COMMON CORE TASK FORCE LISTENING SESSIONS FORMED

Please read below, a series of listening sessions have been prepared to get imput from parents, grandparents and all concerned about the effects of Common Core aligned curriculum and assessments. 

From the Common Core Task Force Diocese of St. Augustine

Bishop Estévez has tasked a committee to study the Common Core State Standards and develop a position statement for the diocese concerning this issue. The committee would like to hear your comments and your ideas on this topic. You may find the standards at corestandards.org. This will be a true listening session and not a discussion or presentation. Due to time constraints and so that everyone has a chance to be heard, comments will be limited to three minutes. You are invited to attend any one of five listening sessions to be held at the following locations:

Monday, March 16 – 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church-Haut Hall, Orange Park
Monday, March 23 – 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
