Twas twenty-fourteen and all through the state,
Not a CPlan was uncertified, not even a day late.
EdInsight displays had been analyzed with care
In hopes that IYS data soon would be there.
Teachers were collaborating, as outlined by regs,
While visions of proficiency danced in their heads.
When what to our wondering eyes should appear
But Core standards in Math, Reading and Science (so near).
With an email from the Grimes Building, Floor number three
We knew in a moment it must be the D.E.
More rapid than lunch hour, the PD it came
The leadership team whistled and called them by name,
"Now SINA, now DINA, RtI and DuFour,
On CGI, technology, SDI and the Core.
Race to the top, every classroom and hall
Now implement, implement, implement all!"
Then we heard it exclaimed, "Have a holiday bright, and
Happy New Year to all from the GHAEA H.E.L.P. Site!"
