Lessons Learned• In Common Core transition, needed accurate

and real-time data on student learning across the district

• Listened to what was “bubbling up” at the school sites

• Staff needed multiple opportunities to collaborate– at school and district levels

• Communication is key

Implications for this Year• Developed a Progress Monitoring system

across the District for targeted grade levels• Seek out input and feedback for small shifts

and big ideas before “run”• Developed an Instructional Framework to

anchor our Teaching & Learning • Developing opportunities for teachers and

leaders to collaborate and learn together – through CCSS training, PLCs, etc.
