The purpose of the Common Core State Standards blog is for teachers and educators to share the strategies, lesson plans, webinars, activities, instructional techniques, professional development, websites, and/or resources they are utilizing to implement the new CCSS.  The challenge for teachers is to develop a rigorous curriculum that ensures every student is mastering standards and have a deep conceptual understanding of skills/concepts.   Hopefully, MCBOE employees will find this method of communicating cool CCSS tips beneficial!
