13. In case you haven’t heard... It’s Iowa Core, not “Curriculum.” Make changes as you can.

15.  Available on our AEA9 Web Site  Guide for the work to occur in the district, but can be changed  Districts who have spent more than 2 hours working with staff on “Understanding the Iowa Core” have been more open to change and willing to consider updating content, instruction, assessment

16. IDEA: 1. Staff independently read page one of the “Overview Paper,” underlining key descriptive words or phrases. 2. With a partner or trio, write those key words or phrases on a sticky note. 3. Meet with two other groups and write all common themes on index cards (Activity 1, Module 7) 4. *Email me if you want that paper
