LITERACY
The Common Core State Standards present educators with a dynamic change: a shift to 21st century learning. No longer can schools merely tweak the existing system to enact reform. Rather, to ensure lasting change, they must develop new philosophical and pedagogical approaches to learning. However daunting the task of implementation may seem, the standards provide an evidence-based road map to lead students to success. Shifting to Common Core Literacy provides a straightforward process and protocol for reading this map and developing a shared vision to effectively implement the CCSS schoolwide.

“The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) lay out an ambitious set of goals for student learning. Students will only reach those goals if schools transform themselves to support those aims. Fortunately, Cheryl Zintgraff Tibbals and Victoria L. Bernhardt are here with tools to help school leaders get started. Their road map will be invaluable as educators take on this vital challenge.”
