Hi,

I'm glad you asked that question.  We in MO are in the process of piloting our Content Standards.  We just started the 16 hour workshop today.  We have a group of teachers from various size and types of classrooms from around the state.  They will pilot about 6 months, and during that time we will have a couple of meetings for them to discuss and evaluate how the CS are working/being presented/etc.  At the end of the 6 months, we will evaluate what has happened with the CS, re-write or tweak the standards and then prepare to begin implementation next summer.

I have also wondered how other states have piloted/implemented and what has worked/not worked.  Any tips would be appreciated.  If you are interested in our agenda, let me know.

Cheers,
JP

  Subject: [ContentStandards 219] How are states implementing contentstandards?


  Hello:

  This question is for states that are applying content standards. What are the processes or strategies you use to monitor the implementation of standards in your state? This seems to be the next step after formulation of the standards.

  Best,
