Building Academic Language: Meeting Common Core Standards Across Disciplines, Grades 5-12 (Jossey-Bass Education Series)
The Common Core State Standards require students to do more with knowledge and language than ever before.

Common Core Standards in Diverse Classrooms describes seven research-based teaching practices for developing complex language and literacy skills across grade levels and disciplines: using complex texts, fortifying complex output, fostering academic interaction, clarifying complex language, modeling, guiding, and designing instruction. Most important, you will find clear descriptions and examples of how these essential practices can—and should—be woven together in real lessons. You will also find the following:
