The importance of key content . . .

I've asked Nancy and Kristin to guest blog about what we have learned about key content since the start of the school year.  Through our observations, review of the research, and conversations we continue to refine and add to our knowledge base about this Classroom 10 characteristic.  What at one time seemed to be easy to define has taken on more complexity in our efforts to support implementation in the classroom.

In preparation for the guest post, you might want to write down what you understand are the critical components of key content.  Why is a focus on key content important and what does the research say about key content and achievement?  If these questions interest you, stay tuned this week to Nancy and Kristin's guest post.
