Common Core Resources from CCSSO

Had a great introductory call with the Council of Chief State School Officers and their team focused on helping states implement Common Core State Standards. They are very excited about our work with the PARCC Educator Leader Cadre and we learned a great deal about the resources that they have to offer! Just for your weekend enjoyment! (PS: big news coming soon about our PARCC ELC resources for all)
