Personally, I found the article “The Common Core State
Standards,” to be very helpful and full of rich information. As the article stated
that the common core state standard for English is that they all have different
approaches for curriculum and instruction, that includes different approaches
on reading and writing skills. That knowledge goes with specific literary works,
such as genres, or forms, which involve the reading and writing process or
strategies. From there the ideas behind common core standard that set general goals
for student learning, but don’t specify what or how curriculum that will be
taught with the students. However, it is up to the teacher to be knowledgeable
and professional engaged with your students, while the important matter is to
improve student’s literacy. Yet, it is the teacher’s job to also collaborate
with their colleagues and the school district to get an idea on the curriculum that
will be taught to the students, as you can formulate your beliefs and own
decisions with your curriculum. Yet, with the No Child Left Behind Act it gives
future teachers the proper ideas that many high-school students will lack the
abilities and skills to be a good college student, as it is our job to help
change that idea for the better. Therefore, for English language arts the
common core state standard believes that literacy practice will allow your students
to meet or exceed the standard to build on their knowledge and draws ideas on
the world we live in and connect these ideas with text, language practices, and
critical issues. But also, an idea that I continue to think about teaching
would be, “Creating these spaces requires that you go beyond simply devising a
set of tasks or activities and, instead, envision ways to draw upon and exploit
students’ knowledge, experiences, and passions in ways that help them commit to
achieving shared goals,” which is a very good idea to think about when your
teaching (Pg. 5).
