  4. Other Recommendations: Create CCSS booklets for teachers & parents Principals must become the instructional leaders of the implementation in the schools. In time, districts and schools should update their 5 year plan to include CCSS Districts need to provide longer time for ½ days and monthly staff development for CCSS
