[Libs-Or] Webinar on 9/11 => Common Core State Standards and Public Libraries

[Jennifer Maurer]

Please pardon the cross-posting.

I've been aware of interest from public library staff in learning more about the Common Core State Standards, so I thought some of you might want to know about a free September 11th (12pm Pacific) webinar on that very topic.
Common Core State Standards and Public Libraries
At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will:

  *   Have a basic understanding of the California Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and why they were adopted (Note: California may be called out here, but ultimately, the CCSS are the same for any state that adopts them, and Oregon adopted them in 2010: http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=2860.)
  *   Know the role public libraries have in assisting schools with the CCSS
  *   Know the 6 shifts in English Language Arts and Literacy trends for students
  *   Be introduced to the specialized vocabulary and jargon used in CCSS
  *   Have three ideas or techniques on collaborating with their school district on CCSS
