This event takes place on Tuesday, May 1, 2012, 2 to 3 p.m. ET. The Common Core State Standards in English/language arts make new demands on both students and teachers. They ask that students become masters at "close reading" of text, build their argumentation skills, and be able to marshal evidence to defend their positions.
