Note: Hafa Adai All! As we move
into our 2nd year of implementation of the Common Core State
Standards in English Language Arts and Math and the Guam Department of Education
Content Standards in all other subjects, please take the time to look through
some of these websites listed below and see if they can help you in your
efforts to “bring the standards to life” in your various classrooms. They have
a wealth of information both about the Common Core Standards and Assessments,
instructional strategies and activities, and specific content areas that could
help you as you work on building your classroom curriculum and units. Enjoy,
