NSTA Recommends(R) National Science Teachers Association "This book, Common Core in the Content Areas, challenges teachers in the content areas, especially History and Science teachers, to evaluate the Common Core standards for English and get students to think. The author, Jessica Bennett, offers specific tips for teachers to successfully adopt these standards. This book is going on my shelf." --Deborah Stevens, NSTA Read the full review here! "What a terrific resource! Jessica Bennett's text will enrich educators' understanding of the Common Core State Standards and provide a road map for designing lessons that foster literacy. The theory and instruction in this book will help educators to teach students to succeed not only with the standards, but in life beyond the classroom." --Colleen Ruggieri, a Martha Holden Jennings Master Teacher of Ohio and Assistant Professor of English at Ohio University "Thanks, Jessica! As a science teacher, I truly appreciate this book. I enjoyed reading it and I am especially grateful for all the planning sheets. This has encouraged me and has simplified implementing more Common Core strategies into my lesson plans, as I am certain it will others in our profession." --Melanie J.
