2. How important are the CCSS to your schools? 3 2 4 1 5

3. Where are they on implementing them? PRELIMINARY ACTION Preliminary steps taken, leadership trained ACTION Training for Leaders and Teachers AWARE Leaders know,but no action taken yet READY Implementation plans. Training for teachers and leaders. Partnerships with solutions providers. NOT STARTED…

4. But first, a few Common Core basics • Is state led – coordinated by National Governors’ Association and Council of Chief State School Officers • Outlines consistent standards across adopting states • Currently focuses primarily on Math and ELA • Includes rigorous content and a focus on the assessment and application of knowledge as a true measure of understanding • Aligned with college and career expectations • Informed by top performing countries and states • Is research-based

5. But these thoughts really drove what we did. The standards focus primarily on what content should be taught, not too much on how it should be taught. • The standards provide deep focus on new student behavior and practices. New assessments should (will) impact everything.

35. Trainings that deliver the intended results Pearson handles large CCSS installations with quality 35 unique workshops on June 9th in NYC June 10, 2011 Dear Deborah, Gina and Jennifer, Thank you so much for all of your help and support in planning and handling the logistics of our Common Core Institute session last Thursday. As you read in the last e-mail, our teachers raved about the day, and Karen, Jodi, Bill and I were equally impressed with the sessions that we attended. We are thinking about repeating the assessment session for our principals over the summer. We are having a Principals’ Meeting this week, on Wednesday, June 15th, and plan to ask our principals which summer dates would work for them. We will let you know the dates that we are considering very shortly and would also like to discuss other sessions for next year. Thanks again.
