Implementing the Common Core State Standards in Washington State


Our Vision: Every student will have access to the CCSS standards through high quality instruction aligned with the standards every day; and that all English language arts and mathematics teachers are prepared and receive the support they need to implement the standards in their classrooms every day.

Our Purpose: To develop a statewide system with aligned resources that supports all school districts in their preparation of educators and students to implement the CCSS.

This includes building system-wide capacity for sustained professional learning that can support CCSS implementation now

and be applied to other initiatives in the future.

Our Core Values: This vision can only occur through core values of clarity, consistency, collaboration, coordination, and commitment from classrooms, schools, and communities to the state level.

1. What do all students need to know and be able to do as a result of the CCSS?

2. What do the adults in the system need to know and be able to do to support all students?

3. How do we design a

professional learning system

to support them?

“Dramatic shift in teaching…”


“The dramatic shift in teaching prompted by the common core will require practical, intensive,

and ongoing professional learning – not one-off “spray and pray” training that exposes

everyone to the same material and hope it sticks”

--Stephanie Hirsch, Learning Forward

What does this mean for district and building leaders?


What unique resources/supports do leaders need to support a building and/or sustaining a professional learning system?

Instruction Changes #9 and #10…


9. Approach to Teaching Teaching changes from giving students the answer to

having students apply knowledge to real world situations Students must find the answer and explain

10. Professional Development Studies show that our teachers are weakest in the areas

that are deemed critical to the Common Core State Standards

Implementation of these standards will require a “deepening” and “retraining” of entire teaching corps
