We’ve read the Core, but we still have questions: How do you integrate the Core with your current reading program? Your current chapter book or basal readers? Your current curriculum? How do we as teachers pull the CCSS into what we are already doing?

Come join us at the UMWP for a four-day workshop focusing on individualized, practical application of the CCSS standards to the Mississippi classroom. This workshop is not intended to be an introduction to the CCSS; rather this workshop is for teachers who are ready to take the Core to the next level of implementation.

Participant fee will include participation in the Common Core Conference on Wednesday, June 19th.

As teachers, many of us feel overwhelmed when thinking about how to incorporate Common Core Standards into our classrooms. The PARCC Model Content Framework demonstrates the conceptual models for planning but provides little instruction on how to implement. This interactive workshop will help teachers build thematic cross-curricular units for instructional purposes while keeping an eye toward the CCSS standardized tests.

This three day workshop will focus on the integration of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, informational texts and visual texts for today’s classroom. Teachers will delve into the analysis of each genre and examine the connections made to the Common Core State Standards. Together we will discover together the reading and writing requirements that students need to be college and career ready.
