Center on Education Policy Issues Report on Progress and Challenges in School Districts’ Implementation of Common Core Standards

The Center on Education Policy recently released a report that discusses school district implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).  The report, which is based on survey of a nationally representative sample of schools districts, includes survey data on school district leaders’ impressions of the rigor of the CCSS and their impact on student learning, challenges that districts face in implementing the new standards, and activities that are being carried out at the local level to transition to the CCSS.
