Common Core State Standards Webinar: What Are They and What Could They Mean To You?

On May 3, 2010, the ACE Center for Policy Analysis, in partnership with Achieve, hosted a free webinar for the higher education community: The Common Core State Standards—What Are They and What Could They Mean To You?

Three distinguished speakers (listed below) provided an overview of the Common Core State Standards, its origins and importance, and its potential implications for higher education. About 400 participants from various states and regions tuned into the one-and-half-hour-long webinar. Participants include four-year and two-year campus senior leaders, faculty, administrators, students, the State Higher Education Executive Officers (SHEEOs), national and regional higher education associations, nonprofit think tank groups, and testing companies.

We at ACE would like to thank all attendees for their participation in the webinar as well as their feedback sent through the evaluation survey. We appreciate the patience and understanding of the many attendees who sent us their questions and comments during the session, but due to time limits we could not answer all of their questions.

For those who were unable to join the webinar or wish to access a recording of the webinar or the panelists' presentation slides, please follow the links below.
