  10. The Heart of the Work “It will be a missed opportunity if the call to align curriculum to the Common Core...leads a school to add this or that to the curriculum…The real work on Common Core reform needs instead to revolve around creating systems of continuous improvement that result in teachers teaching towards clearer and higher expectations and doing this in more transparent, collegial and accountable ways…” Lucy Calkins, Mary Ehrenworth and Christopher Lehman, Pathways to the Common Core: Accelerating Achievement. Heinemann 2012

  11. Assessment as Part of a Learning Cycle
