Minnesota Meeting

Aligning Pre-K to Grade 3 Practices into the K-12 System

Please save the date for an upcoming conference Thursday, June 23, 2011, at MDE featuring Dr. Jerry Weast, Superintendent of Montgomery County Schools, Maryland and Dr. Kristie Kauerz, Program Director, pre-K to grade 3, Harvard Graduate School of Education. This conference is an opportunity for superintendents, principals, directors of teaching and learning, early childhood coordinators and other school decision-makers to learn from these two top experts in the country on how to align and incorporate pre-K to grade 3 practices into the K-12 system. If you have questions, please contact Mike Brown at mike.p.brown@state.mn.us.

I have a question! Why did Montgomery County Public Schools go from being the tops in Maryland to second tier (based on those pesky MSA scores)? Do those folks in Minnesota want to learn about how our graduation rate has fallen? or how Jerry Weast has decimated instruction for both gifted students and special education students? Implemented a one-size-fits-all curriculum?
