Our guiding beliefs and approach forCCSS Implementation in WA2-Prongs:1.The What: Content Shifts (for students and educators) Belief that past standards implementation efforts have provided a strong foundation on which to build for CCSS; HOWEVER there are shifts that need to be attended to in the content.2.The How: System Remodeling Belief that successful CCSS implementation will not take place top down or bottom up it must be both, and Belief that districts and communities across the state have the conditions and commitment present to engage wholly in this work. Professional learning systems are critical 47. The What:ELA and Math Content Shifts ShiftsinELA 1. Buildingknowledgethroughcontent-richnonfictionandinformationaltextsinadditiontoliterature 2.
