The document discusses effective Common Core teaching strategies such as having students do their own research using a variety of sources beyond just textbooks. It recommends that teachers focus less on textbooks and more on developing student inquiry and higher-order learning through cross-text reading, questioning of materials, and applying information to their own lives. Teachers are advised to incorporate journals, articles, trade books and internet sources while gradually increasing the complexity of texts and having students conduct their own research.

4. Dr. Mahar’s Presentation
Key Points:
• Don’t focus so much on the textbook
• Have students do research themselves
• Studies find this to be a greater predictor of
college readiness than IQ scores
• Students develop higher learning through
cross-text reading

5. How do we get it done?
Use a variety of sources:
• Trade books
• Journals
• Articles
• Internet

6. Where is the Inquiry?
• Have the students question the material they
are reading
• Within a category let them have learning
choices
• Let students value the material by applying
text to their lives. (how does the information
they are learning affect them?)
• Gradually increase the complexity of the text
• Have the students conduct research

7. Follow up and Discussion Questions
• How do you manage classroom time
incorporating journals, textbooks and other
cross-text material?
• How do you correlate inquiry based learning
to Regents standards when students are
controlling the learning?
• How can we encourage social motivation
through dialog without it leading to students
engaging in chit chatting behavior?
