As an ELA teacher, I am always on the look out for resources to make understanding the Common Core Standards easier.
Lauren Tarshis, an editor with Scholastic Storyworks, has created a cheat sheet with 10 Things to Know About Common Core Standards for ELA. This helpful guide outlines the ways that she thinks the Standards will impact students and teachers. You might also want to check out information about the Depth of Knowledge framework for developing assessments which is mentioned in the document.
How have you made changes in your instruction that reflect these “10 Things?”
Great resources – I look forward to sharing them with other teachers! I work hard to align the Common Core standards to the lessons I do with iPads in the classroom – check out my blog to see some of my ideas: ClassTechTips.com
Do you have a reference for Mathematics?
Good morning Dina,
Thanks for your question. Here are two documents that you might find useful as you consider changes in instruction or changes in emphasis in the Common Core math documents.

I hope these are helpful to you!
