Our hope is that this blog will be a vehicle for sharing resources and ideas for implementing the Common Core standards in Alabama. If you are reading this blog, you probably have at least a rudimentary knowledge of the Common Core standards and are most likely aware that Alabama is integrating the Common Core math standards into Alabama's course of study this year. Next year will begin the integration of the language arts standards into our course of study.
In Madison County, we have been given the task of creating a plan to integrate both math and language arts Common Core standards into our current course of study. We are researching how other states have gone through this process and we hope to be able to benefit from their pioneering of this implementation.
We see the process as requiring three steps:
- To explain to our personnel the philosophy and shifts behind the Common Core standards through sharing information related to the standards.
- To develop a roadmap and timeline for the district and our individual schools that will give step by step instruction for implementing the standards.
- To equip our personnel with Common Core tools, strategies, and resources that will ensure the successful adoption of these new standards.
As this is new territory for all of us, we welcome professional questions, comments, suggestions, and feedback as we learn from each other.
