This research study will be conducted in my usual classroom with the assistance of English teachers at my school. I believe the new Common Core assessments will force all teachers to focus more on reading and writing skills. Teachers must work together to ensure students can comprehend written text, analyze the text, and formulate written answers using induction and deduction. Students will have to know how to apply knowledge to solve extensive problems, such as a research task and/or in-depth math problems, instead of simply answering multiple choice questions from information obtained from rote memorization. This is precisely why I am so focused on increasing vocabulary comprehension since it is related to all content areas. In order to meet the demands of the new tests, we as teachers will have to consciously and purposely change our instruction to align with these new standards. In the end, if we educate students with the new Common Core standards in mind, which includes helping them to increase reading comprehension and specifically vocabulary comprehension, I believe they will be adequately prepared to meet the challenges they will face in the future.

Furthermore, I will welcome additional insight from English teachers at my school that may be able to inform me of specific vocabulary terms students have difficulty understanding since research proposes that vocabulary usage is an essential element in learning English language as well as a vital component in reading comprehension and specifically morphology can play a major role in increasing vocabulary knowledge for English language learners, which can also assist with reading comprehension (Pacheco & Goodwin,

“The Common Core: Far from Home” is an article that discusses the discrepancies of the common core standards, which is one of the most significant changes in our educational system. One of the reasons is that the shift to move to common core was so quiet that 79% of American voters knew nothing about it. The author states that saying that common core is based off of standards is true but can be misleading because the standards are not a curriculum and it is left up to school districts to figure out the details. However, the standards come with a testing program that is more rigorous than the NCLB act of 2001.

Our current period in education is full of great change and opportunity. Students, teachers, and principals are being challenged to think, learn, and apply in different ways. The Common Core State Standards and technology are the main reasons this time period is so important. These two things are creating, "great opportunities within themselves" (Fullan, p.12, 2014) and at the same time are very challenging because they have "unclear implications for implementation" (Fullan, p.12, 2014). Both Common Core State Standards and technology are very complex and create an exciting time in learning across the educational system however, make it challenging for educators in the U.S. to be effective and implement in a way that maximizes learning.

“When the Common Core first caught public attention in early 2010, it seemed like an unstoppable locomotive… As I write in the summer of 2014, the prospect is a bit different. That locomotive is nowhere to be seen and may be lying on its side in a dry gulch”(Wood 29). Common Core started off strong however, after uncovering all of the problems that lie within it, it has become more of a problem than a

I have recently been afforded the opportunity to work at Lincoln Elementary School as an intern in order to complete my BSW field work requirement. Lincoln Elementary School is not your average standard educational department as it specializes in more than just education, it creates an opportunity for students to be a part of the social justice system. This school creates opportunities for children to be seen as equal members of society and bridges the gap between individuals with special needs and society as a whole. This experience has been rewarding to me on a personal level because it has shown me the importance of social justice on multiple different levels.

The California Common Core Standard I chose was Reading Standards for Foundational Skills K-5 on pages 17 and 18. I specifically chose first grade students. This grade level is appropriate for my teaching area when I begin to student teach and for the classroom I currently work in. First grade students should be able to identify the key components of a sentence (the first word, capitialization and ending punctuation) on a piece of paper. Phonological awareness is important for students to learn early on.

Although she makes the point that standardized testing does show results for areas of improvement, she does not acknowledge why these tests are controversial, and why some students already start at a disadvantage. People forget that teachers and administrators work for students; this means young children. Students, especially young children, must aim to be strong readers in order to survive in society. Everyday people are mislead and taken advantage of because of poor literacy skills. It is crucial that classrooms terminate the problem early on, not perpetuate it.

The United States Common Core State Standards for Education The Common Core State Standards is a controversial subject among educators, parents and general public. What most people do not realize is state standards have been around since the 1900’S, and every state has had their own standards in the early 2000’s. Each state standard has levels or benchmarks, which state what the student should be proficient in per grade level. Most of these standards are in place for third grade through high school.

The article I chose to read was about the struggle with the Common Core math standards. The Common Core standards are geared more towards the “why” just as much as the “how.” The author talks about how this is a complete change in pace from what teachers grew up and learned. The new change being so different from what teachers have learned has made it very difficult for them to teach. There have been changes made within some education schools regarding this issue.

Recently, the Common Core State Standards were developed and kids were going to be tested more than ever. However, all of this education reform has been a failure because our testing scores have not improved, the testing makes children suffer, and it doesn’t improve how teachers teach. Education reforms has had little effect on our testing scores. The average score for a 17 year old student doing a reading test in the beginning of school is 285 and over 40
