LET’S TAKE A LOOK…  For about 20 minutes:  Gather in groups of 4-5.  Take a look at the reading strand together.  Select an anchor (any level of your choosing) to focus on.  Consider these questions:  What one word best describes how you feel about the transition to CCRS?  How do you think your faculty will respond to CCRS?  What do you think will be the biggest challenge?  If we have the option, do you hope to transition to CCRS over the course of: 1 year, 2 years, 3 years  What (brief) ideas do you have for beginning your implementation plan?  What overlaps do you see with this shift to CCRS and other program shifts happening?  How have you already begun to make these shifts?
