=Stage 1 Identify Desired Results=
 * **Establish Goals:** **(G)** ||
 * Teachers will discuss, examine, and become familiar with the complexities of the common core, Standards Based Reporting, and the differences between them and previous standards and practices.
 * These goals will be measured against both the new TPEG (Teacher Evaluation Tool) rubrics in the district as well as the National Teachers Standards. ||

//What understandings are desired?//
instruction that uses the common core standards will "look" different in the classroom compared to "traditional;" teaching. becoming more familiar with the common core standards and appendices is absolutely necessary to providing good instruction and assessment. text complexity is in multifaceted and an integral part of the understanding of resources and teaching. • • ||
