Pathways to the Common Core: Accelerating Achievement

That is the title of the book I am zooming through, and I am so glad I picked it up. I thought I had an idea of what Common Core was all about, but this book is really putting me in my place! Calkins, Ehrenworth, and Lehman are showing a true insight into what it will take to turn schools, teachers, and most importantly, students on the path of achievement through the CCSS. What I am glad about is that my background as a GATE teacher will really prove to be helpful as we make this important transition. I highly suggest reading this book if you are a teacher or school leader looking into implementing Common Core into your schools. Over my next few posts, I will break down some of Calkins, Ehrenworth, and Lehman's main points, so we can get a foothold and find a way to set a path down this exciting journey! Stay tuned!
