Wiggins' & McTighe's White Paper on the Common Core State Standards

Type:

Description:

In the introduction to their white paper entitled "From Common Core Standards to Curriculum: Five Big Ideas," Jay McTighe and Grant Wiggins state that they "explore five big ideas about the Common Core State Standards and their translation into a curriculum. As with most big ideas, these Standards are in some ways obvious but may also be counter-intuitive and prone to misunderstanding. We highlight potential misconceptions in working with the Standards, and offer recommendations for designing a coherent curriculum and assessment system for realizing their promise."
