  8. RESOURCES

  9. Stanford University: ELL and the CCSS —Link: UNDERSTANDING LANGUAGE "We seek to improve education for all students—especially English Language Learners. To that end, we are synthesizing knowledge and developing resources that help ensure teachers can meet their students' evolving linguistic needs as the new Standards are implemented."

  11. Leadership and Common Core Work

  12. Curators, Not Creators Successful leaders of the Common Core standards will need to help point teachers to key documents and resources that can be most helpful in understanding and implementing the standards. We no longer have to be creators of everything we need; we now can become curators—finding the gems of information and using those to move forward.

  13. National Models —Core Task Project (Nevada) About the Project —Nevada News article —Common Core Champions —Edmodo: Leading the Common Core

  14. Possible Roles for Leading CCSS Work —Plan for professional development -from making the most of formative assessments -learning new ways to question students -coach them on digging deeper in their thinking to improve critical thinking in all content areas. —Consider how professional development courses or workshops need to be differentiated in order to best suit the teachers: -advanced methods -“rebooting” attitudes and opportunities in the classroom. —Analyze teacher-developed formative & summative assessments -determine the degree to which students are asked to engage in close reading -construct responses that refer to evidence contained in the text.
