Common Core Forum at Munger Cottage

March 23, 2015

Common Core Forum with Dr. Peg Luksik
Monday, March 23 at 6:30 pm
Munger Cottage, Cornwall NY

In the discussion of Common Core, there seem to be more questions than answers. What do the words "College and Career Ready" actually mean for our kids? How are the standards actually implemented in a classroom? Are the standards truly rigorous, or is that just a marketing technique? During this informative evening Dr. Luksik will use the government's own documents to provide real answers to these questions and more.
