CCSSO conducted a study of teacher professional development programs in mathematics and science through a grant from the National Science Foundation.
CCSSO was awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct a meta analysis study with the goal of providing state and local education leaders with scientifically-based evidence regarding the effects of teacher professional development on improving student learning.
These standards are an initial effort to articulate, through the lens of the teacher, what effective teaching and learning would look like.
This paper is a companion to the Model Core Teaching Standards, outlining key considerations, recommendations, and cautions for using the core teaching standards to create a supportive state policy infrastructure that leads to improved student outcomes.
This document represents the latest set of high-level policy standards for education leadership. It provides guidance to state policymakers as they work to improve education leadership preparation, licensure, evaluation, and professional development. As adopted by the National Policy Board for Educational Administration (NPBEA), these standards reflect the wealth of new information and lessons learned about education leadership over the past decade.
It is imperative that we transform the national education agenda so that each and every child may succeed. CCSSO, has worked in collaboration with members, partners and thought leaders to identify four areas of focus that will lead the systems change necessary for a true transformation of teaching and learning. Those areas are Next Generation Learning; Standards, Assessment, and Accountability; System of Educator Development; and Comprehensive Data Systems.

The Performance Expectations and Indicators for Education Leaders were developed by members of SCEL and funded by their state participation fees. We would like to thank the representatives of member states who contributed extensively to the development, writing, and national process of reviewing and editing this document.
The CCSSO Mathematics and Science Education Task Force convened to address a common set of concerns regarding the condition of mathematics and science education on the United States.
In May 2006, Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) President Valerie Woodruff and the Board of Directors commissioned the creation of a mathematics and science education task force to address a common set of concerns regarding mathematics and science education in the United States.
