Making the Common Core Standards Work provides a detailed approach to systems thinking and how to manage a real-life paradigm shift. Having that coached in the context of core standards is somewhat unique and provides an opportunity for enhanced dialogue across grade levels and disciplines in areas of the country where those discussions may not have occurred on their own. -- William Richard Hall, Jr., Principal
Making the Common Core Standards Work looks at the implementation of CCSS within the context of all of the components that face public schools, and, in doing so, put the CCSS in a proper perspective. This is a book that could actually help make a difference in the improvement of instruction in the public schools. -- Martin J. Hudacs, Superintendent
The book is easy to read and offers concrete suggestions without establishing walls that prohibit creative practices. Making the Common Core Standards Work pushes educators to plan, reflect, and revise cooperatively to move from a traditional scripted approach of teaching to one that promotes critical thinking and analysis for all students. -- Charlotte R. Bihm, Instructional Specialist
As a busy superintendent who is very careful with her time, I've been searching for what seemed to be an impossible ... one resource that is full of good, solid research and practical information on CCSS. Manley and Hawkins are practitioner scholars...and they created, in Making the Common Core Standards Work, exactly what I need to intelligently and confidently move my district forward ...thanks! -- Roberta Gerold, Superintendent, Middle Country Schools, Centereach, NY
