    • He was great. I am so glad folk who missed the live Daggett can see his presentation.

    • Thanks for posting Bill Daggett’s presentation. His message remains consistent and is perhaps even more relevant today. I’m interested in your thoughts about his reference to the Common Core as “outdated?”

      • Daggett spoke about that… The Common Core was initially developed in 2008. It is now 2015 and the world has changed so much during that time. The Common Core standards were written to address skills needed in 2008… not in 2015 and beyond.

        • Yes….he explained his reasoning….I would just like to see more evidence for the basis of his statement in addition to dates.

          • Hey Linda… your comments are definitely thought provoking. I have attached below an article that Daggett wrote they addresses some your question. As far as for Common Core… I think we have all said it ourselves… the CCS are the basement, and we must be looking to expand and go beyond them.

    • Hi Megan,

      I’ve tried several times to open the video link you attached and would love to see your 4th and 5th graders but it keeps on telling me that the link is “private” – – I’m probably doing something wrong….

      • I get the same message.

      • I think I accidentally made it private where only Jeff Coots could watch it, haha! I changed it to public though, so try again and if it still doesn’t work, could you let me know! Thanks!

    • Hi Megan,

      I’ve tried several times to open the video link you inserted but haven’t been able to yet. It keeps telling me that the site is “private”. I’m probably doing something wrong but would love to see the Video of your kids!
