This year's Summer College for Teachers is holding sessions in both June and August.  The session on June 4th and 5th was well received by teachers from Red Bank, Metuchen, Bayonne, Keansburg, and Roxbury Township.  We had a lively exchange on the Common Core State Standards for English and worked on developing strategies for incorporating complex, non-fiction texts into the curriculum.   We look forward to working more with our new colleagues in the coming year.
