3 Month Goal 6 Month Goal 9 Month Goal 12 Month Goal

Create awareness and foster fluency and develop a common language supporting the CCSS implementation

Collaboratively diagnose school capacity for implementing the CCSS and create an action plan to ensure Phase 1 execution: Aligned Unit in every classroom, each quarter

Introduce CCSS aligned curriculum model modules/units and unpack the qualities of a model unit

Build capacity and foster accountability so that every teacher delivers at least one Common Core aligned unit each quarter

Next Steps: Create measurable outcomes for goals: By December 2011, communicating artifacts (such as emails, wiki pages,

faculty meeting materials, school board meeting materials, initiative announcements, instructional non-negotiable, etc) will create awareness and foster fluency and develop a common language supporting the CCSS implementation.

  By March 2012, teacher’s surveys and school administrator’s surveys will

diagnose school capacity for implementing the CCSS.  By June 2012, documentation of student work, scope and sequence, lesson

plans, curriculum maps, observation notes, surveys from teachers, etc,) will establish that a CCSS (lesson, module, unit/module was delivered with quality and teacher demonstrated appropriate reflection on content, method and delivery based on grade level and subject areas.

  By September 2012, instructional evidence/artifacts samplings from various

school building programs will build capacity, foster accountability and demonstrate the integration of CCSS into the school culture (teacher observations, lesson plans, student work samples, etc.)

Accountability – true accountability – comes from within. We are accountable when we have embraced our responsibilities with all of our heart, when we have integrated ourselves so deeply in our work, into the lives and futures of our students, that our dreams include our dreams for them. ~ Dr. James Langlois, Superintendent of Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES 24
