“The learning expectations of the Common Core are extremely rigorous for both students and educators. Successful implementation will require a collective effort, as simply providing teachers with a copy of the curriculum or aligned textbooks will hardly build the depth of understanding and commitment necessary to transform the Common Core into daily learning targets for students. Utilizing the Professional Learning Communities at Work™ model, the authors masterfully provide the knowledge and practical tools needed to successfully unpack, define, teach, assess, and ensure student mastery of these essential 21st century skills. Any district, school, or teacher team implementing the Common Core needs this book!” —Mike Mattos,
