"The Smarter Balanced Assessment System has three components: summative assessments, designed for accountability purposes; interim assessments, designed to support teaching and learning throughout the year; and formative assessment processes, supported by professional learning and instructional resources located in the Digital Library. The Smarter Balanced Assessment Graphic (PDF) displays the relationship between these components, the Common Core State Standards, and college and career readiness. The formative assessment process is key to a balanced assessment system. The Digital Library is an online collection of resources aligned to the Common Core State Standards that support K–12 teachers in their use of formative assessment processes to adjust teaching to improve student learning. The Smarter Balanced Digital Library supports educators with the four attributes of formative assessment: (1) Clarify Intended Learning; (2) Elicit Evidence; (3) Interpret Evidence; and (4) Act on Evidence. The Digital Library provides subject- and grade-specific resources intended to help educators apply the formative assessment process during daily instruction. In addition, the Digital Library has collaboration features that allow users to rate materials and share their expertise with educators across the country. Pursuant to California Education Code Section 60642.6, the Digital Library is available to local educational agencies (LEAs) for use in K–12. The LEA CAASPP Coordinator is responsible for registering new users into the library through the Administration and Registration Tool (ART). A Tip Sheet (DOC) is available to assist with the registration process. Should there be further questions or assistance needed with this process, LEA CAASPP Coordinators should contact the Digital Library Help Desk at 1-855-631-1510 or caltac@ets.org."

Committed to providing leadership, assistance, and resources so that every student has access to an education that meets world-class standards, the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), the California Department of Education (CDE) and the San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) proudly announce the Common Core Translation Project. Standards-based instruction is at the forefront of education reform because it presents a framework to ensure that all students are exposed to rigorous content and prepared to contribute positively to an increasingly complex world. As we prepare to build capacity to implement the new California Common Core Standards (CCCS) stakeholders have identified the need for the translation and linguistic augmentation of the California Common Core ELA/Literacy Standards and Math Standards to Spanish. This translated and linguistically augmented version of the CCSS is important because it establishes a guide for equitable assessment and curriculum development.

"Edcite is focused on providing teachers an easy way to create Common Core assignments that fit their class. We support Smarter Balanced and PARCC question-types, including ELA passage highlighting, dynamic Math graphs and image labeling. Teachers can easily share assignments in the Edcite Library; where other teachers can discover & tailor these to fit their own classes. Teachers save time not only in assignment creation but also in reviewing student responses using our automated grading and feedback features. Edcite also addresses a critical issue for students who are unfamiliar with online standardized assessments that are required as most states and school districts begin to move towards the Common Core standards soon. This lack of familiarity limits students' ability to adequately demonstrate their learning and can affect their progress through the K12 system. At Edcite, students can use our Library of teacher-created assignments to get unlimited practice on relevant assignments; and they can get immediate feedback on their performance with suggestions for improvement when needed."

"This series of videos provides brief instructional examples for supporting students who need intensive instruction in the area of place value computation. Within college- and career-ready standards place value is taught in K through Grade 5. These videos may be used as each concept is introduced, or with students in higher grade levels who continue to struggle with the concepts. Special education teachers, math interventionists, and others working with struggling students may find these videos helpful.
View the Place Value Computation Guide to find related instructional information, activities, worksheets and supplemental materials and review the Mathematics: Sample Lessons and Activities to find additional math guides and view additional Mathematics Instructional Videos."

"EQuIP (Educators Evaluating the Quality of Instructional Products)is an initiative of the American Diploma Project (ADP) Network designed to identify high-quality materials aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
* Increase the supply of high quality lessons and units aligned to the CSSS that are available to elementary, middle, and high school teachers as soon as possible; and EQuIP builds on a collaborative effort of education leaders from Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island that Achieve facilitated. The outcome of that effort was the development of the “Tri-State Rubrics” and a quality review process designed to determine the quality and alignment of instructional lessons and units to the CCSS."

"To help education leaders ensure that all students receive equitable access to excellent educators, the U.S. Department of Education announced the Excellent Educators for All Initiative, which requires each state, alongside stakeholders, to create a State Plan to Ensure Equitable Access to Excellent Educators.
Designed expressly to support states in this effort, our Equitable Access Toolkit includes resources and materials to guide state leaders through the most critical aspects of developing these plans—stakeholder engagement, root-cause analysis, and data review. We have also created a sample equity plan template and a Sample State Plan to Ensure Equitable Access to Excellent Educators to assist with this process."

"This is a guest post, written by John R. Walkup, Ph.D., President, The Standards Company & Ben S. Jones, MS, President, Learnerati. You can follow them on Twitter: @jwalkup and @learnerati In 2009, we coauthored with Karin Hess and Dennis Carlock an article that introduced the concept of Cognitive Rigor, which interlaces Webb’s Depth of Knowledge and the Cognitive Processes Domain of Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy.[1] However, many still confuse the two with regard to rigor. To briefly clarify the distinction, Depth of Knowledge categorizes the cognitive complexity of an activity, as evidenced by the amount of planning, discussing, fact-checking, and researching employed to accumulate the knowledge needed to complete the activity. In essence, it looks at the structure and complexity required to work with the activity. Bloom’s Taxonomy, on the other hand, is more neurological; it describes the types of thinking needed to interact with information during an activity. Therefore, it looks more closely at the cognitive demand at the moment for a particular type of information processing.
In short, Bloom’s Taxonomy describes a neurological event; Depth of Knowledge describes a broader cognitive process."...

"Common Core Standards ask students to construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others in math; ask and answer questions about key details in a text; and participate in collaborative conversations about topics and texts. Students are expected to explain their thinking and build on others’ talk in conversation.
But what if your students don’t speak English?"

This article is very interesting because it clearly explains some tips that we have to take into account in order to help children to achieve EL. It explains that students learn better in a classroom that has "Low-affective filter" some ways to get the affective filter lower are: Get to know students and families Build positive rapport, establishing a relationship with each student Celebrate diversity, using literature, photos, and examples reflecting students’ ethnicity Avoid overemphasizing language mistakes and praise attempts Promote collaboration and mutual respect. In the EFL classroom, it is also important to give students enough time to think about their answers, give students opportunities to talk while they are doing other activities; it is also important to show authentic material to the students.
