**Updates from NYSED**

 * **NYSED Video Project:** NYSED is developing videos of NYS teachers who are beginning the work of aligning their classroom to Common Core Learning Standards. The videos will be shot over the course of the year to show the development of the instructional strategies as well as of the students. These are not intended to be exemplars but rather to demonstrate what developing these skills looks like. A peer coaching/observation formhas also been developed for Grades 3-8 ELA and Math to promote collegial conversations around classroom visits or videotape viewing.
