This document discusses how the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) will impact K-12 teachers and students. It outlines fundamental shifts in English/Language Arts and math, including a focus on informational text, building knowledge through text rather than activities, increasing text complexity, and emphasizing writing from sources and academic vocabulary. In math, there is a focus on fewer concepts taught more deeply, coherence across grades, fluency in basic skills, deep understanding, and real-world problem solving. Assessment will involve computer-based testing measuring skills and content. Effective teachers will facilitate learning, leverage technology, and help students develop digital literacy skills to work collaboratively in flexible learning environments.
The document discusses different business process improvement methodologies including Kaizen, Lean, Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma, and Design for Six Sigma. It provides definitions and comparisons of each methodology. The key points are:
- Kaizen focuses on continuous incremental improvements through standardizing processes. Lean aims to eliminate waste and non-value added activities to increase process speed. Six Sigma uses data to reduce defects and variability.
- Lean Six Sigma combines the approaches of both Lean and Six Sigma. Design for Six Sigma ensures new products and processes meet customer expectations from the start.
- There is no single "best" methodology as it depends on an organization's needs. A combination of approaches may be most effective. Process mapping

Have you ever thought about scaling Scrum? Scrum is nice and beautiful framework for one team - a team that is working closely together, is self-managing, cross-functional with T-shaped competences and has shared responsibility for teams work. But what if you want more of this beauty? How should you scale?
I will explain basics behind Scrum scaling framework called LeSS (Large Scale Scrum) and share some experience about implementing it.
