We had a lovely dinner last night sponsored by Scholastic filled with lively
conversation about Common Core, Libraries, Technology, and life in
general.
At our dinner table- The talented Joyce Valenza,
the witty Doug Johnson, and the event’s
knowledgeable lecturer Marc Aaronson. Mr. Aaronson highlighted the role of
non-fiction in the common core standards for students, and we discussed topics such as Common Core's “Appendix
B” is a “suggested” list of texts- not a dictated list.
Here’s another great article
from School Library Journal related to media specialists and their role in
common core implementation.
The digital non-fiction content from Scholastic is fantastic- we will preview it in depth in the coming weeks.
