In this day-long session at the NHSA October Institute participants reviewed the importance, challenges, and benefits of aligning early education with the continuum of Common Core State Standards, now used across the nation. Working in small groups, participants reviewed the latest draft of the project and provided additional viewpoints and expertise.
