What exactly do "fewer, clearer, and higher standards" really look like in the classroom?
As states and schools begin a transition to the adoption of the Common Core State Standards, they will need to come to a shared agreement on what increased cognitive rigor really looks like for instruction, curriculum, and assessment. These materials have been used in several presentations since 2009, including a CCSSO presentation (June 2010) and with schools or school districts in NY City, WY, NE, WA, and AK. A paper, PowerPoint, and several templates are provided as workshop handouts.

Learning Progressions Frameworks Designed for Use with Common Core State Standards in ELA
This document was developed in 2010-2011 by national content experts, researchers, and master teachers from across the U.S. using empirical research and the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts and Literacy. The project was funded with support from the U.S. Dept of Education Office of Special Education Programs Grant number: H324U0400001, The National Alternate Assessment Center (NAAC) at the University of Kentucky, The National Center for the Improvement of Educational Assessment (NCIEA), Dover, N.H, and a grant from the U.S. Department of Education (PR/Award #: H373X100002, Project Officer, Susan.Weigert@Ed.gov).

Expanded Grade-level Learning Progressions Frameworks for K-12 Mathematics
The 3 expanded grade-level views (for grades K-4, 5-8, and high school) of the Learning Progressions Frameworks for K-12 Mathematics show how smaller learning progressions can be drawn from the Learning Progressions Framework (LPF) using the Progress Indicators and highlighted links to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in mathematics. Unlike the original K-12 LPF document, these documents are organized by smaller grade spans. Each of these expanded versions displays all six LPF mathematics strands "unpacked" for ease of use by teachers and curriculum and assessment developers. The original document upon which they are based - Learning Progressions Frameworks Designed for Use with the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics K-12, including a more complete explanation of the research-based rationale and conceptual underpinnings - can be found at http://www.nciea.org/publications/Math_LPF_KH11.pdf.
