This is a terrific post. I really think that if you have concerns about the standards, that's definitely O.K. Your voice needs to be a part of the conversation. What we all will hopefully do is look for the good that lies within, and continue to do what's best for children.

Detailed article about the value of summarizing complex texts. Makes some great points I hadn't considered before and provides excellent tips for teaching summarizing as a skill.

There's a lot of criticism out there about the CCSS. And while it's important to read opinions from all sides, it can be hard to find teachers writing about their positive stance about the new standards. This post, as a result, is refreshing and uplifting. And also, it might shift your thinking a little if you're a member of the anti-CCSS camp.

There are some brilliant Common Core related ideas out there. This is one of them! Tying project based learning and global projects to the CCSS really demonstrates the powerful shifts that the new standards can bring about. This video is worth the watch.

This is written for librarians. But my school doesn't have a library, so I think for teachers in my situation, this offers some great advice about how to approach the shift to non-fiction that the Common Core calls for.

This post from Education Gadfly's Common Core Watch is thought provoking. I know there's a lot of pushback on CCSS due to the move toward an increase in the use of informational text. This post questions those critics. Interesting stuff.
