On-Demand Webinar – May 16, 2012
Implementing the Common Core Math Standards
This webinar has been sponsored by Wireless Generation.
Across the nation, big shifts are afoot as 45 states and thousands of school districts gear up to implement the Common Core State Standards in mathematics. The new standards introduce some concepts earlier for students, push aside other topics altogether to achieve greater depth, and ask students to engage in a set of eight “mathematics practices” to show their understanding, from making sense of problems to reasoning abstractly and constructing viable arguments. We’re joined by math experts in two school districts, one urban and one suburban, to share their strategies and early experiences in preparing schools for the new standards.

Improving Student Engagement Through Early Career Mapping
Underwriting for this webinar is made possible by a grant from the Lumina Foundation.
When students discover their career interests, they often get more excited about school and can see the relevance of what they are learning. Middle and high schools are increasingly requiring that counselors and teachers work with students to map out their college and career paths. To engage today’s tech-savvy student, many districts offer individual learning plan programs online. Students are given online accounts with passwords to track classes; create an electronic portfolio of grades, test scores, and work; research careers; and organize their college search. Those exercises take an investment in technology, training, and personnel. Join Education Week for this webinar that examines the challenges and benefits of mapping student learning plans.
