Question 5 - Classroom Video Introduction and Grade 2 Video

CA CCSSM TK–8 Instruction Emerging Practices Videos

The following classroom videos feature emerging practices for instruction aligned to the CA CCSSM, transitional kindergarten through grade eight (TK–8). We have provided a few things to look for while you watch the video in order to draw your attention to some of these emerging practices in action. These videos are not meant to set a standard for evaluation of instructional practice, but, instead, provide a visual companion to state-level guidance and demonstrate what instruction aligned to the CA CCSSM might look like. 1
