Status:
Approve the agreement with The School Board of Broward County, Florida and The Center for College and Career Readiness.
The state of Florida will fully implement the new Florida Standards for Literacy and Mathematics, aligned to College and Career Readiness Standards, beginning in the 2014-2015 school year. It is critical that we implement a system-wide, purposeful strategy of professional learning, which includes district leaders, school based administrators, instructional coaches and teacher leaders to effectively lead and coach curriculum, lesson plans, instruction and accountable student collaborations which meet College & Career requirements for difficulty and complexity.
The Center for College & Career Readiness is a non-profit, 501(C)3 training and research organization that provides services to more than one third of America's school districts working to implement College & Career Readiness initiatives to build capacity among school leaders and teachers for improved student outcomes. This partnership seamlessly extends the professional learning framework utilized during the blended implementation of state standards and Common Core Standards.
This agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.
The estimated financial impact to the District is $985,000. The source of these funds is grant funded. There is no additional impact to the District.
