Critical Moves: 1% Milk
USDA wanted people to eat healthier, but that task seemed daunting. USDA researchers
decide on a critical move: Recommend consumers to switch to 1% milk.
Researchers created ads showing how a glass of milk contains as much fat as three strips of bacon and displayed mounds of fat at press
conferences.

Ensure your school’s instruction is aligned to the shifts
• Example of critical moves 1.Research whether curriculum mapping has already been done
for your curriculum (Everyday Math, e.g.)
2.Form a building leadership team to lead curriculum alignment
3.Organize your teachers to do the “flab analysis” (red/yellow/green sticky notes on curricular resources)
4.Use in-service days between now and the beginning of school to deliver sessions on the Common Core
5.Analyze your school’s assessment data to identify areas for improvement by classroom
6.Plan how faculty meetings for September and October will be used for Common Core PD, trouble-shooting, etc.

Finding the FeelingThe scene: You walk onto an elevator on the 30th floor of a building and find yourself standing beside a principal who is skeptical of the new standards. The doors close. You have 1 minute until you reach the lobby.
