How do the modules support a CCSS-aligned curriculum?

• The modules are tools that provide CCSS-aligned practices for unit and lesson design, instructional strategies, and assessments.

• Teachers have opportunities to implement or modify the curriculum according to their students’ needs.

• The design practices embedded in the modules are intended to be adapted to best meet the needs of individual districts, schools, and classrooms.
