Quick explanation of CCSS
=10:30 - Break= . =10:45 - Schooling for the 21st Century: Common Core and PBL= In this follow-up to her opening keynote, Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach focuses on real-world examples of learning environments that extend the walls of the traditional classroom, offering new possibilities and igniting a passion for learning. Evidence based on exemplary practices in education suggests that new models of teaching and learning have the power to improve educational outcomes dramatically. Come learn how to have it all—including both creativity and rigor—when delivering Common Core curriculum. The secret: Focus on student passion and interest. . =12:00 - Lunch= . =1:00- 1:45 - The 21st Century Instructional Leader= As the people of the world are becoming increasingly connected, the nature, use, ownership, and purpose of knowledge are changing in profound ways. Our goal as educational leaders is to leverage these connections and changes as powerful means to improving teaching and learning in our schools. We will discuss walk throughs, formative assessment, and more. . =1:45- 3:00 - Leverage the Wisdom of the Crowd= If using technology is so easy, why is implementation so difficult? Preparing students for the 21st Century calls for collective action of all stakeholders and this workshop looks at the steps needed to build momentum and garner buy-in from the entire school community. Participants will discuss ways to plan collectively and strategically for the future, develop a professional development plan for 21st Century skill building, and make sure all students have equitable access to a 21st century education.
