As schools prepare to transition from their current educational standards to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), it is expected that educators from some states will have questions on the implementation process. This February, these teachers and school officials will be able to attend a national conference in Louisville, Kentucky.
The forum, titled Architecture for Implementing the Common Core Standards: Strategies, Partnerships & Progress, will be co-hosted by the Council on Postsecondary Education and the College Readiness Partnership from February 27-29. It is fitting that the event will be held in Louisville, as Kentucky was the first state to adopt the CCSS on February 10, 2010.
While the first day of the forum will be dedicated to helping Kentucky-based educators, the remaining days of the conference will be open to school officials from other College Readiness Partnership states, such as Massachusetts, Oregon and Wisconsin.
Those who attend the forum at the Marriott Louisville Downtown Hotel will hear from higher education leaders, as well as Kentucky school officials who will share their CCSS successes as well as the challenges they have faced during the implementation process.
Is this event open to the public? I would like to attend.
