Insights into CA State Standards Implementation: 2016 – 2017



The authors of this report conducted interviews, surveys and focus groups with thousands of teachers, instructional coaches, principals and district leaders accross the state about every facet of the new standards in order to understand the state of standards implementation as completely as possible.
