ELA/Literacy Summer Institute 2013
Shifting Practices to Meet Common Goals with Morgan Dunton and Lee Anne Larsen
As the transition to implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts and Literacy continues, Maine Department of Education invites school/district teams to attend a two day event to explore transition issues and advance professional development plans. Implementing the CCSS requires some shifting of curriculum and instructional practices. This two day institute will provide teams with support to make these critical shifts.
