Some teams will be made up of one county program, while other teams may be made up of several smaller programs. Each team is led by at least one program director. Team members will attend two separate face-to-face meetings to learn how to unpack fifty KYAE Common Core Standards, build sample activities to help teach those standards, and align resources to standards. KYAE will assign approximately half of the standards, and program staff will select the other half.Prior to the first face-to-face meeting with instructors, directors will complete a written Instructional Support Planning Guide that they will submit it to you and CCLD. Your role as coach is to support program directors and instructors through the process of unpacking standards, building sample activities, and aligning resources to standards.
