Hello Everyone,
We are very excited to announce that the Uncommon Voices blog has moved locations. We are now located at http://nysculturaled.org/uncommon-voices. This is the official New York State Education Department (NYSED) website for Cultural Education, developed and maintained by the Northeast Comprehensive Center through a contract with the US Department of Education to support the implementation of the New York State P-12 Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS). The resources featured on the website make it easy to experience the wealth of cultural and educational programs and events New York State has to offer and to apply these experiences directly to the K-12 curriculum. Some of the website features include a list of cultural institutions, upcoming events, open educational resources, lesson plans, a social collaboration space, and the Uncommon Voices blog. We thank you for your contributions to this blog and look forward to collaborating with you in the future at NYSculturaled.org!
August 11 & 12, 2015, Albany, New York.
