Collaboration - Integral in Common Core Assessment | Andrew K. Miller - 0 views

  •  
    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.
