March
and

Peters
in

new
book
on
the
implementation
of
the
Common
Core
Standards
describe
what
amajor
systemic
undertakingit
is
to
transform
a
district’s
curriculum
to
reflect

Common
Core
standards
in

and
English
Language
Arts,

content

Science
and
Social
Studies,
and
the
21st
Century
Skills.
They
provide
a
detailed
and
clear
pathway
for
teachers
and
principals
to
integrate
the
Common
Core
Standards
with
local
and
state
curricula.
They
use
extensive
research
based
examples
to
guide
teachers
and
principals
and
enable
them
to
visualize
how
to

schools.
Their
chapters

Homework
and
Grading,
and
Implementation

offer
teachers
and

visions

for
all

"The Common Core: An Uncommon Opportunity to Redesign Classroom Instructionis a “must have” resource for teachers and leaders. The demands to shift classroom instruction in response to the Common Core are reaching a fever pitch. The pressure is on, and the stakes are high. Teachers and leaders, to meet these demands, must work together to both initiate and sustain meaningful change. This book provides the required processes in a clear, concise, practical, and usable format. Working together, and using this book as a guide, success is achievable."
“I took a Superintendency in an urban district that needed tototally transformitself. We began with the curriculum to include the Common Core and the other new state academic standards. But we soon discovered we alsoneededto re-design classroom instruction and re-construct our building leadership. We so appreciate the work of EdFOCUS - - of Drs. Peters and March and their team. Their system helped us not only re-invent ourselves but build the internal capacity we needed to maintain our momentum. This book is a must for any district who is serious about taking advantage of the Common Core to re-invent itself.”
"Our school district benefitted from EdFOCUS' model of collective school reform, because they were able to engage entire departments and, even, entire building staffs in the process from the very beginning. Their approach created a sense of ownership and urgency that led to our ability to quickly develop internal capacity to facilitate our improvement work. EdFOCUS' methodology improved our teachers and administrators' understanding of curriculum, instruction, and assessment; and the role each play in our efforts to improve student performance."
"In this new book, March and Peters do a great job of providing practicing teachers and administrators a great break down of the CCSS and then share significant ways to both unpack those standards and apply exemplary instructional and classroom practices to implement those CCSS. I would highly recommend this book for practicing educators looking for ways to put the CCSS into real-life classroom instruction and activities. They also go on to have a really timely and important discussion about assessments and their role in the instructional cycle with lots of important information provided for the reader. This is a really powerful book for those looking for a discussion, complete with examples, of the issues involved in implementing the CCSS."
"With 46 of the 50 states having adopted the common core, the question that the respective districts will have is, “How do we implement them?” This is the book that can be their guide."
"This book does what it sets out to do - to provide a plan and the resources needed to redesign 21st century classroom instruction that uses the common core standards to improve teaching practice for educators and educational outcomes students."
"As I read this book, I found that everyone (superintendent, principals, teachers, any stakeholder) should read ALL of the book."
“There are few books of this kind that offer such deep and specific information to assist the field in successful implementation of the Common Core and State learning Standards. This work provides tools for process, content, and sustainability of this important work. This book is a gift to practitioners of all levels, and those practicing in any type of school or district.”
"This book puts all of the proven strategies from top researchers in one place to help teachers prepare their students for tomorrow’s world. I really hope all stakeholders in education read this book."
"This research-based book provides a framework for implementing the Common Core State Standards, along with 21st-Century Skills, assessments, teacher evaluation, and best teaching practices for the classroom."
"We seek authenticity in our important leadership work with implementing Common Core State Standards in our schools and districts. This invaluable resource offers relevance and reality to this crucial task. It should be on every education leader's bookshelf within easy reach."
"While broad in scope, the text is well-written with many useful tables covering correlations between the old standards and the Common Core, as well as examples of curriculum maps, lesson plans, and strategies. The authors clearly demonstrate the authentic integration of 21stcentury literacy skills. The specificity of these tables, along with appendices, makes this book a usable working document for teachers. The examples will give Common Core schools a soundly-based jumpstart into the process of instructional redesign."
