john sangiovanni - transitioning and implementing the common core state standards
DESCRIPTION
Transitioning to the Common Core Standards requires teachers to use new methods that emphasize a conceptual understanding of Math. In this month’s Blended Learning webinar, presenter John SanGiovanni discussed best practices for implementing these methods. John shared a case study from Howard County Schools where administrators created an implementation plan that included a feedback and support system, as well as a portal of online tools for educators and administrators. Watch the webinar to find out more.TRANSCRIPT
TRANSITIONING AND IMPLEMENTING THE COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS… ONE DISTRICT’S APPROACH

And now…3 years since adoption…
Questions EmergingResearch Needs
How is the mathematics education system responding to the introduction of the CCSS? States, school districts, and schools Preservice teacher education—all types Professional development Professional societies
Distinguishing between alignment and quality The influence of the CCSS will be strongly
mediated by the consortia assessments.

Think about…
1. When you think about the transition implementation of the Common Core, what is most important to YOU?
2. When you think about your role, what do you need (in terms professional growth) to ensure that you are ready and able to lead others through the CCSS implementation?
3. What are the challenges (elephants in your room), related to the Common Core, facing your school and/or district?
