Model Curriculum: Mathematics (K-12) - 3 views

  •  
    This is the NJ DOE's model curriculum site. If you need course overviews that put the Common Core standards into units of study, this site can really help. A point to the DOE for a quality product! One of the best features is the sample assessment (and answer key) for each unit. They are username/password protected. You may use "model" for the username and "curriculum" for the password.

PARCC Website: PLDs - 3 views

  •  
    While this site is not the easiest to navigate, it has a wealth of information. Keep an eye out for the PLDs (Performance Level Descriptors) for each grade level (3-8). These will help guide your instruction as you move your students toward PARCC success. Use this link to get to the PLDs: scroll down and click math or language arts to see the grade level links you want. If you want to print the PLDs for a grade level, make sure you've got the paper tray full in your printer--some of them are over 30 pages long.
