Discovery Education Common Core Academies

As educators across the country
grapple with what the Common Core State Standards mean for curriculum and
instruction, Discovery Education will offer Common Core Academies on August 8
and 9 to empower Napa Valley teachers and administrators to successfully
implement the new standards in their classrooms, schools and districts. The
immersive, two-day professional development events are designed to provide
teachers and administrators a better understanding of the key components of the
Common Core State Standards, strategies for effectively integrating the
standards into curriculum and instruction, and methods for aligning assessments
to the standards. The events will be held at Napa Unified School District.

standards, Discovery Education is offering the following Common Core Academies
to Napa Valley teachers and administrators:
