technical subjects, educators need a grounded, specific text on how to scaffold students from where they are to where they need to be according to the Common Core State Standards. The C.C.S.S. assume that students already have more skills, prior knowledge, and motivation than may be real. Therefore, teachers and administrators require some assistance for helping all students reach the rigorous demands of C.C.S.S. . This text provides specific, successful strategies that are targeted for each of the secondary content areas. This text is designed to help all educators translate the C.C.S.S. so that it can become a guiding force, not a stumbling block.
