Reform Integration Framework and Resource Guide: How State and Local Education Agencies Can Help Educators Connect the Dots among College- and Career-Readiness Standards, Aligned Assessments and Educator Evaluation and Support Systems
Reform Support Network
State and local education leaders implementing new college- and career-ready standards (CCRS), next-generation assessments and updated educator evaluation and support systems are turning attention to cohesion--or integration--of these three reforms as a top priority for supporting educators and for increasing the number of students graduating high school college and career ready. The "Reform Integration Framework and Resource Guide," co-developed by a number of States in the Reform Support Network, offers State and local education leaders a framework to identify priorities for integrating reforms; more than 50 resources contributed by States, districts and organizations that can be adapted for local use; and spotlights on integration occurring in States with varying contexts including Colorado and Massachusetts. The resources are organized into four areas, each pointing to key actions at the State and local level that can support integration of the reforms in schools and classrooms: (1) Select and use CCRS-aligned instructional materials and assessments (to transform every teacher's instructional practice); (2) Connect observations and support systems with CCRS to enable better instruction (to increase the quality of observation and feedback by all evaluators); (3) Align people, technology, time and money with implementation of CCRS, aligned assessments and educator evaluation and support systems (to support educators and fund implementation); and (4) Involve teachers, leaders and external partners to improve the agency's integration efforts (to fuel long-term sustainability of the State's reforms).
