NJ CCCS Website

While surfing the NJ CCCS website, I found it very easy to identify all of the cumulative progress indicators associated with my curriculum. Being a high school mathematics teacher, I was able to identify every skill my students are supposed to possess by the end of twelfth grade. While this information is useful, I had one major question that the website never answered. How do we teach all of these skills?

Nowhere on the NJ website could I find suggestions on how to implement this state's curriculum. As a teacher, I would find it helpful to have access to resources that will aid in providing the students with a fluid, coherent curriculum that covers all of the topics listed in the CCCS. I think it might be helpful to provide some links that can help teachers with the implementation of lessons that are aligned with the NJ CCCS. Wouldn't this seem logical?

It would. Maybe make that suggestion to the state!

I agree it would be nice to have some sample lessons or ideas to go along with the standards.
