New MISIC Website:
-Be sure to sign up for email updates on Common Core resources, updates to Curriculum Manager, and training webinars. -Working on putting together bookmark sheets that completely explan new ICC standards, the essential skills they cover, question stems, vocabulary with Spanish cognates. When finished for each grade level for literacy and math, I will let you know. They will be on the website. Some are accessible now click here, but don't have the Iowa specific language. Scroll down the page to "ELA Bookmarks" -Iowa Core/Common Core tab on the right hand menu has link to smarter balanced assessment page from our October 8th pd. Also has links to some of the websites from the October 8th pd when you click on "Undertanding Literacy" or "Understanding Math" from the drop down menu. -Check out the MAP resources tab on the right hand menu. It has Des Carte skills and other useful information.

Curriculum Manager:
-All the new Iowa Common Core standards have replaced the old Core standards on your curriculum manager pages. -From now on when adding new units or standards, choose the "ICC Literacy" or the "ICC Math" topics. The old ones will go away before the end of the month.
