Born out of "The Pit," one of the most dangerous and poverty stricken neighborhoods in Cortown, The Pit Crew is committed to acquiring the American dream...anyway they can. Paulson Gray, aka Silk, is their leader and is determined to make a name for himself. Like his father before him, who is currently a resident of Antioch Island State Penitentiary, Silk begins to make waves in the game. Following a deal gone bad, Silk has a life altering experience, where he is called into service for GOD's Kingdom. After being given the opportunity to join the special crime initiative, S.C.U.M.M. (Strategic Control, Urban Malefaction Management) in lieu of going to prison, SILK accepts an undercover assignment to take down his old crew. SILK struggles to walk through his new life as a Christian amidst the lies and deceit of his job as well as those around him. He questions whether his new life with CHRIST is worth it and wonders why GOD chose to use him, a criminal, for the advancement of HIS Kingdom. Still, Silk continues to navigate his former world of corruption where there are few people he can trust and those that he loves want nothing to do with him.

This practical, supportive book begins with an overview of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), addressing some frequently asked questions and concerns about them. Then, the heart of the book features vignettes of six grade 3-5 classroom teachers from a diverse range of schools, sharing their innovative lesson ideas and showing how they address the CCSS in concert with the deliberate, student-centered teaching and learning choices they already make. Focusing on such oft-taught topics as identifying themes, making and supporting inferences, determining main ideas, and summarizing, these teachers consider how to accommodate students' different learning styles and offer ideas for instruction that crosses multiple disciplinary areas. Featured texts include _Because of Winn-Dixie_, _D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths_ paired with _The Lightning Thief_, and a classroom blog in which students share their thinking with their classmates. Throughout, Williams and his colleagues stress the importance of formative assessment based on student needs to guide daily instruction, as well as time-tested principles of good teaching expressed in NCTE guidelines and position statements. The third section offers further ideas for integrating the CCSS into your individual teaching, collaborating with colleagues, and becoming--or extending your work as--a teacher advocate.
