Cobb County School District is developing an implementation plan for the district. There are several committees that are dedicated to this plan. There are representatives from ESOL on every committee ensuring that the needs and the voices of the ELs, their parents and the ESOL teachers are represented in Cobb each step of the way. More information will be posted in the "Common Core" category of the ESOL Blog as it becomes available.
