On Wednesday, April 3, NCEA 2013 attendees explored the Common Core Catholic Identity Initiative in which schools can design and direct the implementation of the Common Core standards within the culture and context of a Catholic school. By collaborating with catholic school teachers, curriculum experts, catechetical experts, and principals since 2012, the CCII Project has been able to further develop and disseminate frameworks, guidelines, resources, and professional development that assists Catholic school educators in integrating Catholic values, beliefs, and principles of social teaching into all subjects using the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) beginning with K-8 English Language Arts (ELA).
