Common Core Resources

In today's eSchool News I found an article that would have made ex-highlands science teacher Mike Zeman overjoyed.  It is a top 15 list (his favorite genre of on-line posts) of great common core resources.  It is a list complied from Twitter and contains three that I thought looked particularly interesting:

1. 6 Sources for Primary Source Documents - With its focus on informational reading, primary sources have increased their relevance beyond the social studies and science classrooms. Find some great ones at these sites.
2. New Common Core Resources for Educators - an eSchool News article that talks about Activate Instruction, an open platform where teachers can browse, search, submit, and rate common core aligned lessons.
3. Common Core Month with the Teaching Channel - A Youtube channel that will focus the whole month of September on the Common Core.

Spend some time and at least check out the 3 I highlighted.  If you think they were worth your time, pass them on and check out the other 12.
