=PS278TEACHINGANDLEARNING := =CCSS Tasks on SS and ELA Themes Grades 5-8 = This site lays out in-depth units of study in SS and ELA following Common Core State Standards. It benefits all to know what topics have or will be covered in-depth to help strengthen students more efficiently as they move through PS278.

It's a dynamic site, open to adding more helpful links, templates, and exemplars--but especially student work that shows the stages as they "step up" to more college-ready understandings.
