Common Core Big Idea 5: Consider Meaningful Assessment | Edutopia

I have enjoyed reading about the Common Core, because I work in one of the 4 states that chooses not to work in the confides of Common Core standards. Of all the information I've read, especially from Edutopia, I see many of the same areas of emphasis. We too have been working constantly to improve our assessment and skills to create authentic and effective assessments. I see that with or without Common Core standards, teachers need to emphasize rigor and evaluate the students appropriately.
