From the April 20th Race to the Top Weekly Update

The NC Department of Public Instruction is in the process of revising the Honors Level Course Rubric that will serve as the foundation for the revision of the Honors Level Course Implementation Guide. This revision is to assure that the development and implementation of honors level courses is aligned with the new //NC Standard Course of Study// that includes the Common Core State Standards for Math and English Language Arts & Literacy and the NC Essential Standards for other subject areas. We believe that educators will offer ways that this document may be improved and made even more useful. The document can be found on the NCDPI School Counseling Wikispace, at @http://schoolcounseling.ncdpi.wikispaces.net/School+Counseling. Please take a moment to review this document and offer feedback to us. Please send your feedback to feedback@dpi.nc.gov by Friday, April 27. All input will be used to refine this tool.

The Common Core State Standards: English Language Arts map is now online. This interactive resource provides the viewer with the progression of the K-12 ELA Common Core State Standards. It allows the user to choose the //strand// and //range// to narrow or widen the scope – to focus attention on the standards needing review. This is a helpful tool for educators interested in seeing at a glance grade-by-grade expectations for students. It can be found at @http://rt3nc.org/objects/standards/cclitmap/ela.html
