Using Common Core Standards to Enhance Classroom Instruction & Assessment

"The Common Core State Standards could lead to a transformation in teaching and learning across the United States if teachers are prepared to teach in ways the standards expect. Teachers need support, and here come Dr. Marzano and his colleagues. By showing teachers concrete ways to use the standards in classrooms, and, most importantly, providing them with a concrete tool for measuring student progress against the standards, Bob and his colleagues can help make that transformation a reality." -- Robert Rothman "Senior Fellow, Alliance for Excellent Education, Washington DC"
