Creating a common understanding of the standards and instructional shifts
Aligning standards, instruction and assessment as well as professional development efforts in those areas
Determining the role each part of the system plays in the implementation of the standards and the instructional shifts
Examining how current policies and practices are designed to support implementation.

It is highly recommended that teams attend, as structured planning and work time will be included.

In this workshop, districts will explore multiple documents and strategies related to implementation of the SBAC:
