Napa Teachers and Administrators to Learn Strategies to Implement the Common Core State Standards Aug. 8-9

By HEIDI MAY

As educators begin implementing the Common Core State Standards into their curriculum and instruction, I wanted to share with you that Discovery Education is hosting Common Core Academies on Thursday, Aug. 8 and Friday, Aug. 9 at American Canyon High School to empower Napa teachers and administrators to successfully implement the new standards in their classrooms, schools and districts. The immersive, two-day professional development event is designed to provide teachers and administrators a better understanding of the key components of the Common Core State Standards, strategies for effectively integrating the standards into curriculum and instruction, and methods for aligning assessments to the standards.
