2012 CPM National Conference Update:
A special Friday morning extended session is offered for administrators this year. This session will focus on issues with implementation of the Common Core State Standards at the district and site level. Administrators are then invited to attend general sessions with their teachers during the remainder of the main conference.
The two-day preconference will focus on issues of assessment. As education shifts from the pitfalls derived from high stakes testing, there is compelling research that indicates authentic formative assessment, focused on student thinking and student work, is an essential strategy for teachers. Join us to learn more.
