Common Core Learning Standards Open Call

The NYC DOE Open Call to review Common Core Aligned Performance Tasks has now closed.  Please check back during the Spring of 2013 for another opportunity to submit your curriculum materials for common core alignment feedback.  Please refer to our guidelines below as they will remain the same during the next open call time period.

The feedback you receive will be formative, i.e., focused on key areas of strength and areas for growth.  The people reviewing submissions are the Common Core Fellows – teachers, coaches, and others from across the system who have developed expertise in determining Common Core alignment.  Collectively, this process will help the entire system move towards a better understanding of and a greater skill set around implementing the Common Core Learning Standards across disciplines.  We thank you again for the part you are playing in that process.
