Join us to meet a panel of administrators from central office and school buildings who have created or are in the process of creating cultures across their buildings that support the common core standards. 

During this workshop, panel members will address the following questions: 

• Why and how do the standards provide support for teachers and students? 
• Why must all staff members support critical thinking and literacy standards in our schools? 
• How can we raise rigor in all subjects for all students? 
• How can we, as administrators and curriculum leaders support our teachers and students with the standards? 

Workshop attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, offer solutions, and develop plans for their own districts and schools.
