Districts’ implementation planning differed in start time, the activities they developed, how they sourced resources, and what tools they used.

Most district leaders believed their teachers knew the California State Standards; however, the majority of teachers were still transitioning and developing an understanding of the instructional strategies needed to implement the standards.

While most districts are neutral to satisfied with the technical services they receive, flexibility and adult learning capability were key drivers for higher satisfaction.

To achieve their vision for implementation, school districts are looking for support in a number of areas, especially around collaboration, formative assessment, professional development, and instructional materials.
