Common Core in Action

This article explains the Literacy Design Collaborative, which goes along with the Common Core. The LDC helps students with developing better literacy and comprehension skills, and it focuses on the subjects of Science and History. Two teachers implemented this into their very own classrooms and had amazing results. Personally, this idea seems a little overwhelming to me. Science is not only a difficult subject to learn, it is also a difficult subject to teach. It is great that these two teachers were able to grasp the concepts even though it took time. The article ends with advice for teachers who are struggling to incorporate the Common Core in their classroom. The advice is to take things in small steps rather than leaps and bounds, and set goals for what you want to achieve in your classroom by the end of the year.
