#StopCommonCore Twitter Rally
Parent-Led Reform (@ParentLedReform) will host a Twitter Rally on April 16, 2013 which will start will go from 12:00p-2:00p (EST). We will discuss how the Common Core State Standards effect your family, community and schools? We invite you to participate.
There will be an expert panel and several organizations that will discuss #StopCommonCore. So far I know the panel will consist of:
- Emmett McGroarty of American Principles Project (@approject – Emmett will use this handle)
- Joy Pullmann ( @JoyPullmann) an education research fellow at The Heartland Institute (@HeartlandInst) and editor of School Reform News (@SchoolReformNews)
- Ben DeGrow (@bendegrow) the Sr. Education Policy Analyst at the Education Policy Center of The Independence Institute (@i2idotorg). (I believe he’s joining us. If that isn’t the case, I apologize in advance).
I’ll update with a live link for the Twitter Rally (or you can just follow the hashtag #StopCommonCore) and as the
