    From the article, which highlights the divisive turn conversations about the Core have taken: "The debate over the Common Core is now caught up in a larger fight about the merits of education reform writ large. In this increasingly toxic environment, Common Core has become one more conspiracy to uncover, one more grand scheme for the fringe on the right and left to fight against."

    This post is a terrific example of why I support the Common Core Standards. Collaboration is, without a doubt, a 21st century skill that is critical for us to make sure we're including in K-12 education. The fact that it is woven into the Common Core is HUGE! If you are not following @betamiller (or @edutopia, where he also blogs) on twitter, you should be.

    Let's bring parents into the conversation about Common Core earlier rather than later. This post serves as a great outline and is written in parent-friendly language.

    Core Math Tools is a downloadable suite of interactive software tools for algebra and functions, geometry and trigonometry, and statistics and probability. The tools are appropriate for use with any high school mathematics curriculum and compatible with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics in terms of content and mathematical practices. Java required.

    Dr. Yong Zhao doesn't like the Common Core standards. And in this interview he explains why. I've said it many times, what we need is some serious critical thinking and dialogue about the Core where ALL voices are listened to--voices from both sides of the argument. So even though I'm optimistic about the CCSS, I still enjoy reading articles like this one. I like bacon, too.

    We've always maintained that it's important to become informed about both sides of the CCSS debate. However, more often than not, it's the work of CCSS critics that gets the most attention. Still believe we need to think about all sides, but definitely need more published by educators who feel the Common Core may be a good thing...like this post.

    The group of states with high-quality CCSS resource collections continues to grow. Came across this site from Hawaii this week and it looks good. I still wish that there was a common resource site for all states (it only make sense with the "common" core, right?) but right now, there isn't. I also wish every state was offering as much as states like Hawaii, Kansas, North Carolina, and others.

    Mastery Connect is a network where teachers can share formative assessments that are tied to common core standards. You get all that for free. The premium version is definitely intriguing, because it allows you to track student mastery of standards in a very easy way. Oh and their common core app is pretty sweet, too.

    This is the kind of thinking that is going to have to take place as we look at the role of technology in the Common Core standards. I guess that I had always thought of Webquests as very "scavenger hunt-like," but this article proposes the opposite...arguing that they can be used to foster critical thinking, analysis, and synthesis skills.

    This is a site to watch. They are releasing a series of three papers this spring and they may very well help inform teachers how to create core-aligned, student-centered classrooms. If this is where the Common Core leads us...that's a good thing.
