It is a document from the collection at the Community for Advancing Discovery Research in Education, describing a two-year (2012–2014) exploratory project in which...
Relationships and convergences among the mathematics, science, and ELA practices
A product of the Stanford University Understanding Language initiative, this Venn diagram is a tool that effectively illustrates the overlap and grouping of student practices (and student capacities) from four sets of seminal documents: the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in English language...
