New York City Department of Education is engaging in several small pilots in
the 2010-11 school year to help support schools and inform our work in
transitioning to the Common Core State Standards. Each pilot will use
the lens of the Common Core Standards and the higher college- and career- ready
expectations of our students and educators when addressing the pilot’s specific
area of focus. Teacher teams will build their capacity to deepen curriculum and
instruction to help students develop the type of higher order thinking skills
they will need to meet the new standards and move toward college-readiness
throughout grades K-12.
