1 TM ON THE SAME PAGE EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF COLLEGE- AND CAREER-READY STANDARDS THROUGH LABOR-MANAGEMENT COLLABORATION
2 This publication has been adapted from Assessing Implementation of the Common Core State Standards published by the American Federation of Teachers and may be used and reproduced without permission.
3 INTRODUCTION This document is intended to serve as a tool that will assist teams of labor and management working collaboratively at the district and state levels in their implementation efforts by providing guidance that can drive the development of a high-quality implementation plan. This plan can be used to support efforts to make the standards a reality in their schools and classrooms. This self-assessment tool can help teams of labor and management determine: Whether the labor-management teams current implementation efforts address critical components of a high-quality implementation plan; Whether critical components of implementation are missing from the plan and what components will need to be developed as implementation continues; One or more high-priority goals to work on collaboratively in pursuit of effective implementation of college- and careerready standards. The components in this document are not all-inclusive. We have attempted to include critical components to take into consideration when implementing the standards. However, local or state circumstances may require the adjustment or addition of components to address those issues to ensure a successful implementation process. IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING This tool is designed to be used with labor and management teams at all levels to set direction and determine supports for implementing standards through regularly scheduled meetings with cross-functional leadership teams representing all stakeholders. Whether implementation efforts support goals that are aligned with current reform efforts in the district or state; and ON THE SAME PAGE 1
4 COLLEGE- AND CAREER-READY STANDARDS PLANNING TO SUCCEED The College- and Career-Ready Standards provide an unprecedented opportunity and challenge. In advancing standards for mathematics and English language arts, the standards have the potential to help transform the very DNA of teaching and learning. As you review implementation note the following questions and components that should be addressed. KEY QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER: What is the current awareness level of teachers, administrators, parents and the broader community? Are stakeholders building a culture that supports the implementation of the standards? Are state and local resources allocated equitably across the district? Do educators have access to high-quality professional development? The chart indicates steps that should be taken chronologically but not independently. No step should ever be deemed complete. On going awareness campaigns and planning sessions should occur even while soliciting feedback on previous initiatives. 1 AWARENESS 2 PLANNING PROFESSIONAL 3 DEVELOPMENT 4 IMPLEMENTATION AND FEEDBACK Create broad stakeholder awareness of the standards through regular communications Collaboratively develop a sustainable plan for implementation, to include: Calendar of events and actions Expectations for all stakeholders Regular communication with stakeholders Process for identifying and developing teacher leaders Process for training staff to build capacity to sustain the work Detailed budget Identify and train teacher leaders as advocates and as trainers for other educators Create a Resource Review Team that will: Align existing instructional resources to the standards Research additional support resources and materials Examine implementation for: Opportunities for common planning time Reallocating resources toward professional development (PD) across all grades and all schools Opportunities for ongoing PD Opportunities for additional time for collegial conversations and looking at student work Provide job-embedded PD (e.g., teacher leaders, coaches, specialists) Use staff meetings for PD learning opportunities Provide opportunities for educators to deconstruct the standards to develop common understanding of their meaning and to examine student work Build assessment literacy of teachers and students Build internal capacity to sustain high-quality implementation Create opportunities to practice and refine instructional practices Include a system for evaluating effectiveness of the plan, receiving feedback from educators and modifying as necessary Review and update resources Tailor professional development offerings to address educators and students needs Use data to inform instruction, school practice, and implementation policy ONGOING COMMUNICATION WITH STAKEHOLDERS STAKEHOLDERS: Parents, students, teachers, business, community, labor, civic leaders, media, higher education faculty
5 A. ONGOING COMMUNICATION TO STAKEHOLDERS Identifying and communicating with stakeholders builds the awareness, knowledge, skills and commitment of those who are vital for the implementation of the standards. Communication with stakeholders should be ongoing and two-way as implementation progresses. DISCUSS AND PROVIDE EVIDENCE THAT THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS ARE IN PLACE: 1. Identified key stakeholders, for example: Parents, students, educators, civic leaders, faith-based leaders, politicians, labor, school board members, superintendents, media, business people, chamber of commerce members, university partners, legislators, state leaders and so forth. 2. Determined the messages that need to be communicated. There are readily available resources and messaging for educators and key stakeholders that address misinformation and communicate that the standards are excellent for education because there are fewer and deeper standards, there was and continues to be educator involvement in reviewing and teaching the standards, and effective implementation of the standards demands increased student responsibility as well as high expectations for all. There are established collaborative partnerships with parents/guardians, community leaders and other stakeholders to build consistent messaging on the standards. Accomplished educators and examples of instruction aligned to the standards are provided to media outlets. 3. Determined the methods for communication. Educators consistently utilize multiple formats of communication to reach and inform all stakeholders of the school s effective standards implementation (students, teachers, parents, community and leadership). 4. Determined how often messages are revised and/or updated. Policy is reviewed and updated to support standards implementation. Educators consistently ensure that a systematic, cross-functional process and structure is in place for communication that is ongoing, two-way and fluid to keep all stakeholders abreast of standards implementation and challenges that need to be addressed.

7 B. AWARENESS BUILDING A SUPPORTIVE CULTURE Building on the foundation of stakeholder awareness, collaboratively developing a sustainable plan for implementation helps to ensure the presence of a culture that supports the implementation of the standards. DISCUSS AND PROVIDE EVIDENCE THAT THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS ARE IN PLACE: 1. Collaboratively developed a sustainable plan for implementation that includes the following elements: Timeline for completing activities. The tools/processes for monitoring progress. Responsible parties for components and cross-team coordination. Information channels. Process for updating and reviewing the plan, including adjustments based on feedback, monitoring data and student work samples. 2. Collaboratively set expectations for stakeholders to: Understand the definition of the phrase college and career readiness. 1 Know the importance of the major shifts and what they look like for teachers and students. Advocate the importance of having proper standards implementation supports in place and the time needed to get this right to a variety of stakeholders. 3. Established a collaboratively developed process for identifying and developing teacher leaders and other stakeholders, which includes: A systematic approach for recruiting and selecting teacher leaders, involving both an administrator and a peer review process. A written statement of the knowledge and skills teacher leaders are to demonstrate. 1. What is College- And Career-Ready?, Achieve, ON THE SAME PAGE 5
8 Continuous professional development aligned to the knowledge and skills you have prioritized. A plan for expanding training to educators. 4. Created a detailed budget that reflects, within the appropriate local or state context, an assessment of resources needed for effective standards implementation and which: Identifies and prioritizes what resources and knowledge educators are going to need for successful implementation but don t currently have. Identifies compensation for professional development (monetary, credits, time, etc.). Provides transparency. Reflects a collaborative approach. Assesses need for realignment of allocated dollars. Allows for two-way communication about the quality of implementation and the level of student education. Allows educators to consistently engage all staff in professional development and collaboration on activities such as: Unpack and interpret the standards and shifts, unit development and assessment development; Conduct gap analysis to evaluate lesson plans/units and have conversations about raising the level of student work; Align and pilot new resources/materials; Revise/create curriculum guides and pacing guides; Increase teacher proficiency in using instructional technology to support instruction in all content areas; and Reflect on and refine new practices. 6 ON THE SAME PAGE
