Pam Allyn

 

The Power to Persuade teaches students to articulate their own viewpoints and to defend these opinions with clear, concise, cohesive arguments in ways that are not only intuitive, but also informed. Each lesson set emphasizes citing specific evidence to support one’s ideas and refute opposing opinions. Effective listening, conversation, and oral speaking behaviors when discussing, collaborating or debating with peers, are also highlighted.

 

About the Program:

Core Ready is a dynamic series of books providing educators with critical tools for navigating the Common Core Standards effectively, fluidly, and successfully. In the pages of these books, readers see how to take complex concepts related to the standards and turn them into practical, specific, everyday instruction. The series is founded on the author’s 4 Doors to Core Ready, an easy to use yet strikingly brilliant way to access and organize all of the content within the standards:

“Inspiring. Genuine. Talking from down in the trenches not from up on high. Brings the Common Core down from the rafters for a more manageable understanding.”

 -- Wendy Fiore, Chester Elementary School (CT)

 

“I would strongly recommend it to colleagues and my administration because I feel it would be a resource series that would ultimately improve the way I teach literacy. I haven’t felt that way about a PD book since grad school.”

  -- Katie Lynn Klaus, M.S.Ed
