Unbridled Learning Summit

I knew I could count on her.

I chose advisees over the state's Unbridled Learning Summit that happened in Louisville Monday. I secretly hoped that Susan Weston would post a story on it over at the Prichard Blog. I even bet a colleague a nickle that she would. She did. : )

The Highlights:

• Regional networks, one set for mathematics and another for English/language arts, will include several teachers sent by each district.
• Superintendents, principals, and instructional supervisors will participate in separate, but related networks.
• Overall, network participants will make a three-year commitment to eight meeting days a year, plus study before meetings and on-line discussion between meetings.
• All the networks will study a sequence of core issues: how to break down the new standards, develop classroom assessments, and organize instruction to move all students to college-and-career-readiness.
• Over the same three years, the network participants from each district will design and implement the district effort to move those same practices into district-wide classroom application.
