CCSS

Common Core Standards are common sense standards.  They take a concept and blow it out to its deepest meaning.  They place the standards being taught in a context that is real world and therefor pertinent.  They are at the heart of good teaching and a centers based environment, where students are given the tools and the concepts they need from which to make meaning.  Without meaning learning is empty.

Centers Based Learning is a perfect match with the four c's of 21st Century classrooms.

Centers based instruction is an excellent tool for increasing student motivation while allowing teachers to melt their content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and their technological knowledge to construct learning that is more accessible to students.

Project Based Learning

Centers based instruction also works well with the "new" concept of learning through projects, known as PBL or Projects Based Learning.
