One of my beliefs about the CCSS is that teachers of ELA are going to have to look to more non-traditional sources for texts. Magazines, videos, and newspapers can play a great role in the teaching of informational text.

This piece from Thomas Newkirk definitely fits into the category of "Common Sense for the Common Core." It lays out several concerns with the CCSS in a logical fashion. Whether you're a CCSS supporter or feel the standards are ripe with imperfections (or somewhere in between), this is a good read.

We've always maintained that it's important to become informed about both sides of the CCSS debate. However, more often than not, it's the work of CCSS critics that gets the most attention. Still believe we need to think about all sides, but definitely need more published by educators who feel the Common Core may be a good thing...like this post.
