Willowbrook Principal serves as emcee of math symposium at COD

On Oct. 31, Willowbrook Principal Dan Krause served as emcee of a symposium at College of DuPage (COD) that discussed shifts in math curriculum, assessment and instruction.

The symposium was for high school and college staff members and administrators. It consisted of three panels that focused on the new Common Core State Standards and the new Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) assessments. Panelists shared strategies for integrating the new standards into the curriculum, as well as how to support students throughout the learning process. Special attention was placed on the transition from high school to the post-secondary environment as this shift occurs.
