The former Colorado Core Knowledge Regional Center was started in 1999 to
help enhance the quality of existing Core Knowledge schools and increase the
quantity of Core Knowledge schools in Colorado. The former Regional Center is
now run by the National Core Knowledge Coordinator of Colorado, Holly Hensey.
Holly has been working with the Core Knowledge schools in Colorado since the
Regional Center was opened as the Training Director and then the Regional
Director. There are currently over 60 schools in Colorado using the Core Knowledge
Sequence at various levels of implementation. With the existence of the Regional
Center and the National Core Knowledge Coordinator of Colorado, the Core
Knowledge public, private, and charter schools in Colorado have developed a
strong network. The activities and services provided by
the National Coordinator impact not only the administrators, teachers, and
staff members in the schools, but also the thousands of students attending those
schools. It has been found that additional training and ongoing support to
improve performance at experienced Core Knowledge schools through assisting
teachers in gaining the intellectual tools they need to improve how and what
they teach is critical. We believe this ongoing support is the key to quality
enhancement and to wider spread of Core Knowledge schools. The National Core
Knowledge Coordinator of Colorado offers "closer to home" technical
support, Core Knowledge-related events, and many other services to promote and
support the implementation of the Core Knowledge Sequence to beginning and
experienced schools in Colorado. |
