An Imagining Conversation about the 21st Century K-12 to College Experience in North Carolina

North Carolina’s Core to College grant is conducting a series of regional convenings to bring together educators from across all of North Carolina’s local districts, community colleges, the UNC system, and private colleges and universities. Working together to foster greater understanding of the Common Core State Standards, the aim of the NC Ready for Success framework is to begin a statewide dialogue around the implications of these new standards and expectations for what happens in the bridge between high school and postsecondary.

These events called “An Imagining Conversation about the 21st Century K-12 to College Experience in North Carolina” will be held across the state throughout the state in the coming months, including one on the campus of UNC-Wilmington on April 2nd. The event will be held at the Warwick Center in Warwick Ballroom #1 from 3:00PM-5:00PM. A flyer is attached with more details as well as information about how to register at: http://go.ncsu.edu/imagining.

Future convenings will be held in regions across the state throughout 2013. Details on those dates and locations will be available on the website www.ncreadyforsuccess.com in the near future.
