Wow, 24 hours for the MoCo board to receive, read and vote on Curriculum 2.0 that publishing/edu giant Pearson created and offered to give a cut of sales to MoCo.

Yuck. [/quote]

Pearson didn't create it. I know several people who worked on The writing team. They all work (and have always worked) for MCPS. Pearson basically bought what they wrote after it was written to then edit and package up themselves (though differently than MCPS uses it) and sell to other districts.[/quote]

yeah - Team of teachers designed the lessons.

I am designing a framework right now as a consultant for private schools - all based on the Common Core Standards.

It's a fabulous change!  As a teacher myself, I'm proud to say that I'm delighted people are finally embracing critical thinking skills.  [/quote]
