Authors: David A. Farbman, David J. Goldberg, and Tiffany D. Miller

NCTL along with The Center for American Progress believe that meeting the demands associated with the Common Core will be a challenge, but high-quality expanded learning time is one of the most far-reaching implementation strategies and can enable students to successfully meet these higher expectations. The report, Redesigning and Expanding School Time to Support Common Core Implementation, looks at how high-performing expanded-time schools give teachers more time for ongoing professional development and collaboration needed to implement the Common Core standards.
