Gearing Up for the Common Core: a video clip forum

March 29, 2013

On behalf of Northeast TURN, I am pleased to invite you to participate in our first online forum: Gearing Up for the Common Core, featuring video clips from a session by the same name presented by Sandra Alberti, Student Achievement Partners, at our March 1-2, 2013, meeting.

Each week, during the month of April, we will lauch a new thread/topic related to CCSS implementation:

April 1 - Clarifying the Common Core StandardsApril 8 - College and Career ReadinessApril 15 - Standards vs StandardizationApril 22 - Assessments Worthy of InstructionApril 29 - Owning the Practice of Teaching

Each thread will be introduced by a 3-5 minute video and a written prompt to frame the key idea(s) from the clip. The threads will remain accessible so you can return and review the ideas and resources as often as you like. And, the whole thing is password projected, so you can feel confident that you are among friends (you'll be able to see the list of participants).

Register HERE.

As a registered participant, you will receive email notifcation for the launch of each thread - with a copy of the prompt, a link to the video, and login instructions. You have the option of receiving copies of all participant responses via email as they are posted, or accessing the forum to read and respond to the responses (preference is indicated in the registration form).

Looking forward to seeing you in the forum.

Zack Wiseman, Virtual Community Organizer for Northeast TURN
