Why does the Common Core work well with contextualized skill intervention?
Answer
It works well because all through Common Core, you see the standards keep linking to purposeful communicative activities. You can pick out discrete skills. Sometimes the standard is a discrete skill itself like pronoun-antecedent agreement or subject-verb agreement. That is an example of a discrete skill, but you can see how it links to purposeful activities. I always want to go back and forth between the communicative context and the individual skill. I think Common Core helps us justify our individual skills and keep us focused on the communicative event.
