Q&A
Join us February 15 for an important conversation about Ohio’s adoption and implementation of the Common Core Academic Standards!
Academic content standards define what students should know and be able to do, and provide guidance to teachers and schools on content and instruction. Ohio’s schools will soon move from the current standards in mathematics and English language arts to more rigorous standards developed and embraced by a consortium of 46 states and the District of Columbia. Ohio joined other states in adopting these new standards, and the aligned assessments that go with them, to help ensure that Buckeye students learn the knowledge and skills needed for success in college, careers, and life.
Join us February 15 to learn:
- How and why the Common Core and more rigorous assessments are necessary to improve the educational outcomes and life chances of Buckeye students;
- The implementation timeline, challenges and opportunities associated with the Common Core standards and aligned assessments; and
- Why the Common Core standards are needed for the state’s children and their collective future.
Speakers include:
- Melissa Cardenas, director of academic quality & assurances at the Ohio Board of Regents
- Mike Cohen, president of Achieve;
- Steve Dackin, superintendent of Reynoldsburg City Schools;
- Chester E. Finn, Jr., president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute;
- Eric Gordon, CEO of Cleveland Metropolitan Schools;
- Stan Heffner, state superintendent of public instruction;
- Debe Terhar, president of the State Board of Education; and
- Deb Tully, director of professionals issues for the Ohio Federation of Teachers
