About this webinar:

With the goal of better preparing students for college and careers, 45 states have adopted the Common Core State Standards in both English Language Arts and Math.  As more schools begin to implement the Common Core, afterschool programs have the opportunity to support the learning that takes place during the school day and align programming to bolster students’ academic growth and achievement.

Guest speakers include a mix of teachers and afterschool leaders who are currently working to integrate Common Core within local afterschool programs.  This webinar will introduce the afterschool field to the Common Core and highlight the role afterschool programs are playing to support learning around these standards.

  • Jen Wheeler; Teaching and Learning Manager, Baltimore Urban Debate League
