One- Or Two-Day Common Core Seminar
Consultant: Katie McKnight
Sample agendas for one- and two-day Common Core Seminars.
There are key differences in the CCSS that teachers, principals, and administrators need to understand. The one-day seminar will build participants' understanding of the common core standards to align standards with teaching and learning activities that improve student achievement as well as Common Core based formative assessments. The two-day seminar will build on the one-day seminar by also exploring and addressing questions like:
- How does our school create a common language to discuss the Standards?
- What impact do the Common Core Standards have on teaching and learning in the 21st Century?
- How can the Standards aligned to the curriculum?
- How do we build formative assessments that evaluate the rigorous skills articulated in the Common Core Standards?
