Day 33 Claudia Brown, NRHS Got Common Core?




Got Common Core?
If you do, then you are surely prioritizing standards, designing rigorous, content-rich curriculum as well as robust assessments while pondering pre and post…wait…post and pre tests, revisiting performance tasks, unwrapping standards (one at a time, please), checking for understanding, placing data teams everywhere, and building educational fences (and that’s a good thing!)

If you are a teacher, teacher-leader or an administrator, you are probably both overwhelmed and excited about the possibilities opened to you by renowned speaker Larry Ainsworth at today’s conference.  If you are a parent or student, you too may be overwhelmed but might be excited because there is going to be some serious assessing FOR learning and then some assessing OF learning.

Mr. Ainsworth, a national leader in education, offered North Reading’s attendees a day filled with all that is needed to prepare our students for college and careers and encouraged trying the above ideas now while we prepare for the goal of full readiness in 2014-2015.
