** HERE'S A VIDEO EXPLAINING THE **** PROCESS TO REVIEW THE COMMON CORE STANDARDS IF YOU GET STUCK: ** media type="youtube" key="400K9c828As" height="315" width="420" video from the [|DigiGogy Blog] with these additional notes: "Because this is a quick overview, I neglected to mention that the standards were about student learning, rather than teaching. (Though I do want teachers to see what is represented in their current practice...) When I talk about what "I" might do in my class, it's meant to be around a frame of instructional practice and through a student learning lens. (Thanks to the wife for pointing this out!) --Also, I've blogged about this process in general before, and the original idea for this came from Sue Rothwell at Erie 1 BOCES in West Seneca, New York. (The blog post is called the Cure for the Common Core.) My version is a derivative of Sue's version. Also, she's a superstar educator. #justsayin' "
