To ensure that all district educators have a voice in finalizing the selected and PK-12 aligned Essential Standards, those who were not directly involved in the process from the beginning need to learn the rationale for prioritizing standards and be given the opportunity to review the near-final drafts and offer their feedback so that the published Essential Standards truly reflect a “shared-ownership” of both the process and product. How to achieve this involvement of all “stakeholders” is the focus of Chapter 3, the final two steps in the Essential Standards six-step process.
