The CCSS bring with them a number of shifts that need to be made in current curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices. As leaders, we need to think, plan and act differently. Are you ready? Do you have a successful implementation plan in place to ensure that your students and teachers are prepared to meet the rigors of the CCSS and the next generation assessments? In this two-day, hands-on Academy, leaders will explore the implications for curriculum, instruction, and assessment as a result of the CCSS shifts. This Academy will focus on what the CCSS classroom looks like. Participants will explore research-based strategies to facilitate and support the change process throughout the transition to CCSS as well as tools to monitor teachers’ use of best practices to effectively teach the new standards. Participants will also explore and develop strategies to use with students and parents to prepare them for more rigorous standards. No matter where you are in your journey toward successful CCSS implementation, our personalized approach will support you in answering
the “what next” question and help you resolve your CCSS challenges.
