This is a new project. . . a sandbox at the moment. . . a mere skeleton (Just had to mix the metaphors). The writing is on the wall for the Common Core State Standards to be the de facto national education standards. So to get ahead of the curve, this space has been created to index resources to the new standards in anticipation of the changes coming down.

Standards will be listed for each of categories on the left. . . and resource pages will be accessed by drilling down. If you look at writing 1 and 2, you'll see what I have in mind. The resources can also be searched using the hand-dandy search field at the top of the sidebar.

Mentors. . . anyone interested in partnering on this as a team project?
