This document is intended to provide a protocol for designing and conducting a focus group and for submitting written feedback to CCSSO. It includes focus group objectives; selection of participants, moderator, and note-taker; sample invitation to participate and pre-focus group assignments; format; moderator guide and note-taking template; and transmission information.
The purpose of the literature review is to a) identify areas within the updated InTASC standards that are supported by empirical evidence and b) identify areas within the standards that are supported by normative arguments (as opposed to empirical research).
The webcast is a recording of the public release from a briefing earlier in the day, featuring Thomas Luna, Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction, Jason Glass, Iowa Director of Education, Gene Wilhoit, CCSSO Executive Director, moderated by Chris Minnich, incoming CCSSO Executive Director.
