Common Core 3.0 Matrix for Suggested Stakeholders
The Statewide Training and Education Committee (STEC) coordinates the development, revision and implementation of the
statewide Common Core. In Phase I of Common Core 3.0, STEC will identify key stakeholders who are integral to public child
welfare, but external to the statewide training system. For consideration by STEC, the matrix below provides a listing of
suggested, potential stakeholders with suggested levels of participation.

IN PHASE II, stakeholders and STEC’s member organizations will be invited to participate in structured opportunities to
provide recommendations regarding the goals of revision for content, delivery, structure and modality.
IN PHASE III, STEC will synthesize the information provided by external stakeholders and STEC’s member organizations
to formulate the main concept that will drive the development of Common Core 3.0.
IN Phase IV, the concept will be vetted by external stakeholders before development proceeds.
Two standing subcommittees of STEC will be vital to the revision process once the concept is formulated: the Content
Development Oversight Group (CDOG) will supervise curriculum development; the Macro Evaluation Team will integrate the
training evaluation component and develop evaluation tools.
