Implementation of the Common Core State Standards presents a number of challenges for districts, administrators, and teachers as they are forced to adapt from existing state standards to new, more demanding criteria.
Based on interviews with leading K-12 experts and curriculum developers, this paper identifies 10 critical steps and strategies to ensure successful migration including:
| • |
Performing gap analyses to determine how your state standards differ from Common Core standards |
| |
|
| • |
Providing professional development to help teachers master the new standards and use them to optimize instruction |
| |
|
| • |
Creating a repository of lesson plans and other resources to fill curricular gaps for teachers |
| |
|
| • |
Implementing Lexile-based literacy instruction to help mainstream, special needs, and ELL students meet the challenge of rigorous Common Core standards.
