through application of CCR-specific rubrics and cross-

team work and translating CCR standards into aligned

lesson content and instructional practices.

Process: Team members learn how to use the tools

Coaches will participate in the planning and delivery of

on-site trainings after each workshop to assist with the

initial roll-out.
