Common Core Technology Institute

CSS Communications Toolkit This week State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced the availability of "Explaining Common Core to Californians: A Communications Toolkit." The development of this resource was a collaborative effort involving the CDE, SBE, Californians Dedicated to Education, California County Superintendents Educational Services Association, California State PTA®, California School Boards Association, California Teachers Association, California Federation of Teaches AFT/AFL-CIO, Association of California School Administrators, the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, and the nonprofit organization FrameWorks Institute. The resource is a collection of research, recommendations, and sample communications designed to help educators increase their own and the public's understanding of the kinds of instruction, testing, and support needed to fulfill the potential of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).

The most comprehensive site of curated Common Core links. Off the charts. For teachers and parents.

The most spectacular resource for rigorous curriculum models, K-12. Includes video instruction on how to deliver complex content.

Extra extra ordinary high school digital teacher. Lots and lots of resources.

"Common Core State Standards (CCSS) include basic technology skills to help students succeed; but located throughout the standards is an understanding for students to use technology to help them learn in all areas. Whether it is using tools to solve math problems, to access information, or to promote literacy and communication skills; technology is part of the learning solution.  Technology is an integral part in supporting these Standards. The Common Core Technology Institute will be broken into two separate days."
