Assignment+3+-+Common+Core+Standards

I found a part of ASCD that focuses on Common Core Standards. It has many useful resources including a map showing which states have adopted the standards and to what extent, as well as some external links.

I find the Common Core Standards and any website that provides information about the standards to be helpful and overall related to the cause of the standards. By learning about the standards and embracing them, people can increase their effectiveness as the education system moves closer to being able to efficiently compare educational results from states across the country in order to improve learning. Working in a school which has already adopted the Common Core Standards has only increased my appreciation of them.

Working in a classroom in which each lesson is planned out and based around multiple Common Core Standards has greatly increased my proficiency with them. I truly believe that teaching with the Standards in mind can vastly improve various student skills and foster later success in higher education.
