We will utilize this page to continue developing our implementation plan of the common core standards. The purpose of today is to spend 2 hours diving deeply into the common core standards. As a result of our dive into the CCS, we will be able to formulate our thinking on the wiki page about what the future will need to look like in CASD classrooms.

The common core standards will support continued change in a deep and explicit manner. The depth will come from eliminating standards and narrowing the focus, similiar to high performing countries, so that depth of learning and knowledge will transfer into long-term memory. The common core standards make me think about making sure students receive powerful knowledge and a world class curriculum to compete in a global world.

Considerations for CASD:
What high level strategies will we utilize to embed common core into classrooms? What will instruction look like in a classroom that is utilizing the common core standards? Where are the opportunities __present__ in CASD we can harness to make improvements? Where are the biggest gaps in CASD with common core standards?
