DESCRIPTION
The rigor of the Common Core requires a depth of thinking that is unfamiliar to many students. To begin teaching to these new standards, teachers must invoke different tools and methods. In this web seminar originally broadcast on June 6, 2013, administrators from Howard County (Md.) Public School System shared their phased Common Core transition plan, as well as their collection of online resources for students, teachers, and administrators.

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?
