Herrington, T. (2017, July 26). Rural districts need support to implement Common Core standards. EdSource. Available at https://edsource.org/2017/rural-districts-need-support-to-implement-common-core/585286
This article speaks to the challenges that rural school districts face when implementing the Common Core State Standards. Often times, resources are not as readily available as they might be for suburban and urban districts. Many rural districts must rely on support from outside consultants or county offices of education (COE) that may not have the capacity needed to support their districts. A study of small counties found that the strength of COE support varied greatly from county to county, and discovered inconsistent administration of teacher training, coaches, and specialists. The study’s report recommended the creation of a “robust infrastructure of supports” through the state, counties, and the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence. Other systems of support include Pivot Learning’s Rural Professionals Network, which EDCOE adopted so administrators could collaborate and leverage resources.
