This Plan includes:
Three phases of implementation
Awareness
Transition
And Implementation
A Timeline of significant events
Suggestions and opportunities for implementation for all stakeholders:
The California Department of Education (CDE)

Instructional Resources
Assessment
Expanded Learning
Postsecondary and Business
Resources
Communication
Coalition Building
The eight guiding strategies include:
Facilitate high quality professional learning opportunities for educators to ensure that every student has access to teachers who are prepared to teach and facilitate student learning to the levels of rigor and depth required by the CA NGSS.
 Provide CA NGSS-aligned instructional resources designed to meet the diverse needs of all students.
Develop and transition to CA NGSS-aligned assessments that supports the improvement of teaching and learning and provide information that may be used for accountability.
 Collaborate with parents, guardians, and the early childhood and expanded learning communities to integrate the CA NGSS into programs and activities beyond the K–12 school setting.
Collaborate with the postsecondary and business communities and additional stakeholders to ensure that all students are prepared for success in career and college.
 Seek, create, and disseminate resources to support stakeholders as the CA NGSS systems implementation moves forward.
 Design and establish systems of effective communication regarding CA NGSS among stakeholders to continuously identify areas of need and disseminate information.
Build coalitions to ensure a consistent message and to sustain momentum during implementation.
