Dr. Roz Linder: Author of the Common Core Guidebook

"Textual evidence is support lifted directly from text to

support inferences, claims, and assertions. Textual

evidence is a student supporting how they know

something. There is a lot of buzz about text dependent

questions and requiring students to refer to the text, but

isn’t that what good readers do already? Textual evidence

does not want to keep the text a secret when students

discuss or answer questions about their reading. Textual

evidence demands that readers engage with the text and

share what specific aspects of the text influences their

thinking. Instead of asking what the central idea is,

teachers may want to rely on the addition of four words:

How do you know? How do you know what the central idea

of the text is? What proof do you have? This is where

textual evidence pushes students to."

The Optimal Learning Model

I Do. We Do. You Do. These diagrams expand upon building independent students. All lessons should be aligned--what you talk about and what graphic organizers you use in the beginning should be exactly what the scholars work on in small groups, what they practice independently, and what they are assessed on at the end. What should your goal ultimately look like? Diagram Source: Yasmin, TFA, literacy specialist

The Academic Impact Model

so...what does this even mean?? Let's start from the beginning. What else? What can we do about it? Informed and resilient teachers who know their strengths and weaknesses are most effective for tapping into the mindsets of those you perceive as different or the same as yourself.
