In preparation for the **June 7** professional development day, visit the [|Common Core Library] for activities in which you can engage your staff to:


 * understand and unpack the 2012-13 Citywide Instructional Expectations
 * explore the connections between the Common Core standards and the instructional shifts they require
 * discuss what effective teaching aligned to the Common Core looks like
 * consider how planning to remove barriers to learning can provide access to all students, and
 * understand how student achievement at their next institutions can inform postsecondary planning in your school community.

Each activity includes a step-by-step facilitation guide, handouts and other resources.

The following resources are also available on the [|Common Core Library] to support pre-k–8 schools in reviewing their scope and sequences for the upcoming year:


 * Math overviews that align to the Common Core and existing Core Curriculum materials
 * ‘What’s different?’ for literacy guidelines that outline the grade level differences in the Common Core and the current New York State standards
