CCSS Road Map: 2012-2013

The goal of implementing the Common Core State Standards is to ensure that instruction in our schools

is changing dramatically. To accomplish this, the Common Core instructional shifts need to be visible

and observable in all classrooms.

DRAFT WORK IN PROGRESS

Does the district have capacity to develop its own curricular materials for all standards & grades?

Create a job with full-time responsibility for engaging educators to develop curricular supports that include model units, lesson plans and sample assessment tasks with guidance on how to teach, develop and adapt them for every strand in every grade and for ELLs, SWDProvide evidence that the curricular materials reflect the shifts & Tri-State Rubric

YesN

o Decide if the district will adopt or adapt the state curricular materials or purchase new materials

If adopting the state curricular materials, clearly communicate to all educators what the materials are, how they will assist educators, the roll-out timeline and their alignment to CCSS and state assessments

If adapting the materials, consider who in the district has the content expertise to ensure quality remains high while adapting the materials to community needs

If purchasing new materials, seek vendors who can provide evidence that their materials reflect the shifts, meet the Publisher’s Criteria and the Tri-State Rubric

Step 1: Decide whether to adopt the state-developed curricular materials

Step 2: Determine your leadership team for CCSS

Do you have a point person responsible for CCSS implementation?

Identify someone who can meet the following expectations:

• Deeply understand the shifts• Observe the shifts in practice• Work collaboratively with HR

staff/evaluation staff/PD staff to plan and implement curricular materials and professional development for all educators

Collaborate with your NT/NTE to develop a 2012-2013 CCSS implementation plan

Convene HR/evaluation/ curriculum staff to identify points of alignment with APPR and DDI implementation

Track and adjust implementation plan Yes

No


Step 2: Determine your leadership team for CCSS


Do you have a point person responsible for CCSS implementation?





Communicate how you plan to effectively use the Ambassadors

Engage the Ambassadors in planning and delivering professional development to educators around the instructional shifts and the curricular materials

Enlist Ambassadors in adapting state curricular materials or analyzing alignment with the Publisher’s Criteria and Tri-State Rubric

Ask Ambassadors to talk about CCSS with colleagues, parents & the public

Step 3: Decide how to identify and deploy CCSS champions

Does the district have a Teacher and/or Principal Ambassador?

Identify your champions

Can you nominate excellent teachers and principals to become Ambassadors? With which other districts that have ambassadors could you work? Which teacher/principal champions for CCSS in your schools could be tapped to support CCSS implementation?

NoYes


Step 3: Decide how to identify and deploy CCSS champions


Does the district have a Teacher and/or Principal Ambassador?





Create a PD plan that includes supports that :• Are content-rich and CCSS-driven• Highlights adult-to-adult

conversations and learning around grade-level content

• Emphasizes how to implement the instructional shifts with all students using rigorous materials

• Focuses on structures, scopes and sequences necessary to do the work each day

• Provides opportunity for collaboration and peer support

Set realistic goals: When will the district reach 75% of educators? 85% of educators? 100% of educators?

Step 4: Determine your plan for ensuring that all your educators deeply understand the CCSS instructional shifts

Does the district have a high-quality PD plan that will reach every educator?

Determine which mechanisms (training participant surveys, focus groups, state surveys, interim assessment results, etc.) you will use to track PD quality and fidelity of changes in instruction

Collaborate with your NT/NTEs and other district colleagues to adjust plan based on the data and to reach 100% of educators

Yes

No


Step 4: Determine your plan for ensuring that all your educators deeply understand the CCSS instructional shifts


Does the district have a high-quality PD plan that will reach every educator?





In collaboration with your colleagues :• Hold teachers and principals

accountable for shifts in the classroom

• Identify effective ways to embed CCSS in the “learning content” and “evidence” SLO elements

• Identify within the teacher and principal observation rubrics where to locate evidence of the shifts in practice

• Ensure observer training and calibration to the inter-rater reliability standard includes understanding the CCSS shifts

• Ensure that principal coaches and supervisors are co-observing classes and discussing the fidelity of CCSS shifts in instruction in classrooms

• Provide PD that addresses CCSS, APPR and DDI coherently and that prioritizes instruction based on the CCSS shifts

Step 5: Integrate CCSS with APPR and DDI

Have you identified the essential areas of intersection among CCSS, APPR and DDI?

Convene your colleagues working on APPR and DDI to coordinate and integrate implementation plans

Align district resources to your implementation plans

Yes

No
