COMING IN MARCH, 2012 (Corwin Press): Mapping Comprehensive Units to the English Language Arts Common Core Standards, K-5
"Kathy's book is the most relevant book for teachers, administrators and policy makers as we ramp up to the implementation of Common Core State Standards. Kathy takes the daunting task of reorganizing curriculum and assessments to the new English Language Arts standards and provides clear strategies to make the instructional shift. We all need the support and good humour Kathy inflects throughout her book as we embark on this new task in public education. It would be great if Kathy could make a personal visit to every district grappling with introducing Common Core, but since she can't be everywhere her book is a good place to start.
"Kathy's articulation of the new ELA standards coupled with templates, rubrics, samples of formative and interim task assessments are the combination of materials necessary for successful implementation. The book is useful as soon as it is in the hands of the reader."
— Tracy A. Huebner, Senior Research Associate WestEd, San Francisco, CA
