Transition to the Model Curriculum
Implementation of the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects will occur over several years as support materials and assessments are developed. The State Board of Education will adopt and release model curricula in 2011 that will assist schools in designing curriculum locally. While there is no implementation deadline that schools and districts must meet, it is likely that new statewide assessments aligned to the 2010 standards will be implemented during the 2014-2015 school year. It is important to note that this timeline is tentative and dependent upon multiple factors including Common Core Standards and Race to the Top assessment consortia on the national level.

What is the Model Curriculum?
A web-based tool, aligned to the standards, that:
• Presents information specific to the content area by grade level, grade band and course
• Provides curricular and instructional guidance
• Includes instructional strategies and resources
• Informs assessment development
