A decade ago, school districts across the country began the process of developing an understanding of the Common Core State Standards; unpacking them to develop common understandings of their meaning, looking for vertical articulation within their curriculum, and developing learning progressions within horizontal articulation while working toward a guaranteed and viable curriculum.  As years of this work compounded with attrition, new legislative considerations, and a pandemic, where do we stand?  Join the discussion for considerations in preparing your district's road map for 2022-23!  Discover research and resources to support your work.
