Common Core for Social Studies Teachers!
I had the opportunity this week to interview Bruce Leader, a 10th grade Global Studies teacher at Starpoint High School in Lockport, NY. This interview is the newest podcast on the Curriculum21 Podcast Channel.
Hear/Download our conversation here: http://blog.curriculum21.com/?p=239
You can subscribe to the Curriculum21 Podcast channel on iTunes here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/curriculum-21-podcast/id419480932
In this podcast, I ask Bruce questions about integrating the literacy standards for writing and reading from the Common Core into his professional practice. Bruce is an educator who has taught all over the world and brings a global literacy perspective to his students.
As we peel back the layers of Common Core integration nationwide, I think it's important that we share conversations and best practices around the ways we implement the new standards. In the near future, I'll be blogging and producing podcasts around literacy in Science, Physical Education and Health, Art, and Music.
Also, I'd like to publicly thank Bruce for sitting down to talk with me. He's a phenomenal teacher and offers a modern, global view of educating his students!

'Twas the Night Before Pre-K
'Twas the night before Pre-K
and excitement rang out,
going to bed early,
I was beginning to doubt.
The supplies were all ready,
The backpack was full,
With gluesticks and pencils,
And notebooks for school.
Her mom and I are ready,
To start her school path,
We're excited she's learning,
Reading, writing, and math,
And new languages,
And Science, and History too,
All to get ready
For whatever she'll do.
New Common Core standards,
New ways to prepare,
We want her to be ready,
And world-aware!
We've anticipated
The things that she'll learn
As a student in school,
With much to discern.
We're proud of our child,
We want her to thrive
Beyond traditional constraints
Always flying high.
To her teacher, we pledge,
Our support to the max,
To her journey, we hope,
There is nothing she lacks.
As we begin our new life
Of bright public ed,
We wish Lily success,
In her journey ahead.
We love that she's ready,
Excited and glad,
To begin a lifelong love
Of the world to be had.
Every opportunity,
That this world can provide,
Is now in your reach, child,
Just step inside...
*Your mother and I love you very much, Lily, and are so excited for you to begin your educational journey. We know the value to your life that learning brings, and we hope that you take advantage of it. We're so proud of you already, and look forward to many great things filled with wonder and passion.
* "Once you learn to read, you will forever be free." - Frederick Douglass
