    Former administrator Ben Johnson writes in this blog that the Common Core State Standards focus on literacy will benefit students' problem solving. Johnson offers a real-life example in which he fixed a broken lawnmower by using what was believed to be useless junk stored in his garage. The junk -- like information stored in the brain -- was necessary to find the solution, or resolve the problem.

    When students create a movie or interactive slide show to tell their story, learning becomes personal. Students can improve their writing, show creativity, and have a voice.

Mrs. King liked it
  • They were were written by public school teachers for public school teachers and are available free of charge to anyone who would like to use them. The maps are flexible and adaptable, yet they address every standard in the CCSS

    Erika: What do you think of the 11th grade maps? Are the six units close to what you have been covering? Do you like the way the maps are designed?

    Donna: This is the first time I looked at these maps. I like the format and the list of SUGGESTED reading. I'm definitely realizing that we would need funding for additional novels that we definitely don't teach now. I'm also concerned about "time".... there is a great deal to cover!

    I don't teach 10th grade...but I just looked at the map and it is entirely different than anything our school has ever addressed...

    And, please know that our district is in the infancy stages of transitioning to the common core standards. Mrs. Groller and the principals have a plan for systematic implementation. So, nothing has been decided "exactly" at this point. Wonderful thing is . . . we are building the first conversations around common core for our district, pulling together a lot of great resources, with annotations thanks to Diigo I might add, and will be the most knowledgeable as we move forward. It's always good to be in that spot! At the end of this week, I'm going to blog about our teAch21 Diigo research project on the common core and share it with the rest of the staff. Keep up the good work everyone. You are learning and doing great things with Diigo!
