- What a rigorous curriculum is and how to create, sequence, and pace such a curriculum.
- Why seeing the 'big picture' connections first is essential to beginning curriculum design.
- How to lay the foundational steps for designing a rigorous pre-K&;12 curriculum.
- How to design a grade- or course-specific curricular unit of study, from start to finish.
- How to use formative assessments and data analysis to guide instruction before, during, and after each unit.
- How leaders can organize, implement, and sustain this model throughout the school and/or school system.
 Greater applicability to every state&;s unique set of learning standards, through Standards examples that illustrate each step.
- An important new focus on relevance in the design of rigorous curricular units of study, meaning the inclusion of real-world problems that are both predictable and unpredictable, situations that afford students the opportunity to apply their learning in realistic contexts
- Expansion of content to include &;lessons learned&; by school and district leaders who are in years 1, 2, and 3 of RCD implementation
- Success stories from school systems that have implemented the RCD model and experienced improved student learning on state exams
