Are You Piecing Together Your Curriculum From Various Sources?
Or are you using a single, coherent curriculum? Find out what your peers are doing by checking out "Developing and Discovering Quality Curriculum in a Google World," a panel discussion from noon-1:30 p.m. EDT next Monday, June 13, at the National Press Club. The event is sponsored by the non-profit Achieve and will feature the RAND Corporation's American Teacher Panel survey findings on what materials teachers are using. Panelists include Louisiana State Superintendent John White, study co-author Julia Kaufman, and Ashley Bessicks, a teacher at Phelps High School in Washington, D.C. If you are in the DC-metro area and would like to attend, email vcooper@achieve.org or call 202-419-1568. The event will also be live-streamed and archived, so anyone can watch it anywhere, anytime.
