Sixty middle and high school GEAR UP educators from across the state converged on the UW campus for a summer institute, “The Common Core: Preparing GEAR UP Students for Rigor and Academic Success.” It provided an opportunity for teachers, curriculum directors, principals and GEAR UP staff to become familiar with the new Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The mathematics track was facilitated by instructors from the UW ���ߺ��� Mathematics Education Project. The English language arts track was facilitated by Sheila Valencia, UW ���ߺ��� professor in curriculum and instruction, and Lorena Guillen, a UW graduate student in curriculum and instruction.
