners provides specific guidance and helpful tools that teachers can bring to the classroom today.

I teach English, Social Studies and International Baccalaureate classes to English Language Learners and English-proficient students at Luther Burbank High School in Sacramento, California.
I've written or edited thirteen books on education: The ELL Teacher's Toolbox (with co-author Katie Hull Sypnieski); Navigating The Common Core With English Language Learners (with co-author Katie Hull Sypnieski); Building A Community Of Self-Motivated Learners: Strategies To Help Students Thrive In School and Beyond; Classroom Management Q&As: Expert Strategies for Teaching; Self-Driven Learning: Teaching Strategies For Student Motivation; The ESL/ELL Teacher's Survival Guide (with co-author Katie Hull Sypnieski); Helping Students Motivate Themselves: Practical Answers To Classroom Challenges; English Language Learners: Teaching Strategies That Work; and Building Parent Engagement In Schools (with co-author Lorie Hammond).

A basketball team I play for has come in last place every year since 2014, so I should not give up my day job for a career in sports.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2017This book contains a wealth of strategies that are useful not only for English language learners, but also for language impaired students. I am a speech/language pathologist working in a public school and found this text chock full of ideas I can use. I highly recommend this text.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2020Very helpful and informative
- Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2019Needed it for a professional certificate. Excellent publication.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2017There are so many wonderful ideas that you can try out immediately in the classroom!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2016This might be a good book for a very beginning teacher, but it is a way to detailed for an experienced teacher. Actually gives you scrips of what to say to the students. Way too boring . There is very little new material from his last book .
- Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2016Have read about 1/3 so far, and already so helpful. I'm coming away with many strategies that I can use.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2016I loved this book so much I wrote a blog post about it. [...]
It's just what I've been looking for. How DO you do Common Core with English Learners? This book helps put the CCSS in language teachers can understand, tells what's important to know with English Learners and gives examples of how the standards can be met in the classroom with different levels of English proficiency.
It's way worth the time.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2016meh....lots of theory...not alot of practicality
