• Is state led – coordinated by National Governors’ Association and Council of Chief State School Officers

• Outlines consistent standards across adopting states

• Currently focuses primarily on Math and ELA

• Includes rigorous content and a focus on the assessment and application of knowledge as a true measure of understanding

• Aligned with college and career expectations

• Informed by top performing countries and states

• Is research-based

But first, a few Common Core basics

The standards focus primarily on what content

should be taught, not too much on how it should be taught.

The standards provide deep focus on new student behavior and practices.

New assessments should (will) impact everything.

But these thoughts really drove what we did.

OK, you want to talk Common Core? You got 30 seconds. What do you got?

June 10, 2011

Dear Deborah, Gina and Jennifer, Thank you so much for all of your help and support in planning and handling the logistics of our Common Core Institute session last Thursday. As you read in the last e-mail, our teachers raved about the day, and Karen, Jodi, Bill and I were equally impressed with the sessions that we attended.

We are thinking about repeating the assessment session for our principals over the summer. We are having a Principals’ Meeting this week, on Wednesday, June 15th, and plan to ask our principals which summer dates would work for them. We will let you know the dates that we are considering very shortly and would also like to discuss other sessions for next year.Thanks again.
