The Common Core State Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects for English Language Learners

This volume in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Learners series was designed to deepen teachers' knowledge and provides instructional approaches and practices for supporting Grades 6–12 English language learners as they meet the ambitious expectations of the CCSS for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects. This book, like the others in this best-selling series, provides specific pedagogical practices, strategies, and ideas for teachers to reflect on the kind of instruction that is possible for making the demands of language use explicit.
