This is a 15-part series of videos to demonstrate step-by-step 
how to implement the Common Core for ELA/Literacy and Math in 
their schools and classrooms. The videos also offer a deeper 
understanding of the rationale behind the Common Core. Produced 
in partnership with NYS PBS stations WCNY/Syracuse and WNET/New 
York City, the series illuminates the Common Core through 
conversations between Commissioner King, a former high school 
social studies teacher and middle school principal; Coleman, a 
contributing author of the Common Core State Standards; and 
Gerson, a Senior Fellow with the USNY Regents Research Fund and a 
former high school English teacher and principal.
