Helping Others Understand HOW to Transition to the Common Core State Standards

I had the privilege of presenting at the ACT conference this week. In this presentation I was able to share what we at Kent ISD are doing, as well as the collaborative work taking place across the state through our 44 ISD collaborative project. The goal of the presentation is to share with other educational leaders and help them understand the changes that are coming. To do this I was able to share what we are doing in Kent to help our districts understand the transformations that will be taking place with changes in instructional delivery and understanding the content changes with the new Common Core State Standards (CCSS). This educational shift is needed but will be a huge paradigm shift for many educators, at all levels. So we must work together to make this a reality. Our children deserve it. My motto is Communication + Teamwork = Success! Together, Michigan teachers can make a difference for our students.
