The Common Core Professional Learning Series
The professional learning series is a tool designed to help district personnel facilitate and maintain the implementation of the Common Core State Standards. There are three levels within the framework, each of which contains tools and resources aligned to the appropriate phase of implementation described by each category. A short description of each level is given below. Simply read the description, CLICK THE LEVEL HEADING, and begin engaging with resources.

Common Core ClassroomsFull Common Core implementation is achieved when all lesson and units align with the rigors and the key areas of focus outlined by the standards. In addition, to achieve full implementation aligned to the spirit of the Common Core, all classroom lessons and units reflect the Tri-State rubric elements pertaining to instructional support and aligned assessment. Full implementation results in students prepared for success in college and career. It is important to note that district progress toward full implementation can be measured and monitored within the Rising Star on IIRC continuous improvement tool by targeting the following indicators: |
