Example
: Different State Roles for Curricular
and Instructional Materials Transition
No one approach will work best for all
parts of implementation or for all states
The most effective approach may be to combine strategies, considering:
state-level capacity
local needs
partnerships
other resources available
Regardless of the approach, state actions need to be pursued with a clear
articulation for how the work helps districts and schools:
What are the assumptions about what educators need, and why does the state think
its actions will make a difference?
What authority and incentives are in place (or not) to support the effective use of a
particular approach?
States should have a clear “logic model” that undergirds the choices they
have made and the resources and tools they invest in to build capacity.
Discussion Questions
How has this lever/function been relied on historically for standards
implementation?
If it has been avoided, why?
What has it looked like when this lever/function has been used
successfully?
What made it successful?
What has it looked like when this lever/function has been used
unsuccessfully?
What lessons were learned from that experience?
The role of your state in supporting standards implementation through various strategies like professional development, curricular materials, leadership development, and more. Explore examples and challenges within state education agencies.

Example: Different State Roles for Curricular and Instructional Materials Transition Require that local education agencies, regional service providers, vendors or others adopt or provide the necessary materials and supports, along with strong quality control mechanisms. Providematerials and supports directly to schools, in partnership with school districts, regional service providers, vendors, institutions of higher education, professional associations, other states or additional organizations. Guide educators, administrators and other service providers with advice and support on how to make the best use of high-quality, aligned, voluntary resources in their day-to-day work including by developing examples, templates and models, identifying resource experts, convening and training educators and providing advice on using tools.
