To implement the Common Core State Standards for Math, math teachers must focus on what math is important and teach it in a coherent manner. Teacher can do this by communicating their curriculum, instruction, and assessment plans through learning progressions, benchmark assessment items, and classroom assessment items. This is just the beginning because to truly impact student learning math teachers must collaborate to make systemic changes. This can be done by communicating a common vision for implementing the CCSSM and then organizing resources to plan and implement the newly aligned curriculum. Also teacher must align their professional learning resources and accountability measures to achieve the communicated vision. Resources for this process is the Dana Center.

Web resources for are valuable for implementing the CCSSM in a focused and coherent manner. The Common Core Converations webpage is a great place to start.

Post a blog about a technology that you plan to use in the upcoming year to implement the CCSSM. Make sure to identify the categories of Assessment of CCSS-Math and Technology Teaching Issues.
