When Worlds Collide: An AASL and Common Core Mash Up (AASL)

A practical application of the AASL “Planning Guide for Empowering Learners” and Common Core Standards happens in unexpected ways and across great divides as divergent worlds of public/private, urban/suburban, teacher/administrator, AASL/ Common Core Standards collude/collide. National Board Certified school librarian Susannah Tamarkin and Academic Dean Tiffany Della Vedova present ready-to-go adapted planning and evaluation techniques that challenge participants to recognize opportunities in the face of impediments.
