Are you
inundated with all the material and resources out there and don’t know where to
begin looking? Last year, when my school district began to implement its first
full year of Common Core, I found myself shifting through hundreds of websites
and educational literature, searching for the most useful planners, templates,
and guides to help my guide curriculum planning. It was through this research
that I complied and created the documentation in my Common Core group at the
NEA Professional Practice Communities.
I have
uploaded over 30 documents in the “Group Files” section that will help begin
the planning and guide you through the process of developing your own CCSS
units, lessons, and strategies to not only teach a standards based education,
but prepare rigorous classroom instruction for your students.
The
Professional Practice Communities has many components:
1. Collaborate on professional issues
2. Search
for resources to enhance lessons plans and share ideas
3. Read
educational blogs and up-to-date educational news
4. Share
your opinions through a feature called Today’s Poll
5. Explore
Practical Tools provided by NEA and other partners
6. Join
events of interest that are announced via the Professional Practice
Communities, i.e., webinars, podcasts, etc.
This is
what you will find in my Common Core Group:
Join the NEA
