Illinois State Board of Education Talking Points Regarding Common Core Standards and New Testing

I have attached a link to several "talking points" provided by the Illinois State Board of Education regarding the new Common Core Standards and the changes that will be taking place with the state assessments. If you have any questions feel free to contact any of our building principals or myself. This is an exciting time to be a part of our district. We will soon be opening up a new Lawrenceville High School. We have a wonderful elementary school that serves as a terrific educational facility for our children and teachers. Parkview Junior High has been an innovator in the area, implementing 1:1 computing for all of the students enrolled. The new Common Core will continue to push the educators and students at CUSD #20 to excel in providing the best education possible. Preparing all students for college and careers outside of the classroom walls! Follow the link attached to view the talking points.
