Teaching Common Core and ELD Standards (at the same time)

The new Common Core State Standards have impacted my instructional approach this year. One of the biggest challenges that I continue face is ensuring that all lessons not only meet the new content standards, but the English language development standards as well .  I had been wondering if I was doing a good job merging the standards, when I came across this rubric, created by Colorincolorado.  Here's a copy: http://ccweta.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/common-core-and-ell-curriculum-rubric1.pdf.   For more information, go to http://blog.colorincolorado.org/2014/02/27/common-core-curriculum-rubric-meeting-the-needs-of-ells/
