<p>One of my main concerns, is whether or not we actually had any type of 'training' implementing our previous NYS standards, or perhaps, training for the 'New Compact for Learning'--circa 1990ish? I suppose we did not have adequate training, and therefore, 'Common Core' and all of the 'tools' now surfacing will make us a master of our game? I mean a 'Common Core Black Belt'!!!</p>

<p>Strong teacher planning and implementation will be the backbone for any items we decide to purchase.…</p>

<p>Strong teacher planning and implementation will be the backbone for any items we decide to purchase. My recommendation is to actually read the documents and understand what common core is asking us to do as instructors. It is my understanding that to earn a 'black belt' in anything can take years. If so, then why are we expected to be 'black belts' in less than ten months?</p>
