Beyond Core Expectations A Schoolwide Framework For Serving The Not-So-Common Learner, Paperback

Create a schoolwide foundation to ensure academic success for ALL students

This book demonstrates a system-wide approach to support the learning needs of culturally, linguistically, and academically diverse students. The authors deliver a six-point model for developing improved programs, policies, and practices, including:

• Mapping and aligning an integrated curriculum—making the mainstream curricula accessible for all learners
• Collaborative planning and assessment—pooling teachers’ intelligence so the whole is greater than the sum of the parts
• Teaching students explicit learning strategies—empowering students by taking the focus off the teacher and putting it back on learners
