20. Common Core in Action: How Two Science Teachers are Implementing Common Core

In an article found in edutopia discusses how it may be a challenge for teachers in subjects areas other than math and English. With this said the article describes two teachers who use LDC (Literacy Design Collaborative) as a model to help implement the common core into their lessons. One of the two teachers, Kate Abole teaches science. She describes how she balanced instruction with traditional science activities and lessons. For example one day may consist of reading an article, while the day will consist of doing an activity. The other teacher, Christopher King who used similar methods as Katie but with ninth and tenth grade levels. 

I feel that the LDC model is a great way to help the students progress and involve themselves with the lesson. I believe this is a way to let the students learn and remember down the road, rather than just memorize and forget later.
