This statement misses the point of the value of the in-district/school colllegial dialogue and intensive decision making that eventually leads to designing a viable (and truly put-into-practice operational curriculum) both horizontally and vertically. <br /><br />Anything of value costs "time" and time in today's world often has monetary amounts attached to it. <br /><br />My hope is, as you stated and the FAQs allude to, that the CC Curriculum Maps can be used as starting point for teachers to design a curriculum that lives in the 21st century and ask the question, "Who owns the learning?"<br />Janet HaleJanet Hale - Tucson, Arizona, United Stateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15099050097922648203noreply@blogger.com
