In addition to celebrating outgoing board member Richard Glenn and outgoing President Diane Creasey, MPUSD board members will get a glimpse on planned changes mandated by the Common Core Standards. California decided to adopt the Common Core Standards in 2010, which are a series of academic goals aimed at preparing students for college or the workforce.
From tonight's agenda: "MPUSD teachers will be trained on what CCSS means in terms of preparing students to be college and career ready, and the importance of a collective effort on the part of students, teachers, administrators, parents, and the community to insist on the types of educational experiences that the standards require."
The meeting starts at 7 p.m at the Instructional Materials Center, 540 Canyon Del Rey, Del Rey Oaks. To learn more about the Common Core Standards, click here.
