For Cheryl Dobbertin, author of the practical instructional planning guide Common Core Unit by Unit, it's only natural to seek a hands-on approach to meeting classroom issues. She is both the Director of Professional Development for Expeditionary Learning and Co-director of an Expeditionary Learning project charged with designing exemplary units for Common Core implementation in New York State. Together these experiences have shown her the transformational power - for both teachers and learners - of immersion in engaging, challenging curriculum. Common Core, Unit by Unit distills these experiences and her years of experience in teaching, literacy leadership, and school administration into an instructional resource that has a dramatic effect before kids enter your classroom, while they are there, and long after they've left it forever.
