WVHS Student Artwork Chosen to Represent Common Core Standards
As a part of its plan to integrate Common Core Standards –
nationally recognized state standards in English language arts
(ELA) and mathematics for grades K-12 - into instruction,
Warwick Valley High School drew upon the creative talents of
teachers and students to develop promotional posters. Eliza
Bender, a WVHS senior, designed the school's Common Core
Standards poster based on an idea conceived by the Physical
Education teachers, who came up with a crude visual
representation of the four anchors in reading. Eliza then took
that draft and created created a painting that was reproduced
into posters to hang in each classroom and serve as a reminder
of the Common Core Standards Anchors in Reading. The Common Core
State Standards (CCSS) Initiative was a joint effort by the
National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA
Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO)
