Learning task and assignment#2 Understanding Common Core for ELA and Literacy

Watch  Common Core for ELA and Literacy video  and discuss your understanding of Common Core

      Many years ago, students' learning could vary in the U.S. based on where they lived and what kind of standards for learning they experienced. Under this circumstance, some of the students could perform outstandingly but left some behind the learning curve. And among this process, especially during the new school year or having newcomers, the teachers often felt anxious and school might need to provide the remedial course to make up the gap. Just like walk straight, if you deviate to another path, you more likely take longer time to get your destination. It seems very easy to understand, but the problem is no one thinks him/herself goes off track. In my opinion, common core resembles a map for ELA and Literacy, the educator can locate where the students are and know where they should go. This process can be infused lots of resources to assist learners in needs and push them to keep up with their peers.  Eventually, it can empower them to apply this knowledge and skills to other domains and real life with confidence!
