On June 2nd, 2010 the State of Wisconsin adopted the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics. The Common Core reflects a national effort to provide fewer, more specific and more rigorous curriculum standards to better prepare students to be college and career ready in the 21st century. Within the next 3 years the Common Core will replace the Wisconsin Model Academic Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics. This two-day workshop will provide an overview of the newly adopted Common Core State Standards (CCSS), as well as a guided process that can be used to begin grade level investigations and classroom adoption. Participants will gain an understanding of the CCSS underpinnings and have the opportunity to reflect with other educators about the shift from the current Wisconsin Academic Standards to the new Common Core.
