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

Even if you know all the recipes of the world perfectly, if you don’t know the order, you will fail serving the right meal.
