As educators across the country grapple with what the Common Core State Standards mean for curriculum and instruction, Discovery Education will offer Common Core Academies on July 9 and 10 to empower Philadelphia-area teachers and administrators to successfully implement the new standards in their classrooms, schools and districts. The immersive, two-day professional development events are designed to provide teachers and administrators a better understanding of the key components of the Common Core State Standards, strategies for effectively integrating the standards into curriculum and instruction, and methods for aligning assessments to the standards. The events will be held at DeSales University.
The Common Core State Standards, which have been adopted by 45 states, provide teachers and administrators a consistent framework for the knowledge and skills students need to be college and career ready. To support educators in implementing the standards, Discovery Education is offering the following Common Core Academies to Philadelphia-area teachers and administrators:
