Summer is a time for lazy days by the pool, catching up on reading, and — oh yeah! — summer planning. Teaching is by far and away the toughest job in the world, and a break is totally necessary. But, in my personal experience, the stress-free summer lifestyle allowed me to dream big and make some of the best changes to my curriculum.
With the upcoming shift to the Common Core and online assessments, we’re here to help our users problem-solve ways to prepare for both of these monumental shifts. In this vein, we compiled a master list of exemplar assignments that can be found in our assignments library. Every teacher, from every grade level and subject can find an online, Common-Core aligned assignment fit for their students. Your students will be able to practice with the Common Core skills while also trying their hand at an online assignment that utilizes the same interactive question types that SmarterBalanced and PAARC both use. So please do enjoy the rest of your summer break. But, if you do take some time to plan, think about where you can incorporate one of these online assignments into your already-awesome plans. And then do us a huge favor — let us know how it goes!
