Worked on decoding and translating the original CCLS
Looked at multi grade levels to determine where specific topics would fall
CCLS Alignment 2011-2012
Cross referenced current state standards and CCLS specifically for grade 8, Algebra I and Geometry to determine:◦ Shifts in topics between courses◦ New topics to be covered◦ Topics that no longer will be addressed
Cut up Algebra I standards and sorted them into units
Repeated the process with other courses
CCLS Alignment: 2012- 2013
Worked together to decipher state guidance documents on implementing the Common Core standards
Shared ideas with teachers from other districts
