Ten partner states volunteered to join this effort and are involved through their state departments of education, collaborations of multiple districts, or regional education agencies working with specific schools. The partner states are California, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Mexico, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and Washington.

Each partner state—and specific districts, schools, and teachers in those states— participated in curriculum-based professional learning during Summer 2018 and Winter 2019, in preparation for the Fall and Spring field test of units of instruction in Grades 6–8.
