My home state of Oregon has moved forward with Common Core in Social Studies and I have spent most of this past school year 2011/12 unwrapping standards and writing rubrics and assessments. When I'm done I will share all that I can here.

Oregon SS Common Core State Standards

My history department have been looking at the common core and fitting in lessons and activities to meet the standards. It seems more skill driven rather than content driven. I enjoy the reading/writing standards.

Our school has a reading/writing across the curriculum focus, so our administration believes we are already on track toward accomplishing the goals of common core.  Personally, I would like to see much of the speaking element addressed through a related arts course in forensics.

This is an overview of what our school is doing http://prezi.com/lg_2n1tiwodw/whs-overview/

Our department skills progression chart is tied to the common core...but it really doesn't look much different from what we were already doing.
