How can I use the Common Core standards in my classroom?

Who’s afraid of the big, bad Common Core?  Not Byrne & Associates!  We can help you build your brick (school) house!  We offer introductory, intermediate, and advanced training in the Common Core Standards for school instructional staff.

We’ll help you understand what the Common Core State Standards mean for you by exploring the classroom application and best practices for teaching the new Standards.  We can help you to:

• Understand the cognitive processes required for student mastery.

• Create lesson plans aligned with programs and Common Core State Standards maps.

• Lead students through critical thinking and advanced problem-solving.

• Conduct ongoing, formative assessment in reading, writing, and math.

This is just the beginning!  We can also help you to strengthen the writing process across the content areas, prepare for Common Core State Standards assessment through analysis of program data, and to understand text complexity.  We’ve got the answers to avoid you getting your house blown down.  Contact us!
