Common Core Standards Update
From deutsch29 : Mercedes Schneider’s EduBlog
On February 6, 2014, I posted my first of three installments regarding the state of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in statehouses nationwide– and even in the US Senate. Reaction to CCSS includes the Huckabee-promoted “rebranding” of the CCSS “product” as well as CCSS investigation, testing delay, and prohibition/voiding.
Quite the spectrum of reaction.
In the first installment, I included information on twelve states: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, and South Carolina.
This second installment concerns the state of CCSS in an additional twelve states: Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and Tennessee.
From a research perspective, I consider CCSS a case study in how not to create and implement education standards.
What an expensive mess is this CCSS havoc.
Let’s dive in, shall we?
