D.  \nUniversity of Pennsylvania  \nRoughly seven years have passed since the majority of states adopted college-­‐ and career-­‐readiness (CCR) standards. Some states adopted the Common Core State  \nStandards while others adopted their own versions of CCR standards.  \nBecause teachers are the primary implementers of CCR standards, we wanted to understand the challenges they face in using the standards in the classroom, the resources they find to be most helpful, and their attitudes toward the standards. This brief examines these issues using 2016–2017 survey data from Texas, Ohio, and Kentucky1 .  \n1. What challenges do teachers face in implementing CCR standards?  \n2. What resources do teachers find helpful in implementing CCR standards?  \n3. To what extent do teachers think that the standards are appropriate, rigorous, and flexible?  \nQuestion 1: What challenges do teachers face in implementing college-and career-readiness standards?  \nTo measure challenges, we provided a list of ten challenges, drawn from previous studies of standards implementation. We asked teachers to rate these items on a scale of 1 to 4, where 1 = not a challenge, 2 = a minor challenge, 3 = a moderate challenge, and 4 = a major challenge. When averaged across teachers, ratings were all between 2 (a minor challenge) and 3 (a moderate challenge), with similar results in all three states.  \n1 A note about methodology: Survey data are representative of each state. To identify important differences across teachers of different subjects and types of students, we sampled math and English language arts teachers, teachers of students with disabilities, and teachers of English language learners in both elementary and high school. Where differences are reported, they are all statistically significant. Visit c-­‐sail.org to learn more about our sampling methodology and survey analysis.  \nCenter on Standards, Alignment, Instruction, and Learning (C-SAIL) 1  \nTOP CHALLENGES ARE RELATED TO STUDENTS AND PARENTS, NOT POLICY  \nThough class size and planning time receive a lot of attention from policymakers, teachers reported these as minor challenges. They were far more concerned with issues related to individual student differences and parental support than they were with structural issues related to time, resources, and leadership. In all three states, a wide range of student abilities was the top challenge, closely followed by inadequate student preparation in prior grades (see Figure 1) .  \nFigure 1: Top 5 Challenges, All Teachers  \nThe percentages above are teachers who saw these challenges as either moderate or major.  \nWe then considered whether different types of teachers—specifically, teachers of English language arts (ELA) and mathematics, teachers of students with disabilities (SWD), and teachers of English language learners (ELL)—experienced different challenges. Comparisons between ELA and math teachers revealed no differences, but we found several differences for SWD and ELL teachers compared to ELA and math teachers, and these differences vary by state (see Figure 2) .  \nCenter on Standards, Alignment, Instruction, and Learning (C-SAIL) 2  \nFigure 2: SWD and ELL Challenges by State Compared to General Educators  \nWhen looking at challenges by geography and grade, we found a few significant results across all three states, though the top challenges were still ranked in similar order. The differences were largest when comparing student preparation in prior grades by geography as well as when comparing student attendance by grade.  \n1. Compared to suburban teachers, urban teachers reported greater challenges in:  \no Student preparation in prior grades (a difference of +0 . 28 on the 1–4 scale)  \no A lack of support from parents (+0 . 21)  \no Attendance (+0 . 21)  \nCenter on Standards, Alignment, Instruction, and Learning (C-SAIL) 3  \n2.
