Connecting to the Common Core Workshop: Grades 4-8

Overview

• Art Sulzer, Moderator• Renee Marazon, Maritime Academy of Toledo• Joe Youcha, Building To Teach• Practical Examples of Maritime Related Math and

Language Art Activites• The Common Core Standards are being used to steer

U.S. K-12 education. TWSBA members need to understand this reality and to work in the resulting environment

What are the Common Core Standards?

• How do they get implemented?– National Standards, State and Local Implementation– What are intended and unintended consequences that effect

TWSBA members?

• How can “Maritime” related projects be used to meet these Math and Language Arts standards
