Liberty Common school began the Colorado Core Knowledge Network during the 2013-2014 school year. The inaugural Core Knowledge Networking Conference took place in our very own elementary building. Since then, the conference has been a recurring event held at Core Knowledge schools throughout the state. This event is an excellent opportunity for professional development for CK teachers. These passionate teachers can get together, share ideas, and support one another to ensure we are all teaching to CK curriculum to fidelity.
The power of networking is in its simplicity: get together, share ideas, and improve each other in the process. The more schools involved, the more ideas we will share, and the better we will all become. We hope you can join us in working together to make our schools great.
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” —Helen Keller
