    Solid database of math sample CCSS performance tasks for grades 2-8. Teachers need more of these in their classrooms. This is a great place to get ideas.

    Really interesting look at how one school is making CCSS work with PBL. I look forward to reading more about this school and about others working on the same type of things.

    One of my beliefs about the CCSS is that teachers of ELA are going to have to look to more non-traditional sources for texts. Magazines, videos, and newspapers can play a great role in the teaching of informational text.

    This piece from Thomas Newkirk definitely fits into the category of "Common Sense for the Common Core." It lays out several concerns with the CCSS in a logical fashion. Whether you're a CCSS supporter or feel the standards are ripe with imperfections (or somewhere in between), this is a good read.

    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.

    Everything I share for this "Common Sense" roundup is, in my opinion, great stuff. But here's a post that, if you're an ELA teacher or educational leader, you've got to read. Great, great, great stuff here. Honestly. While there may be several reasons to object to common standards, this post dispels some of the least accurate "legends."
