TWSBA members need to understand this reality and to work in the resulting environment 2 Port Townsend, WA ~ April 30 – May 2, 2015 Teaching With Small Boats Conference

3. What are the Common Core Standards? How do they get implemented? –National Standards, State and Local Implementation –What are intended and unintended consequences that effect TWSBA members? How can “Maritime” related projects be used to meet these Math and Language Arts standards 3 Port Townsend, WA ~ April 30 – May 2, 2015 Teaching With Small Boats Conference
