[quote=Anonymous]As others have stated, Common Core is not a curriculum. They are standards. The curriculum is developed by your district to meet the standards, and the teachers probably put together the lesson plans to meet the curriculum guildelines. So, how DCPS implements the standards can be different than how other districts do it. That said, CC seeks to focus on critical thinking skills earlier on in the grades. I do see this in my DC's work. Some of it is pretty challenging. It requires a lot of writing - explaining your thought processes, etc.. not just in Arts/Languages but in math as well. There's good/bad points about all the writing in math, IMO. The other day I was reading how AP and SAT tests will be changing in the future due to the upcoming ES kids learning under CC.[/quote]
