In Billings, MT we have transitioned to common core in both language arts and math. In math no new materials purchased we are just picking and choosing what we use in our current math series. The bar is definitely raised.
In language arts, our district purchased new materials for grades 3-5. We adopted Lead21. The bar is raised dramatically. Whole group lessons, differentiated readers, practice workbooks. High interest but we have been struggling with the increased expectations. Lots of finding text evidence to support responses. Still teaching comprehension strategies but within Lead21.
