Common Core for Social Studies Teachers!

I had the opportunity this week to interview Bruce Leader, a 10th grade Global Studies teacher at Starpoint High School in Lockport, NY. This interview is the newest podcast on the Curriculum21 Podcast Channel.

In this podcast, I ask Bruce questions about integrating the literacy standards for writing and reading from the Common Core into his professional practice. Bruce is an educator who has taught all over the world and brings a global literacy perspective to his students.


As we peel back the layers of Common Core integration nationwide, I think it's important that we share conversations and best practices around the ways we implement the new standards. In the near future, I'll be blogging and producing podcasts around literacy in Science, Physical Education and Health, Art, and Music.


Also, I'd like to publicly thank Bruce for sitting down to talk with me. He's a phenomenal teacher and offers a modern, global view of educating his students!
