DESCRIPTION
Teachers and libraries need to know that the material they choose and use meets the requirements of common core state standards. This webcast will help you understand how teachers and librarians select books for classroom use and school library collections. This webcast will help you effectively identify, develop, package, and promote content that meet common core requirements. The implementation of Common Core State Standards is changing how teachers and librarians select classroom material, with significant consequences for publishers' product development and marketing programs. If you are a publisher, this series of three webcasts will help you understand educator needs, provide guidance for developing and marketing content that teachers and librarians will look for, and optimize its discoverability by showing you how to include details of a title's conformance with common core state standards in its metadata.
