AS AN ORGANIZATION, WE ARE COMMITTED TO ENSURING THAT ALL STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM -- REGARDLESS OF BACKGROUND -- GRADUATE PREPARED FOR COLLEGE, CAREERS, AND LIFE. TO REALIZE THIS, CCSSO BRINGS TOGETHER DEDICATED LEADERS AND EXCEPTIONAL IDEAS TO ACHIEVE MEASURABLE PROGRESS FOR EVERY STUDENT. OUR WORK INCLUDES SUPPORTING STATES AS THEY IMPLEMENT NEW STANDARDS, REINVENT SYSTEMS THAT DEVELOP EFFECTIVE TEACHERS, EXPLORE AND ADOPT NEW TECHNOLOGIES, AND NAVIGATE POLITICAL TURMOIL-ALL IN THE PURSUIT OF HELPING STUDENTS SUCCEED. CCSSO CONTINUED TO SERVE AS THE GO-TO SUPPORT ORGANIZATION FOR THE NATION'S STATE EDUCATION CHIEFS, OFFERING RAPID RESPONSE TO MEMBER NEEDS AS THE PANDEMIC ENDURED AND PRESENTED NEW AND FLUCTUATING CHALLENGES. CCSSO HAS WORKED CLOSELY WITH CONGRESS AND BOTH THE TRUMP AND BIDEN ADMINISTRATIONS THROUGHOUT THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC TO SUPPORT STATES AND THE STUDENTS THEY SERVE. CCSSO HELPED ENSURE THE APPROXIMATELY $200 BILLION IN EMERGENCY FEDERAL FUNDING APPROVED BY CONGRESS CAN BE USED TO MEET THE GREATEST NEEDS IN K-12 EDUCATION NOW AND OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS. TO KEEP STATES INFORMED ABOUT FEDERAL SUPPORTS AND FUNDING FLEXIBILITIES, CCSSO HOSTED WEBINARS WITH SENIOR LEADERS FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENTS OF EDUCATION, AGRICULTURE, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION, AND THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION. CCSSO HAS PROVIDED ONGOING SUPPORT TO STATES ON LEVERAGING FEDERAL DOLLARS AND IMPLEMENTING NEW PROGRAMS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF ALL STUDENTS.THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUED ITS ROBUST CONVENING SUPPORTS TO MEMBERS VIRTUALLY, FROM JUNE 1, 2020 THROUGH JULY 1, 2021, HOLDING 337 WEBINARS AND 239 VIRTUAL CONFERENCES.

THE NEWLY FORMED COALITION OF LEADING EDUCATION ORGANIZATIONS -- FROM PRACTITIONERS IN THE CLASSROOM TO THE STATE CAPITOL -- IS A RECOGNITION THAT THE HISTORIC INJECTION OF FEDERAL EMERGENCY RELIEF FUNDS PRESENTS A TRANSFORMATIVE OPPORTUNITY FOR AMERICA'S PUBLIC K-12 EDUCATION SYSTEM. THE COALITION'S GOAL IS TO ENSURE THAT THE FEDERAL INVESTMENT PROVIDED DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IS SPENT EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY. IN 2020, CCSSO ADDED FIVE MORE STATES TO ITS HIGH-QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT NETWORK, WHICH BEGAN WITH EIGHT STATES IN SUMMER 2017. RAND HAS CONDUCTED YEARLY TEACHER AND SCHOOL LEADERS SURVEYS, FINDING THAT STATES IN THE IMPD NETWORK HAVE HIGHER USAGE OF HIGH-QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS THAN TEACHERS NATIONWIDE. CCSSO HAS SHARED THIS DATA AND THE POLICY APPROACHES OF IMPD NETWORK STATES WITH OTHER CHIEFS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND ALSO IN THE CHIEF ACADEMIC OFFICER/CHIEF TALENT OFFICER COLLABORATIVE. THIS GENERATED INTEREST FROM ADDITIONAL STATES AND CCSSO WAS ABLE TO ADD FIVE MORE STATES IN SUMMER 2020. THE NEW STATES HAVE ALL DEVELOPED STRATEGIC PLANS TO INCREASE ADOPTIONS OF HIGH-QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS BY DISTRICTS AND CURRICULUM-CONNECTED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR TEACHERS AND ARE IMPLEMENTING THOSE PLANS NOW.CCSSO SUPPORTED THE 2020 NATIONAL TEACHER OF THE YEAR TABATHA ROSPROY, KANSAS TEACHER OF THE YEAR FOR 2020 AND 2021, AND A 10-YEAR VETERAN KANSAS TEACHER.
