My worry is that, for all of the great ideas in common core, that the bandwagon effect will mean that trainings will emphasize a one way approach that means it is always done the same way (ie how to look at a text, then analyze it to death). I already see the beginnings of this in my district. I think that the close reading needs to be interspersed with lots of time spent reading and reading... I think that I would die of boredom as a reader to spend two weeks on one reading discussing and rereading and discussing and rereading. As for the professional books, there is already so much great information out there for creating discussion of deep reading of text that I'm going to be very careful what I will buy... there is so much money to be made here..

As far as curriculum goes... I would not buy anything this year....many publishers are holding out in developing new stuff because they are waiting to see what the PARCC and Smarter Balanced assessments actually look like...
