Praise for this book

"Written in a style reflecting the very thinking skills they adamantly support, Bellanca, Fogarty, and Pete prompt educators to think critically, creatively, and comprehensively about the complex realities of integrating the Common Core State Standards in each classroom. The practical and clear strategies they detail foster crisp communication and purposeful collaborative efforts to generate mindful and cognitively rigorous learning experiences. Adaptable for any setting, How to Teach Thinking Skills Within the Common Core should be in the library of professionals seeking a schoolwide approach to actualize this exciting national initiative." -- Heidi Hayes Jacobs "President and Founder of Curriculum Designers, Inc.; Executive Director of the Curriculum Mapping Institute"
