DE State PTA Receives Grant to Train on Common Core Standards!
The Delaware State Parent Teacher Association will receive funding from the National PTA to train its members, educators, administrators and community leaders on the implementation of Common Core Standards in classrooms.
The Delaware State PTA is part of the National PTA’s Common Core State Standards Initiative. Through its involvement, the Delaware State PTA will meet with key state and local decision-makers, engage the media and train parents with key advocacy skills to support the standards.
