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
