What Should
               Districts Do Now?
• Become familiar with:
   – Common Core State Standards
   – Revised standards
   – Model curricula for each
• Utilize crosswalks and comparative analyses to identify
  changes in content and levels of rigor
• Assure that all students have access to high quality
  instruction and challenging curriculum
• Develop support structures for struggling students
• Watch for new opportunities and resources
• Be skeptical of easy alignment and quick fixes
