[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here.  Most of my colleagues don't like the way it was implemented so quickly.  They are writing the curriculum very quickly and not giving it to us until the last minute.  We don't have time to prepare and we end up making a lot of the materials on our own.  So we are working overtime times 100 and we are burnt out.  I think it is a bit too ambitious myself but I teach in a Title 1 school.[/quote]

I agree, but it's like that with most curriculum- you're told what to teach, but not given the materials/resources to teach it. IMO, this is one of the biggest problems in education. But at least with Common Core, I feel like since it is so widespread, in a few years you will start seeing a plethora of textbooks and materials developed that support it. [/quote]

I started a thread awhile back asking if teachers would prefer to have curriculum materials or make their own up and overwhelmingly was told that teachers preferred to make their own materials and not be given anything by the county they work for. Which is it? I agree that making your own materials every day is a bit too much when you have to teach them too. No one needs a teacher trying to be so innovative every day that he or she spends more time planning than actually teaching.[/quote]
