WHO:  State Superintendent of Schools Lillian Lowery
             Maryland PTA President Ray Leone
             Nancy Highsmith, Interim Superintendent, Calvert County Public Schools
             Steven Van Rees, Master Teacher, Calvert County Public Schools

WHAT:   The Maryland State Department of Education and the Maryland PTA have been holding a series of Regional Information Sessions on the Common Core State Standards, providing an opportunity to meet and hear remarks from State Superintendent Lowery, PTA President Leone, and others.  The audience will have a chance to submit questions in writing about the Standards.  The Calvert County session is the final one scheduled on the new Standards.

These sessions provide parents and the public-at-large an understanding of Maryland’s new College-Ready and Career-Ready Standards. The Standards establish a rigorous set of shared goals and expectations for what students should understand and be able to do in grades K-12 in order to be prepared for success after high school graduation.  The Standards form the foundation for Maryland's new State curriculum frameworks, which are being implemented in all Maryland schools this school year.
