We are excited to offer you Teacher’s Planning Partner, a tool to help you organize the Common Core State Standards, or CCSS.
The CCSS establishes the framework that prepares our students for college and career, which in turn prepares them to compete in a global society and economy.
Our unique approach to lesson planning allows the teacher to be in charge, taking the rigorous CCSS Standards and making them user-friendly. We will help you organize your ideas – you plug in the creativity – you are in the driver’s seat. We know this planning series will prove to be a useful guide to help you provide a powerful learning experience for your students.
Our unique lesson plan books, Learning Targets, help teachers plan units that will comply with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
We have sample materials for download here:
Grade 1, Unit 2 Expository Writing
Grade 5, Unit 3 Argumentative Writing
Our Learning Targets lesson planning book is designed as a template to help you organize your ideas and plan your units for the school year. It also provides planning space to organize resources, procedures, and assessments.

Letuchy, Sargy. The Visual Edge: Graphic Organizers for Standards-Based Learning. Print.
This resource contains comprehensive graphic organizers that are great visual tools for teaching the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Sometimes the descriptions of the CCSS can be difficult to understand. Letuchy’s descriptions that accompany each graphic organizer are very helpful. Personally, I have found these graphic organizers to be useful formative assessment tools.
