  11. ASCD/Gates Grant: Virtual Learning Networks Focus: Instructional Shifts of CCSS Assist with implementation in the classroomSecondary Teachers ELA literacy shifts Math shifts Literacy shifts for Science Literacy shifts for Social Science
  12. ASCD/Gates Grant: Virtual Learning Networks Key Instructional Shifts: MathematicsFocus: Focus on where standards focus - Deep not wide!Coherence: Think across grades and link to major topics - Progressions
  13. ASCD/Gates Grant: Virtual Learning Networks Key Instructional Shifts: Mathematics, Cont.Rigor: Require fluency, application, deep understanding– A balance of conceptual understanding and skill.College and Career ReadinessMath Practices
  14. Two Years Five Webinars per year Content specific Host by ASCD faculty member Synchronous Recorded and archived on EduCore ASCD/Gates Grant: Virtual Learning Networks
  15. Phase One 1 Virtual Convening 4 Webinars Structured around “Problem of Practice” Challenges identified by participants in implementing CCSS in their classrooms Collaboration with trusted experts Helpful feedback in a timely manner ASCD/Gates Grant: Virtual Learning Networks
  16. Phase Two 1 Virtual Convening 4 Webinars Deeper dive Expand networks to include local colleagues/teams Local professional networks ASCD/Gates Grant: Virtual Learning Networks
