Melissa & Lori are on vacation this week! We invite you to listen to one of our favorite episodes that we have listened to multiple times ourselves. If you haven't listened to our episode with Meredith Liben & Sue Pimentel - check it out this week! 

The article Placing Text at the Center of the Standards-Aligned ELA Classroom is a must-read before or after listening to this podcast!  

Meredith Liben and Sue Pimentel share the true intentions of the CCSS vs. the way they are currently interpreted. They also provide observations about how the Standards play out in classrooms and schools - within HQIM and what happens in absence of HQIM! 

We ask the gals some tough questions: 

• What does this mean for assessment, especially "data-driven" instruction?
• What are better ways to assess and track student progress? 

They are hilarious and smart, and so very relatable. This one is a MUST listen!
