I tagged this site because I think it helps teachers to save time. When the CCSS first rolled out, my district spent a lot of time reinventing the wheel. Much the the AASL Crosswalk, I think teachers would find this tool useful. I would first introduce this source to them in a quick over-view. I would then sit in small groups or one on one and help teachers realign their standards to the new the CC.

With CCSS coming down the pike, I think that any source that can help educators integrate these new standards is worth checking out. If I were to introduce this source to educators, I would give it a quick introduction. I think that sources like this deserve time to be picked through. If this was not an option, I would possibly give teachers an already made lesson and ask them to assign CCSS to the lesson. Thoughts?

This is a link to preview the revision draft of ISTE Student Standards..I have already completed a survey!

OER nutrition unit developed by Baylor College of Medicine. Great lesson plans with objectives, standards, and activities all laid out. Upper elementary teachers teaching nutrition unit or a middle school health class would find this source very useful.

OER resource with videos, articles, and more. Searchable by standards, subjects, and grade levels. I also like how I can curate a collection of information to share a folder with a group or class.

I did a search in OER Commons and found a blended lesson that could become part of the lesson we are doing for this class. The search options by grade, subjects, and standards are very helpful. I had no idea this existed. It seems very versatile and links well with Google Classroom. It also provides support materials, teaching guides, and a thorough list of standards.

This unit shows instructional approaches that are likely to help ELLs meet new standards in English Language Arts. Built around a set of famous persuasive speeches, the unit supports students in reading a range of complex texts. It invites them to write and speak in a variety of ways and for different audiences and purposes.

Professional development, technology how-tos, and resources for students categorized by subject, grade level, and standard.

Graphite reviews apps, games, and websites that for their educational usefulness. A consistent review template makes the reviews easy to browse and compare. Each tech tool is reviewed by Graphite, and most also show scores from teacher reviews as well. The reviews are focused and have sufficient detail to be helpful. Potential issues for educational use (such as age limits) are noted. Use the filters on the "Reviews and Ratings" tab to find apps right for your school, or use the "Top Picks" area to compare tools for similar purposes (making videos, or formative assessments, for example). There is a Common Core Explorer that will suggest tools that fit each standard, and there is also a Teacher Center that includes lesson plans made to take advantage of the tools.

This is a great lesson to use with elementary students to analyze text and meet Common Core standards. I liked that this lesson also uses Amelia Bedelia because you can then also discuss language and meaning and how her chores are always funny since she is literally doing what she hears.

This is 2014's list. Check out previous years linked from this page too.

To help states, districts, teachers, and other users determine the degree of alignment of OER to the Common Core State Standards, and to determine aspects of quality of OER, Achieve has developed eight rubrics in collaboration with leaders from the OER community. To allow users to apply these rubrics and evaluate the quality of instructional resources, Achieve partnered with OER Commons to develop an online evaluation tool.
