EWA is at the University of Colorado Denver today for the final seminar of our regional series on covering standards and assessments in the era of the Common Core.

You can follow along on Twitter (hashtag: #EWACore) with top tweets expected from my EWA colleagues: Caroline Hendrie, Erik Robelen, Lori Crouch, and Mikhail Zinshteyn. (And me too, of course!)

In the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing video, podcasts and guest blogs from the sessions. And you can keep tabs on the latest Common Core news, reports, and research with our EWA Topics Page.
