The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium is committed to supporting member states and territories as they implement the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Working with educators, Smarter Balanced will identify high-quality curriculum resources aligned to the CCSS and professional development strategies that can be replicated across states. The tools and resources will be posted online and incorporated into the digital library — an on-demand resource to help teachers address learning challenges and differentiate instruction — as part of the assessment system.

A new study says most states have not aligned their math high school graduation requirements or course of study with the Common Core Standards.

Government issues - I chose this resource because it addresses the issue that most schools had and may still be having in regards to their current curriculum and how it may not align with common core regulations. Although I am sure we are meeting requirements, I would still like to share this with administration to ensure that our math curriculum follows common core.

"The standards provide a road map of where students ought to be in math and English as they move from kindergarten through 12th grade, and one goal is to promote critical thinking as opposed to rote memorization."

Students benefit from real-world applications of their academic learning while they are still in school, with a research-based approach called service learning.
Allison Hylton's curator insight,

Anyone skeptical about incorporating service learning into the classroom because of the “constraints” of the CCSS would should read this article. In this web article, authors Cathryn Berger Kaye and Maureen Connolly write about the intersection of the Common Core State Standards and service learning. The article uses the CCSS outline of the seven “Capacities for the Literate Individual” to explain how service learning and engagement helps students to reach these seven targeted skills and behaviors. To do this they break down service learning into five stages and work to explain what elements of growth and learning take place within these stages. The article concludes with a brief explanation of why service learning matters, which in their opinion is to bring the CCSS “to life.”

This article brings me new insight on the difference between college development and career skills. College provides the qualifications to learn certain career skill sets, however some occupations have entry level jobs that train such skills on the spot. This essentially poses an interesting clash between needing to build career experience vs. college degree achievement.
