We have all received the information loud and clear: The Common Core State Standards have raised the bar. By now, we also have a pretty good idea of what the standards demand.
However, our students are not pole vaulters! We need to construct a ladder that will help them reach the new bar.
Our spring conference will provide an opportunity for us to work together in designing a blueprint for that ladder.
We will identify instructional methods that will equip our students to meet the increased demands of the Common Core, focusing on the Standards for Informational Text, which represent a significant shift from previous standards and classroom practices.
This conference will involve three break out sessions geared towards grade level bands:
- Grades K-2, Presenter: Maria Sobel
- Grades 3-5, Presenter: Vicki Dugan
- Grades 6-8, Presenter: Maria Matlack
