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.

From the School Improvement Network...A collection of their 5 best resources for CCSS information

The International Reading Association's Common Core resource center.

Great collection of resources here. Great starting point for exploration but also has good stuff if you're looking to dig deeper.

This is one of the best collections of resources I've seen. All the best Common Core sites, all in one place. Thank you, ASCD!

Twitter can be a great resource for educators working on the Common Core. This article reviews a recent #teaching2030 chat (an awesome chat to follow). The topic was the CCSS. Using social media to connect and collaborate as we move forward toward full implementation is a great idea. Please follow and use the #CCchat hashtag for even more Common Core resources.

Great collection of resources from Getting Smart.

The folks at ASCD can always be counted on for great resources. This is definitely true when it comes to the Common Core. You'll definitely want to bookmark & explore this site during the summer.

Worth exploring. Has great "flip books" and other resources for math teachers. 

A 15 part video series that is worth the look. An example of how sharing resources and working together is something that can benefit us all as we move to common standards.

This document is definitely worth exploring. the Council of Chief State School Officers has created this list of resources to aid states in implementation efforts. Among the categories included are mathematics, ELA, implementation, and information for parents.

Feeling underprepared for the transition to the Common Core standards? You are not alone. This article shares the stories of some teachers who are worried, to say the least. It also gives an excellent overview of (and links to) some of the resources that different states have created. It also includes a description of how some of the lead writers of the standards are expanding their roles to help schools transition. Overall, this is one of the most thorough articles I've found about the CCSS. If you feel underprepared or under-informed, it's a must-read.

This site, launched recently by ASCD, is one you've got to spend some time exploring. As you would expect from an ASCD production, it's incredibly well-designed and contains a wealth of useful resources and tools.

This site has resources arranged by standard. Looks like a potential gold mine! 

This site, from the Elk Grove (CA) Unified School District, looks like an exemplary resource. Also demonstrates what I think national standards should be all about--sharing, collaborating, and publicly displaying our work. This site is worth a look.

I haven't explored this a great deal. But from what I can tell is that they've collected resources, games, and hands on activities. Also looks like printables are available, too.

Yet another collection of high quality, well organized resources from a state department of education. This math toolbox is not to be missed, whether you live in Twin Falls or beyond! (That's in Idaho.)

Collection of resources on asking questions from Burkins & Yaris. Their advice is always practical and insightful.

The Missouri Department of Education has put together a very useful site that compiles information and resources regarding the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium. Includes newsletters, sample items, and more, all in one place.

You don't see a lot of CCSS resources for principals. This is probably something that needs to change. Check out this webinar from @All4Ed
