Transitioning to the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics

Date: Wednesday, June 08, 2011
Time: 2:00pm ET / 11:00am PT
Duration: 1 hour
Sponsor: Pearson

In an ever-changing education landscape, a shift is taking place in academic standards. Formally released on June 1, 2010, the Common Core State Standards Initiative provides teachers and parents with a common understanding of what mathematics students are expected to learn as well as appropriate benchmarks for all students, regardless of where they live. The challenge for educators is understanding how we got here and how to translate this initiative into action at the classroom and school level. Join Dr. Francis (Skip) Fennell, current L. Stanley Bowlsbey Professor of Education and Graduate and Professional Studies at McDaniel College and Past President of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, as he examines the Common Core State Standards for mathematics and their practical application. This webinar is targeted to both curriculum staff and administrators concerned with the transition to Common Core State Standards.

After attending this informative webinar, you'll have:

		An understanding of the foundations behind the Common Core State Standards for mathematics
		An outline of what's new and different in terms of the new expectations in mathematical competency
		A clear view of expectations for both students and teachers in the transition to Common Core State Standards for mathematics
		Practical tips for processing and implementing new standards
		Ideas on how technology can facilitate the transition
