Resources and tools for implementing Common Core State Standards
This article is excerpted from Meet the Promise of Content Standards: Tapping Technology to Enhance Professional Learning. This brief is just one of several resources created as part of Learning Forward’s initiative Transforming Professional Learning to Prepare College- and Career-Ready Students: Implementing the Common Core.
The multidimensional initiative focuses on developing a comprehensive system of professional learning that spans the statehouse to the classroom. The project will reform policy and practice and apply innovative technology solutions to support and enhance professional learning.
With an immediate focus on implementing Common Core State Standards and new assessments, the initiative provides resources and tools to assist states, districts, and schools in providing effective professional learning for current and future education reforms. This work is supported by Sandler Foundation, MetLife Foundation, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
