Description

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. Cynthia – FT SAM HOUSTON ISD (verified owner) –

    Good presenter, just wasn’t as relative to me because Texas doesn’t use the Common Cores. Loved the last section as a previous reading teacher.

  2. Laura – SAN BENITO CISD (verified owner) –

    interesting information

  3. Rafael – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    The course is very interesting and informative.

  4. Sylvia – RIVIERA ISD (verified owner) –

    Very eye opening information.

  5. Alyssa – LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE CISD (verified owner) –

    This course gives great insight into a system that is often seen with the wrong lens or at least an incomplete picture. Many good resources that I am excited to utilize in my classroom. Particularly excited about the Newsela.com resource to tailor content to different level learners.

  6. Francisco – EDINBURG CISD (verified owner) –

    I learned a lot about topics like text content.

  7. Jose – EDINBURG CISD (verified owner) –

    was informative

  8. Jerry – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    Great Course. Very Informative.

  9. Amanda – SOUTHWEST ISD (verified owner) –

    I really liked the presenter and I think that she did a wonderful job, but the title of this course is completely misleading. This had nothing to do with College and Career Readiness. It was all about Common Core. I teach in Texas and we do not use this.

  10. Judy – PORT NECHES-GROVES ISD (verified owner) –

    Excellent information. I feel like it mores more about Common Core and less about College and Career Readiness – although they go hand-in-hand.
