What is this stuff…? Navigating Educational Standards Alignment

Wednesday, July 19, 10:00 a.m. CT

Amanda Lanum, Educator and Interpreter, Eisenhower Birthplace State Historic Site

TEKS, Common Core, Content Area Standards...they go by many names, but the purpose of these educational standards is the same: to provide a common set of educational goals for both teachers and students. These standards are the driving force behind what teachers and other educational institutes cover both inside and outside of the classroom. How should museums and historic sites utilize these standards? In this free webinar, you'll learn how to find and understand educational standards, the importance of using them to develop and market your programs, and best practices for interdisciplinary engagement.
