Infusing the Common Core: A Shared Instructional
Responsibility
Infusing the Common Core: A Shared Instructional Responsibility
The CCSS and PARCC are not the sole responsibility of the ELA and Mathematics teachers. In fact, the role of every educator has changed, and CCSS and PARCC demand that all faculty and staff assume the leadership role in this changing instructional paradigm. This session will guide the instructional partners (superintendents to paraprofessionals) by defining responsibilities and providing strategies as they begin the journey to infuse the CCSS in every classroom with PARCC in mind.
