Chicago Sun-Times (IL) (10/04/12) Pollard, David

Schools districts in Illinois are working to implement the Common Core State Standards, with the State Board of Education providing professional development assistance to educators. Glenn Grieshaber, superintendent of River Grove School District 85.5, says the district will send some teachers out for training, and these teachers will share what they learned with other educators. Meanwhile, grants from the Chicago Community Trust have enabled Elmwood Park School District 401 teachers to be trained on the new math standards.
