Common Core State Standards

      While we are all aware that Common Core has its deficiencies, it is purposefully very well suited for implementing interdisciplinary units. I believe that combining and connecting different subjects into one unit creates a well rounded and more meaningful learning experience for our students. By showing our students how everything is truly connected we can help them to become critical thinkers and to foster a sense of curiosity and empathy. 

     But there are a lot of Common Core standards and going through the design process of finding standards that work well together can be time consuming. In an effort to help out my fellow teachers striving to create the best experience for their students I have included some helpful resources below.
