The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) hosted the “It Takes a City: Achieving Higher Standards” LEA Institute on Friday, Feb. 19, 2016 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The Institute focused on supporting educators and school leaders in helping all students achieve DC learning standards.

Dynamic breakout sessions throughout the day focused on:

• ELA/Literacy Common Core State Standards
• Mathematics Common Core State Standards
• Next Generation Science Standards
• English Language Development Standards for English Language Learners
• DC Common Core Early Learning Standards

Presenters provided participants with evidence-based instructional strategies that will support all students, pre-K through high school, including special populations, in accessing, making progress in, and mastering DC’s high academic standards. Introductory sessions were also provided for newer educators to introduce them to the DC learning standards.

Please review the final program to learn more about the event.
