43 states have embraced a new set of academic standards called the Common Core State Standards. The purpose of the standards is to increase academic competitiveness in the US, while also preparing pupils for careers and college. These serve as benchmarks for what knowledge and skills in math and language arts kids should possess from kindergarten through their senior year of high school.

Many of the benchmarks are included in the Common Core at every grade level, but there are certain commonalities. Language arts standards emphasize using evidence to support arguments. Pupils will write more viewpoints and fewer personal stories in their writing. They will be required to read more nonfiction as well. The arithmetic standards cover fewer topics in more detail.

The idea behind the Common Core curriculum, also referred to as Common Core State Standards, was straightforward: if all kids were held to the same high academic standards, achievement and college preparation would increase.

This ebook will give you a practical description of the Common Core and the basic concepts behind it.

What is Classroom Management?

Classroom management refers to the strategies and techniques that teachers use to create a positive and effective learning environment for their students.

Classroom management can be challenging for teachers, especially those who are new to the profession or who are working with difficult or challenging students. Overall, effective classroom management requires a combination of planning, organization, and interpersonal skills, and can be a difficult but rewarding aspect of teaching.

Effective classroom management techniques help to establish clear expectations for behavior and academic performance, build positive relationships between the teacher and students, and maintain consistent routines. When students feel safe, respected, and engaged in the learning process, they are more likely to be motivated and successful in their academic pursuits.

In the Fall of 2019, I started sending out "Tech Tuesday" technology tips emails to the staff at my school. I included things that might help them in their classroom, both face2face and digitally.

I've been able to help teachers all over our great nation. Now, I've composed many of those emails into this collection of "Tech Tips w/ Mr. Reece."
