Upcoming Education Summit: "Common Core: Demystifying And Finding Common Ground"

[Kevin Martin]

Dear Colleagues,



The Schools of Education and Public & International Affairs at Virginia International University (VIU) invite you to attend a National Summit on the "Common Core: Demystifying And Finding Common Ground" on November 1, 2014 (from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.). The event will take place at the Fairfax Government Center (12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax, VA 22035).


The goal of this summit is to work toward demystifying the Common Core State Standards Initiative and to reach a common understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the initiative and how to move forward.  The event will host three panel discussions bringing in perspectives from policy makers, school and district administrators, and teachers.  The purpose of including all three voices is to expand the national discussion on the issue by giving an opportunity for all stakeholders to be heard in regard to the implementation and development of the Common Core.  Attendees will emerge from the summit with a solid understanding of the initiative and will be empowered to affect positive change for their students, schools, and districts.


If you are interested, a flyer for the summit can be accessed here<http://newsletter.viu.edu/summit/2014_Summit_Flier.pdf> or visit our Education Summit website<http://summit.viu.edu/>. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Kevin Martin (kevin at viu.edu<mailto:kevin at viu.edu>).
