No, it's not snowing in Alabama in September, although I am being crushed under the avalanche of research I'm conducting on the Common Core State Standards and PARCC assessments.
I have been out of the classroom for over two years doing technology professional development for teachers. As a result, I'm little behind with the CCSS and PARCC. So, now I am feverishly trying to familiarize myself with the standards, shifts, assessments, and more for an upcoming adventure - more on that later.
