There are no federal funds tied to the Common Core, so no money is at stake for Iowa.

(1) critical thinking and problem solving; (2) collaboration and leadership; (3) agility and adaptability; (4) initiative and entrepreneurialism; (5) effective oral and written communication; (6) accessing and analyzing information; and (7) curiosity and imagination.

I think these are all great...but think back to the '5 essential characteristics' and formative assessment, etc. How will we be able to "assess" these skills? It's tough to assess these soft skills, in my opinion.
-
Yes, these are definitely broad topics. What underlying, assessable skills make up these survival skills?

formative assessment resources to be used by DE/AEA to support districts.

Formative assessment articles that will be used by DE/AEA to support schools in developing understanding and implementation of ICC's 'assessment for learning' essential characteristic. **Many links aren't working; I have hard copies of articles. Some can be found by Googling, too. A good place to start, I guess.

Teachers put off dealing with non-emergency situations and needs until students are working
-
I like to say, "let's talk about it later..." It gives students a chance to cool down and me a chance to think about it...as well as keeps the class moving forward.
-
This is a great idea! How much of my class time is spent with students telling me "I forgot my book" or "I had pizza last night" or other things that may be interesting, but not relevant to what we need to do!
-
I agree. A lot of time during class is spent on nonrelevant discussion. We need to refocus to keep the class flowing.

High school and middle grade teachers have bellwork/warm-up/sponge activities on the board or overhead projector so students get to work as soon as they enter the classroom
-
If you haven't thought about a bell-ringer, you should. It gets the students working right away and gives you time to take attendance and do other things for the first few minutes. It may seem like "busy work," but you'll eventually figure out how to use the bell ringer to maximize your instruction, too.

Objectives for the day are displayed on the board
-
I can go either way on this one. I used to post objectives, but students didn't really get into it. Instead, I post a bulleted list of the day's activities on the board, i.e. 1) Discuss HW 2) Go over quizzes 3) Circumference of Circles 4) Area of Circles This takes away the "what are we doing today?" questions and gives students an idea of what to expect for the day. It also establishes a nice routine, helps you metacognitize before the day, and provides a 'back-up' in case you freeze. It's not uncommon for students to say, "hey..weren't we supposed to go over our quizzes?!" when I've mistakenly moved on.

Harry Wong - okay, so this isn't ICC, but it does talk a lot about effective practices. If you haven't read "The First Days of School," you should. If not, check out this website. It summarizes lots of the main points. I'll mark it up with what I see as the most important points.

I think this is a good way to keep parents informed on what their child is going to be working on. This can help promote interaction between parent and child.
