There Is Nothing Common About Hacking the Common
Core

It's finally here: a book that unravels the Common Core State Standards, exposes the myths,
and shows educators and parents exactly how to bring back the fun to teaching and learning--even in
a standardized world.

In Hacking the Common Core, longtime teacher and CCSS specialist Michael
Fisher reveals 10 amazing hacks for teaching the Core in all subjects.

The Common Core Is Not Evil, but. . .

Fisher explains how the Standards are not evil, while demonstrating their
limitations, particularly when teachers trust a vendor product over their own
professionalism. Getting to the CORE of contemporary instructional practice and undoing the
mass hysteria following the Common Core implementationare both the heart of this book.
