School Library Journal article:
All Aboard!: Implementing Common Core offers school librarians an opportunity to take the lead.


Videos from Lucy Calkins and the Teachers College Reading & Writing Project (TCRWP)

40 video clips of Common Core aligned teaching and learning; the videos are organized by major aspects of the Common Core State Standards—Reading Literature, Reading Informational Texts, Opinion/Argument Writing, Informative/Explanatory Writing, and Narrative Writing.  Within each album are clips of teaching which aim to help children reach that aspect of the standards.
