Common Core State Standards
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) videos are designed to support states, schools, and teachers in the implementation of the CCSS. The videos were created in collaboration with the states in the Southeast Comprehensive Center region based on their needs for professional development support for the implementation of the Common Core State Standards. Each video is an audiovisual resource that focuses on one or more specific standards and usually includes examples/illustrations geared to enhancing understanding. The intent of each content-focused video is to clarify the meaning of the individual standard rather than to be a guide on how to teach each standard, although the examples can be adapted for instructional use.
Briefing Papers
SECC briefing papers are prepared to provide information to the departments of education of the states served by SEDL’s comprehensive centers. The briefing papers address topics that are related to the requirements and implementation of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). SECC staff collect information regarding research and practices related to these topics and summarize that information so that educators can use it to support their work at the state, district, and school level to meet student needs more effectively.
