Thomas Jefferson — History.com Articles, Video, Pictures and Facts
Jefferson was sworn into office on March 4, 1801; his was the first presidential inauguration held in Washington, D.C. (George Washington was inaugurated in New York in 1789; in 1793, he was sworn into office in Philadelphia, as was his successor, John Adams, in 1797.)

Rubrics for the Common Core
Educators are busy re-mapping and re-working curriculum at all levels to align with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). As I began to take a look at this monumental initiative, I decided a way I might help was to identify the rubrics that have been developed thus far for assessment of these standards. Some states started earlier than others with this project and I am sure additional resources will be showing up on the Web soon! Here are the rubric links that I have located thus far: I also found two rubrics for reviewing lessons and units for the CCSS:As I find additional ones, I will be adding them to my Assessment and Rubrics page.
