Laura Cipriano, sent this to the CFF Coach listserv: Here's an opportunity for coaches and librarians to work together and create a powerful partnership for supporting and enriching the curriculum: check out http://ow.ly/5HkvW - School Librarians and the Common Core Standards (PA has adopted them!). Though it is a reference designed to show the relevance of CCS to a school library program, this online collection of VALUABLE resources in a LiveBinder by Carolyn Jo Starkey, a librarian from Alabama, may prove to be a helpful tool for all teachers in understanding and unpacking the standards in any of their respective areas. Enjoy! Laura Cipriano
