Informationen zum Autor Paula Saine is professor and John Heckert Endowed Faculty of Literacy in the Department of Teaching, Curriculum, and Educational Inquiry at Miami University in Ohio where she teaches courses in literacy and technology. She is an internationally recognized leader and expert, especially in preparing teacher candidates to incorporate best practices while engaging K-12 students in literacy instruction. Her research centers on three important and interrelated principles that include: literacy, cultural competence, and the use of digital technologies in K–12. Klappentext Common Core is an instructive book that enhances classroom teacher knowledge-base of global and multicultural literature texts, which as a result, deepens student appreciation for cultures around the world. Through use of technology and multicultural literature, Dr. Saine fires up the imagination of students, as she transports them to other cultures, countries and regions of the world. It is a highly nuanced text that builds bridges across cultures while meeting English Language Arts (ELA) standards. The text is likely to make a lasting contribution to this mostly neglected area of student cultural awareness and development.
