Teachers want the most current, accurate, and relevant curriculum materials—and now texts must also meet Common Core standards. Finding the right materials can be both difficult and time consuming. The conversation helped participants find out how one district media specialist is working together with teachers to support learning across multiple subjects and classrooms while supporting Common Core curricula.
Jan Snyder, district media specialist, Oregon City Schools, Oregon City, OR; Tim Graham, principal, Oregon City Service Learning Academy, Oregon City, OR; and David Jones, teacher, Oregon City Service Learning Academy, Oregon City, OR lead this webinar.
