The article Placing Text at the Center of the Standards-Aligned ELA Classroom is a must-read before or after listening to this podcast!
Meredith Liben and Sue Pimentel share the true intentions of the CCSS vs. the way they are currently interpreted. They also provide observations about how the Standards play out in classrooms and schools - within HQIM and what happens in absence of HQIM!
We ask the gals some tough questions:

• What does this mean for assessment, especially "data-driven" instruction?
• What are better ways to assess and track student progress?

They are hilarious and smart, and so very relatable. This one is a MUST listen!
