CEPTA August Meeting - Common Core

DO YOU KNOW WHAT “COMMON CORE” IS?

DO YOU KNOW HOW “COMMON CORE” WILL EFFECT YOUR CHILD’S EDUCATION?

IF YOUR ANSWER IS “NO” TO EITHER QUESTION…

COME LEARN WHAT THE FEDERAL COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS MEAN FOR YOU AND THE CHILDREN YOU LOVE.

Speakers:
- Mrs. Peg Luksik
- Honorable Ryan Mackenzie, PA House of Representatives

Former Gubernatorial candidate and graduate of Clarion University in Special Education and Elementary Education Mrs. Peg Luksik will be presenting information on Common Core. Common Core is a U.S. education initiative that seeks to bring diverse State curricula into alignment with each other by following the principles of standards-based education reform. The initiative is sponsored by the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers.
Mrs. Luksik will present information on the next federally mandated education system (Common Core) which will take the place of the failed “No Child Left Behind” program. Find out if this new system will be any better or if you think it could be even worse? Mrs. Luksik uses the federal filings submitted by Pennsylvania to present her argument of why she thinks it will be even worse.
Following Mrs. Luksik’s presentation State Representative Ryan Mackenzie will provide us with an update on the status of Common Core and how the State Legislator is responding to citizen's concerns.
