NSBA Conference: The Uncommon Common Core - Where Do They Stand?

Summary
In 2010, the nation's governors and state education chiefs announced the release of voluntary common core standards that aim to develop college- and career-ready high school graduates. Within a year, 45 states had signed on. But what began as an unprecedented national consensus soon devolved into controversy where it remains today. Join Patte Barth who will provide a national update on the status of common core and offer insights into their more contentious elements. Leave with some communication strategies to help you engage your community in a common core conversation based on fact, not fiction.

Thoughts
