Common Core and Students with
Disabilities
Presented by - Kate Gerson,
Senior Fellow for Educator Engagement and The Common Core
Our guest presenter, Kate Gerson will discuss Common Core, what it is asking of all students and the ways in which we can support students with disabilities. She will talk about the shifts in instruction demanded by the standards. When educators teach to these shifts, students are able to master number sense, the analysis of complex texts, and the ability to develop solid arguments and informational essays.

She has a background as an English teacher and school administrator. Kate has consulted nationally on quality instruction with a focus on teaching and learning at all levels in the system.
