Thank you everyone for an engaging and thought provoking day with the standards and Cognitive Rigor Matrix! Please take a few minutes to reflect on one of the articles or the chapters from the course text. Also, read and comment on the posts of others.
I also wanted to post a link to an excellent article put out by NPR that explores the Common Core. It would be a fantastic read for any of you with lingering questions, as well as a great resource for parents and/or colleagues with questions. Check it out here: http://www.npr.org/blogs/ed/2014/05/27/307755798/the-common-core-faq
Have a great couple of weeks!
