Leaving a Legacy

Every child deserves a champion...an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best they can possibly be.

ETA (11.13.13):
And now as you browse the blog the Common Core State Standards are easily accessible. Look to the right of the right sidebar for the gray "Common Core App" tab. Click on the gray tab to open and close the Mastery Connect app. If you are browsing from a tablet, you will be prompted to download the app for viewing. Caution: This app is absolutely amazing; however, the side notes included in the original document are not included in this application. (For example, Algebra 1 teachers could read HSF-IF.C.7b and think they have a lot of functions to add to their curriculum when really several listed functions are reserved for Algebra 2.)
