Core Academy
The Utah Core Standards impact every school, teacher, administrator, and student in Utah. The Core Academy is designed to provide a common platform of conversation and language throughout the state to support teachers’ and districts’ awareness and understanding of the Standards that will guide their instructional practice. Districts are encouraged to create their own plans for continued development using those teachers who have facilitated and attended the Core Academy as a resource.
The 2013 Core Academy will provide high quality instruction in mathematics, English/language arts, and elementary science to complement and support the integration of the Utah Core Standards and to ensure that all Utah students are college and career ready.
The Core Academy for summer 2013 will include the following content areas:
- Elementary Mathematics (grade bands K-1, 2-3, 4-5, and 6)
- Secondary Mathematics (grade bands 7-8, Secondary I-II, and Secondary III)
- Elementary English/Language Arts (grade bands K-1, 2-3, 4-5)
- Secondary English/Language Arts (grade bands 7-8, 9-10, 11-12)
- Elementary Science (grade bands 3-4 and 5-6)
The Core Academy will also continue providing information and professional development for site and district administrators on Wednesday of each week at each site.
