The Ohio Department of Education has made recommendations to the school districts in Ohio for transition to the CC.

What is the state's recommendation for CC Transition? What you've seen above are //**guidelines**// established by ODE for Ohio School Districts to use  as they make their **//own//** transitional plans to design and implement the new 2010 Ohio State Standards. What Should Districts Do Now? //Become familiar with: Common Core State Standards for Lang. Arts & Math Revised standards for Social Studies and Science Model curricula for each. __**Assure**__ that all students have **__access__** to high __**quality**__ instruction and **__challenging__** curriculum. Develop __**support**__ structures for s**__truggling__** students. Watch for new o__**pportunities**__ and **__resources.__** // //** Be __skeptical__ of easy alignment and quick fixes. ** // Edgewood is currently developing guidelines for the transition to the new 2010 Ohio State Standards. Below is an initial draft of this plan. As you can see, we have a lot of work ahead of us, but we also have time to learn collaboratively as we begin this journey together. You will be guided through this transition, no teacher will be left on an island alone.
