MDE Expectations Revision Update
C3 Alignment Project
MDE Rollout Sessions Delayed
Admittedly an External Review Committee was not included in the process and the public review plan needed improvement. As a result, an External Review Committee has been assembled and is scheduled to complete their work during the month of June 2015.
Timing of Work
External Review Committee completes work

August/September 2015
Public Review of revised expectations*

October 2015
State Board of Education Approval (tentative)
How to Prepare
All other grades will have to wait and use the State Board-approved documents to make minor changes to curriculum, instruction, and assessments. In the meantime, the only thing to do is continue teaching the current curriculum, implementing the formative assessment process, and improving summative assessments.
