#208 Standards: Academic or Kid Friendly

Welcome everyone to the Craft & Draft podcast! We are so excited to bring you what we love, talking with you about workshop, literacy, writing, reading, and real world teaching. 

In this episode, Jacob and Pam discuss whether or not teachers should use the academic language of the standards with their students.  

Pam shares how over the years this topic has prompted many discussions due the differing teacher opinions over academic or kid friendly language.  She also explains how she worked with the standards in her classroom.

Jacob discusses the level of rigor that must be applied when implementing the standards in teacher lessons.  He also talks about when he uses scaffolds to help students meet the level of rigor required by the standards.

Join Jacob and Pam as they consider whether the standards need to be used with academic or kid friendly language.
