Adapting to the Common Core

Teachers reflect on key shifts they've made when adapting to the CCSS.

High School literature teachers David Olio and Barbara Laurain reflect on the key shifts they've made when adapting to the Common Core State Standards. They discuss how the Core has caused them to move beyond asking basic who/what/where/when/why questions, how they plan with the end product in mind, and how they use scaffolding to help students meet the demands of the Core.
