Common Core Activity

I thought the activity of the Feb. 7th class was interesting. We were able to see what is required of each grade level as we traced the  development of one element within the Key Ideas and Details  from kindergarten through the twelvth grade. This allowed everyone to see exactly what is required in every other grade level and how the Common Core builds from year to year on previously learned skills as it spirals to the top. It also shows how the focus is going to be more on depth of knowledge. Performance tasks are going to require much more rigor.
