Colorado Core Knowledge Network
Liberty Common School began the Colorado Core Knowledge© Network Conference in 2013. Since then, the conference has been held annually at Core Knowledge© schools throughout the state.
This gathering serves as a prime platform for educators and staff to engage in enriching professional-development opportunities. Educators converge, exchanging ideas and fostering a collaborative environment to uphold the integrity of the Core Knowledge© curriculum.
Developed by E.D. Hirsch Jr., the Core Knowledge© curriculum is a comprehensive educational framework designed to provide students with a rich and coherent foundation of knowledge across various subjects.
