We hosted a very informative professional development talk with Catlin Tucker. She did an excellent job covering a lot of resources and ideas to help teachers transition to the new CCSS. My personal favorite was her paperless classroom using GoogleDocs during class time to facilitate the overlap of instruction, student writing, teacher feedback and grading SIMULTANEOUSLY!
