Common Core is the “What” ...Project Based Learning is the “How”
Engage in a rigorous process of inquiry focused on complex, authentic questions and problems
Work as independently from the teacher as possible, and have some degree of “voice and choice”
Demonstrate in-depth understanding of academic knowledge and skills
Apply and practice 21st century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication
Create products which are presented to a public audience
Tell Me
“I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.”
7 Essentials for Project-Based Learning

The Main Course, Not Dessert
“In a typical unit on instruction containing a project […] the teacher covers the main course of study in the usual way, and then a short ‘project’ is served up for dessert. In […] Project Based Learning it is the project that is the main course—it contains and frames the curriculum and instruction”

CCSS Update
Special Edition: Online Professional Learning Communities
The implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) provides multiple opportunities for educators to engage in professional learning experiences with their colleagues across California and in other states implementing the CCSS. The online educator communities featured below provide a wealth of classroom implementation resources as well as a chance to participate in professional conversations with the larger CCSS implementation community. Register now to benefit from and enrich these California-based and national efforts.
CCSS on Brokers of Expertise Brokers of Expertise (BOE) now includes a community group for the CCSS. Here you will find educator resources for implementing the CCSS and an opportunity to participate in an interactive environment where participants may comment on or “favorite” resources. If you are not a BOE member, please sign up and join this vibrant community of California educators.
Edmodo Basal Alignment Project and Community The Basal Alignment Project (BAP) builds district capacity to better align existing materials to the English Language Arts and Literacy CCSS while new CCSS-aligned materials are developed and published. School districts, publishers, education organizations and others can link to the site or download and adapt materials for us in the classroom. On this site you can learn more about the BAP and how to access these resources.
The Illustrative Mathematics Project The project aims to illustrate each of the standards using high quality reviewed tasks from teacher leaders. The site provides guidance to all stakeholders implementing the CCSS by illustrating the range and types of mathematical work that students will experience and other implementation tools, and hosts a community of registered users who develop and evaluate math tasks that illustrate the CCSS. Contributors and advisors to the project include CCSS authors William McCallum, Jason Zimba, and Phil Daro.
Share My Lesson Developed by teachers for teachers, this site offers a free platform that gives access to teaching resources and tools and provides an online community for teacher collaboration. The site has a significant collection of CCSS-related resources, covering all the aspects of the standards. Share My Lesson was developed by the American Federation of Teachers and TES Connect.
