= = = SPED Staff Meeting - October 30th =

Curriculum Training: English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects and Mathematics
We will examine the new frameworks in ELA and Math to discover what changes have been made to our frameworks with the adoption of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). We will conduct an overview to the frameworks and discuss how you can model usage of these changes in your classroom practice. We will discuss key terms, shifts in grade level standards, the layout of the standards, and the pedagogy shifts that align to both ELA and Math standards. We will examine how the standards of mathematical practice are key to shifting into this new era of performance-based assessments.

=Welcome Back Instructors!= 2013-2014: Bring it on!

Over to the left you will see the page menu. If you are looking for the MCAS presentation, 3rd bullet down.
