News Media and Citizen Journalists: Here’s Your Chance to See #Commoncore Delphi in Action

Find out what is happening in HB1490 work groups. Bring your camera. Tell the truth.



A citizen journalist video taped one of the work groups gathered last week in Jefferson City to write Missouri standards, rather than adopting the privately non-governmental organizations’ written Common Core State Standards that have no accountability to the legislature and taxpayers. Concerned Women of America published the video on its site:


As you can see from the short clip, it was an extraordinary meeting and contained many aspects of a Delphi meeting. Note to the media: Many of the groups are meeting again this week on Thursday, October 2 and Friday, October 3. The public is invited to attend any meeting and video recordings are allowed.  Math and ELA workgroups are in the Jefferson Building where DESE’s offices are located.
List of meetings:
  • Math 6-12 is meeting Thursday and Friday. Time will be updated.
  • ELA K-5 Friday 9am-?
  • ELA 6-12 meets in the 5th floor main conference room 10 am Thursday and 8 am on Friday
  • Science 6-12  meeting in the Truman Building Rm. 400 on both Thursday and Friday at the same times as last week… 9-4 on Thursday and 8-3 on Friday.  Hoping to be able to arrange a meeting with the Elementary Science group and if that comes together then I don’t know where that would take place.
