The new year has arrived. It is 2015 and soon the winter break will be over. Students, teachers, and parents get ready to head back to school once again. There will be many stories to exchange over what took place during winter break, the people, the food, the places, the holidays, etc.
As we begin a new month, and the new year, it is a good idea to spend some time to plan ahead and get organized for the return to the classrooms. There are 6 months left until the end of the year, and there will be plenty of events and activities that will fill up the calendars. What fieldtrips will the class be embarking upon? When will students be tested on the standards? Are there any students who may be at risk of failing if there is no support made available for them? These, and many other questions, will be in the minds of educators everywhere.
MRCR Education focuses this month on the 5th Annual SF Bay Area STEAM Colloquium on Friday, January 30th, 2015. This event (STEAM Colloquium), presented by the Contra Costa County Office of Education, is a great opportunity for educators from throughout the Bay Area to learn more about STEAM Education, Common Core State Standards, Next Generation Science Standards, and many other topics. Be sure to look for the MRCR table at the Resource Fair. Follow the #steamcolloq hashtag on twitter for more info.
Hope to see you there!
