Hey guys!
I just wanted to share with you a resource that I hope you’ll find helpful as you implement the Common Core. Here are some guiding questions for you to use at your school – these will help get the “gunk” out of the way before you get implementing! It’s necessary!
|
1 |
What have we done so far in our CCSS efforts? What history do we have in implementation across the departments? |
|
2 |
What direction do we have from the district? What support do we have from the district? |
|
3 |
What are the inhibitors to our work on the CCSS? Is there residual debris from other efforts that we need to clean up? |
|
4 |
What are our monthly goals for implementation? Will we have school-wide plans? Will we have department-wide plans? |
|
5 |
How will the plan be shared with the staff? School-wide? By teams? By department? |
|
6 |
How do we mobilize teachers to own and author the plan? |
|
7 |
What will our assessments look like? Do we already have assessments that we can use for development or do we develop brand new assessments? |
|
8 |
How will we team to develop the benchmark assessments? How will we collect and monitor assessments? |
|
9 |
How will we handle unit/lesson development? What do we have in place? How will we collect/monitor the lesson we’ve developed? |
|
10 |
What is our monitoring plan? How will the Leadership Team “walk the deck?” What are our “CCSS implementation benchmarks?” |
Then, you’ll find a planning tool that will allow you to get started aligning your current curriculum to the Common Core.
