This ASCD article is a lengthy read, but one that's worthwhile. It really gets into the nuts and bolts of the shifts that are going to be required of ELA teachers. There are some big things that are going to change under the Core. This not only details them, but offers suggestions and insight into how to make them happen in your own classroom.

Very helpful video from the Teacher Channel. 14 minutes in length, it would be great to show this to middle school math teachers to help them understand the changes expected of them under the CCSS.

Is this a good thing? Not sure. I do know that this article is a thought provoking look at the depth and complexity that could be a part of CCSS implementation. Definitely worth a read.

So wary of publishers that claim to be "aligned" to the CCSS. How is that possible when we don't know what the assessments look like?

While I don't agree with all the points Anthony Cody makes in this article, I do think that it is important to learn about criticisms that some people have. With an issue as huge as the CCSS, we should all draw our own informed conclusions by learning about both sides of the story.

Alfie Kohn is a thought leader that I really respect. His opinions always seem to resonate with me. I'm curious to dig into this interview to find out what he thinks about the CCSS. He certainly has some criticisms of national standards that are worthy of consideration.

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.
