Implementing CCSS: Strategies and Challenges at Brook Knoll Elementary

In 2014, Sharlene Ransom, Principal of Brook Knoll Elementary, led a comprehensive initiative to implement the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) through targeted professional development (PD) and data-driven focus. The program began with analyzing teacher interests and site-specific needs, leading to a phased rollout supported by district coaching. Key obstacles included investment in PD, fostering positive attitudes, and effective organization. The initiative emphasized collaboration, lesson study, and mentorship to sustain growth in teaching practices, ensuring impactful learning experiences for both students and staff.
