Common Core Look-fors (CCL4s) is a great app for teachers integrating the Common Core State Standards into their classroom!

CCL4s is available on both iPhone and iPad as a single download.

NEW
Timeline: View the observed look-fors as a function of time.

Crowd-Sourced Resources
You can access the resources that other educators have shared, evaluated, and tagged to the Common Core Content Standards for Mathematics. This crowd-sourcing feature is an essential part of the iPhone version and a very valuable feature in the iPad version.

Purpose
CCL4s provides an interface for entering observation data as well as access to all the Content Standards for Mathematics K-12. The collected observation data can be shared via email or with our unique built-in instant meeting. The graphs are very interactive and allow observers to merge different observations to compare and contrast different teachers or the same teacher over time. Using the Timeline feature observers can track the observed lookofors through time.

Endorsements
Here are two statements from notable experts in the field mathematics education and in the transition to and implementation of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.

"This app extends our work with mathematics leaders by providing a tool that tracks the growth of a teacher's transition to implementation of the Common Core State Standards. This is a tool for coaches and coaching. It provides for informal peer-observation, is a source for data analysis related to teaching and should be the cornerstone for reflective practice."

"CCL4s is a comprehensive tool designed to help teacher learning teams deepen their awareness and understanding of the actions and conditions that promote student engagement with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice, with connections to the K-8 and high school content standards. An exciting blend of creativity, innovation, and strategic technology use, this app will transform purposeful classroom observation through effective staff collaboration in U.S. schools."

Look-for Definition
A 'Look-for' is a classroom observation tool that may be used as a non-evaluative assessment resource. The ‘Look-fors in this peer-observation tool are designed to monitor and assess the extent to which students are engaged in particular elements of the mathematical practices of the Common Core State Standards for mathematics (CCSSO, 2010). The tool provides suggested student responses for each of the mathematical practices as observational look-fors. These should be helpful in providing suggestions related to both planning and assessment for teachers, mathematics leaders, and school-based administrators.

Instant Meeting
The purpose of Instant Meeting is to allow users to share observations instantaneously without the need for a wireless network. These devices will connect to each other without the need to be on wi-fi. This is great for schools where wi-fi connections are unavailable.
