    While this isn't technically a post about the Common Core, in it Bill Ferriter does raise some excellent questions about curriculum that I think educators need to think about as they make the CCSS transition.

Item and Task Prototypes | PARCC - 0 views

  •  
    If you live in a PARCC state, that organization is in the process of releasing item and task "prototypes." This is what educators have been waiting for. Is this what the tests will really end up looking like???

    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.

Education's biggest design flaw - The Answer Sheet - The Washington Post - 0 views

  •  
    I am, you could say, a Common Core advocate. I'm in favor of the standards...but the reason I'm in favor of them is because I see them as an opportunity to shift the way we teach. There are, however, other things to consider, so I like to make sure I read as much as I can about the opposing point of view, that the standards are NOT a good idea. This article certainly makes a compelling case and is worth the read.
