About
This 82-node mind map template explores the intersection of Character Education (CE) and K-8 Common Core (CC) Math Standards. It is designed for educators, researchers, and curriculum developers seeking to align CE practices with math instruction. The template covers background documents, key informants, and strategic options, including the 8 Mathematical Practice Standards (e.g., 'Make Sense of Problems and Persevere in Solving Them') and Mathematical Content Standards organized by grade. It also references resources like 'Adding it up (NRC)' and critiques of CE/SEL. The map is structured around three main branches: 'Background', 'Check in with relevant informants', and 'Call with Marcia', providing a comprehensive framework for analysis and action.
