Special Guest: Lisa Cebelak

Nearly everyone knows the “what” of the Common Core. The central challenge is how to implement these standards effectively. Delivery of standards to schools is insufficient. The central challenges of the Common Core include the development of curriculum, engaging activities, and a variety of assessments at the classroom, building, and system levels. In addition, teachers must be prepared to challenge students to demonstrate proficiency beyond the next round of standardized assessments.

Compelling Topics Include:

• Critical Leadership Actions for Effective Implementation
• The Power of Prioritizing and “Unwrapping” the Common Core
• Instructional Practices and Resources that Impact Student Achievement
• Authentic Performance Tasks and Next Generation Assessments
