The New Hampshire Minimum Standards, or Ed 306, have become a controversial topic in our schools and in the press. Yet, most of the public does not understand what these standards represent and why they are critically important for our students. On this podcast, we chat with Christine Downing, Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment for SAUs 32, 75, and 100, to help us unravel the “306s.”

Information on Christine’s Ed306 sessions
The Minimum School Approval Standards (ED Rules 306) are being reviewed and updated. These rules impact curriculum, instruction, and assessment at the local level in all grade levels and many content areas. Specific review sessions are being conducted to obtain feedback directly from practicing educators in our local schools. Below is a list of sessions and locations along with registration links for each session. These sessions provide educators with the opportunity to learn about ED Rules 306, impact these rules have on teaching, review suggested changes, and provide feedback on the revisions. All feedback will be synthesized and presented on behalf of NH educators at a state board meeting in late September. There is no cost for this session and educators will receive 2.5 hours of professional learning credit. This session is being facilitated by Christine Downing, current Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment for Cornish, Plainfield and Grantham School Districts; and former school improvement coach, Common Core Consultant, and Mathematics Specialist for NH Department of Education.This is an opportunity for educators to increase their own knowledge and application of how ED 306 standards support teaching and learning, and provide important feedback on the future of public school expectations.
