What Excites Me About CCSS,Knowledge, and ReadyGEN
What excites me about the Common Core State Standards is that knowledge is at the core. Acquiring knowledge and the skills to do this independently are the keys to success in our digital-global age.What excites  me about the digital-global age is the increased knowledge about words. Words are the labels for concepts, and concepts are the foundation of knowledge. The digital revolution has resulted in an  increase in the amount of and access to knowledge; this has also increased our knowledge about words.
What excites me about ReadyGEN is that this is the first program to use the rich knowledge about words from the digital-global age to ensure that students attain the vast knowledge about the world that defines the  21st century. The rich, complex texts that are the instructional foundation of this program provide systems for understanding both how words work in complex texts and which of the words in these complex texts  unlock the knowledge of critical content domains.
