You are asked by your principal to run a workshop on Superintendent's Conference Day discussing the new updates to the [|NYS Learning Standards] and the recently adopted [|Common Core State Standard Initiative]. Using a combination of our wiki and the web-based presentation program [|Prezi], create and embed a 15 minute presentation into an informational wiki that will address the following:
 * What are the key components associated with each of the initiatives listed above?
 * Within each plan, what does it mean to learn and how is student success assessed?

Within your wiki, be sure to include informational links to web sites, web-based articles, or link to pdf files. You may included related video content or images.

Presentations will be made at the start of our next class.
