These are the "illustrated standards" created by Illustrative Mathematics for the K-8 CCSS. It's a work in progress, so eventually they will have them all included. But it's still really good. Really, really good.

This is a fascinating interactive map of "Learning Trajectories" for K-8 math that appears to have been developed by NC State University.Definitely worth taking time to explore.

On this page you'll find detailed documents the U of A is calling "progressions." They lay out how the CCSS move from one year to the next in mathematics. They appear to be a goldmine. Very excited to explore these.

Non-fiction texts...you aren't the only one who has trouble finding them. That's why blog posts like this are great. A terrific list of non-fiction (including graphic novels) is contained within. (It's past the midway point of the post)

Key point here: CCSS is about HOW we teach more so than WHAT we teach. This post about mathematics is a must read if you teach in that subject area.

Grant Wiggins is able to express so many topics in a way that makes total sense. Here he writes about the idea of national standards and how they still are too "one-size-fits-all" for his tastes. I would definitely agree.

A great post that isn't just for teacher librarians. Instead it's for educators anywhere charged with selecting texts to put in front of students. (Especially educators in our situation...working at schools without librarians.)
Zhao on Entrepreneurship, the Common Core, and Bacon - BookMarks - Education Week - 0 views

Dr. Yong Zhao doesn't like the Common Core standards. And in this interview he explains why. I've said it many times, what we need is some serious critical thinking and dialogue about the Core where ALL voices are listened to--voices from both sides of the argument. So even though I'm optimistic about the CCSS, I still enjoy reading articles like this one. I like bacon, too.

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.

All of these ideas here are tied to the units created by the folks at commoncore.org (which is NOT the official CCSS website...corestandards.org). However, even if you're not using their curriculum, this offers some interesting ideas about how to integrate art in a more in-depth, standards-based manner.
