4MAT and the Common Core Standards: Practical Strategies for Re-Framing Teaching to Improve Student Learning Wednesday, October 24 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. CST The common core requires student to gain competence in those skills that will be most sought after in the workforce of the future: analytic reasoning, creative problem solving, and navigating and resolving issues by using multiple sources and perspectives. This requires teachers to change the tasks they are asking students to perform and reconsider how students are being assessed. This webinar will provide a road map for navigating these standards and for using the 4MAT design process to help achieve them. We will provide step by step guidance to teachers on how to construct these higher level learning experiences. This session will be extremely valuable to any teacher, educational administrator or Curriculum Developer who is striving to achieve the outcomes that are embedded in the common core. Special Participant Bonus: As a special bonus, every participant will receive a 30 day trial in 4MATION software, a tool for creating and sharing high impact instruction and for aligning units to the Common Core Standards.
