This second webinar of the School Leadership for Common Core State Standards series will focus on the new English Language Arts (ELA) standards and the kind of cultural and instructional changes—cross-content literacy, greater emphasis on informational text, and so forth—school leaders will have to introduce to implement the standards.

About the Common Core Series

School leaders are becoming familiar with the content of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and are considering the kind of instruction that will be required of their teachers.

But what about YOUR practice?

The school leaders’ practices have to change to create the conditions that promote a successful implementation, and leaders will have to consider what it means to, for instance:

• Lead and accelerate a schoolwide literacy program
• Build the capacity of teachers to teach to Common Core State Standards
• Lead K-12 vertical and horizontal articulation

Combining College Board's deep understanding of CCSS with NASSP's extensive history in principal development and school improvement, the two organizations are launching an online community and webinar series to highlight the issues that K-12 school leaders will need to consider during the CCSS transition.
