This course is designed to support school and district leaders in bringing the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) to life in all classrooms. You will develop a clear vision of what implementation will look like in your setting and learn about essential implementation tools tied directly to the Common Core–formative and interim assessment, analysis and planning, leading professional development, evidence walks, and data dialogues. You will have the opportunity to reflect on your own practices, try out new approaches, and plan your strategies for effectively implementing the CCSS.

By the end of this course, you will have a deeper understanding of your role as a leader of Common Core standards' implementation and new tools to help your school or district move toward the point where all students are college and career ready.
