I'll be presenting at KATM in October. My topic is "Making Common Core Feasible"
Here's the Blurb for the talk:
Be prepared to talk-trash, praise, reflect, and get some participation points in this interactive session where we will look into the drawbacks and strengths of the Common Core standards as well as share resources and strategies for successful implementation. My goal for this session is that you leave hands full of resources, optimistic, and re-inspired about the future of math education.

Quotes I've gathered
"We need to focus on fewer concepts. We need coherence so that we’re teaching for mastery instead of re-teaching year after year." - https://dqam6mam97sh3.cloudfront.net/resources/uploaded_document/resource/11/CCSS_whitepaper.pdf

We don't know what the assessments will look like.
