The Common Core: The Technocrats Re-engineer Learning - Living in Dialogue - Education ... - 0 views

  •  
    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 Interview: Will the Common Core Benefit Children? - Living in Dialogue - Edu... - 0 views

  •  
    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.

    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?

Hawaii Standards Database :: Common Core State Standards - 0 views

  •  
    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.

New Guide on Development of Assessments for the Common Core State Standards | Alliance ... - 0 views

  •  
    These are the sorts of things teachers need to really get moving on CCSS implementation. Without an idea of what the assessments will look like, it's challenging to shift your teaching. Hopefully we'll see more things like this come out of the assessment consortia.
