That version of the 6-8 standards you wish you had
Don't spend another minute poring over the standards. Jim Burke has already done the hard work for you with this roadmap of what each standard says, what each standard means, and how precisely to put that standard into practice across English Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects. Jim clearly lays out:
Grades 6-8 standards side by side with key distinctions
Different content-area versions of each standard
Explanations of each standard, with student prompts
Content to cover, lesson ideas, and instructional techniques
Glossary and adaptations for ELL students
