Questions and Answers
(Responses from the Heartland Iowa Core Curriculum Team)
1. Implementation plan—How far out should districts project? 1 year? Multiple years?
Every outcome, for every content area at each grade span, needs to be addressed in the implementation plan by the legislative deadlines. Districts/schools need to establish the timeline for implementing all the actions of their plans and that timeline will vary from one year to several years in the future, based on district/school priorities and needs.
2. How is the implementation plan going to affect teaching and learning?
It is the actions a district/school outlines in its implementation plan that will address the expectations of all six outcomes. If districts/schools develop an implementation plan based on the results of their self-studies, their work is likely to be connected to classroom practices through outcomes 4 and 6 in particular. These actions will impact teaching and learning.
