K-5 Mathematics and ELA Modules
NYSED will be publishing a "white paper" on the K-2 Core Knowledge curriculum modules to help understand how those modules can fit within "existing paradigms" such as basals and guided reading programs. This is to address some issues that folks have had with these modules and should be helpful for districts making their decision to adopt, adapt or ignore. We will post and distribute the link once this is available.

Grades 3-8 Assessment Updates
Grade/Content Specific Assessment Information is scheduled to be release by NYSED by "the end of the month." In the meantime, NYS has released "sample CCLS aligned items" that should be reviewed by teachers to understand how the expectations of the Common Core might appear in the 2012-2013 assessments. NOTE: These items have not been field tested or run through psychometrics and are not intended to be "perfect" - rather they are illustrative tasks.

Network Team Updates
The team is currently working on dates for professional development in the following areas:
- Assessment Development: This work will continue to build the WNY JMT Assessment Item Database to ensure robust post-assessments for 2012-2013.
- Lead Evaluator Certification Training (Teacher Evaluators): These opportunities will cover the Nine Elements of Lead Evaluator Certification. NOTE: E2CCB does not certify Lead Evaluators, this is done by the Superintendent of each district.
- Unit Design: The work around unit design will be focused on very specific content and skill areas to build units upon. The "backwards design" model will still be used, however the focus will be on specific areas such as writing arguments and using complext text in close reads.
