Hello and welcome to the 2012/2013 school year!
We at ONC BOCES are excited to offer our new "21st Century & Technology Common Core" resource center. The Common Core Standards encompass 21st century skills, such as critical thinking, technology integration, and higher order thinking skills. These are the skills students need in today's global economy. The resources will give you ideas and the tools you need to be successful.
We know this year is a year filled with angst and ambiquity for many, as the new APPR regulations are in effect, PK-8 courses are based on the Common Core standards, and new curriculum models will be roled out......
However, let's keep in mind that we are all in this together! This has been put in place to encourage growth in our profession, engage students in their own learning, and help them to be college and career ready.
It is all about life-long learning and growth for all...
