Because the Common Core requires bold action

Why The Common Core, an Uncommon Opportunity? Why now? Because it tackles a largely overlooked component of implementation: how to redesign your instructional delivery system, K-12. And you'll have to; if you don't, you'll be subject to the very same failure and frustration so many other districts and schools are experiencing. What's more, March and Peters describe how to integrate 21st Century Skills at the very same time.

It will help district leaders

• Develop structured, consistent, and organized teaching and learning practices
• Make district-wide infrastructure adjustments for sustained reform
• Use best practices for sustained achievement and continuous curriculum review
