| Short Description: | Achieve’s “On the Road to Implementation: Achieving the Promise of the Common Core State Standards” seeks to identify the key areas that state policymakers will need to consider to implement the new Common Core state standards with fidelity. |
| Annotation: | The Common Core State Standards offer an unprecedented opportunity for states across the nation to improve upon their education policies and practices, and achieve system-wide reform. States and districts and key stakeholders will need to think carefully about what it will take for the
Common Core State Standards to become fully operationalized in every classroom, every year, from kindergarten to high school graduation, and make serious decisions about their budget, curriculum, assessments, graduation requirements, accountability systems, instructional resources and more.
Achieve’s “On the Road to Implementation: Achieving the Promise of the Common Core State Standards” seeks to identify the key areas that state policymakers will need to consider to implement the new standards with fidelity. The guide is organized by topic with short chapters. It is not meant to be an exhaustive review or a checklist of all the issues that states and districts will need to consider as they move from adoption of the CCSS to implementation. Rather, it is meant to be the starting point from
which state and district leaders and their allies can organize and begin the necessary discussions around
key topics to successfully implement the standards. Inevitably, states and districts will discover new issues
as they dive deeper into each topic. Moreover, they will need to consider what other topics should be added given their unique circumstances. |
