This coming weekend in Orlando, the Center for College and Career Readiness will be hosting a two-day conference National Common Core Training conference for educators, school board members, and administrators “to provide high quality, in-depth, professional development opportunities which focus on demands of preparing students to be college and career ready. The conference will address how schools and districts can successfully transition to the Common Core Standards…”
