Description

It seems we’re always changing things in education, from switching out labels (goodbye, non-fiction!), to the benchmarks we expect students to meet. You probably have questions about Common Core State Standards, and you almost certainly know parents who have questions (and opinions) about them! Get a firm grasp on CCSS so you can be equipped to understand, explain, and get the most out of them.

In this course you will learn:

  • Common Core State Standards 101
  • What is and isn’t part of CCSS
  • Reasons for the new standards
  • How to apply CCSS to your classroom
  • Using CCSS anchors to help you differentiate

  1. Claudia – BELTON ISD (verified owner) –

    Great presenter! It just wasn’t what I was expecting by the title. We do not have common core standards in Texas; however, this would be very beneficial for the states that do.

  2. juan – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    – It explains very well the way to improve academic literacy for college and career readiness.

  3. Dennis – STOCKDALE ISD (verified owner) –

    I thought there was extremely useful information, however felt the course was a little lengthy and would really drag at times.

  4. Cynthia – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    It was informative, but my state uses TEKS in the classroom.

  5. Charles – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    Great course

  6. Alba – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
