What evidence do you have for the Common Core standards supporting continued testing as required by NCLB? (I'm not sure how standards can be in favor or against anything, but ok.) [/quote]

Go read the Development link.  Pay careful attention to Action IV.

Is this the report from 2008 that you're referring to? http://www.corestandards.org/assets/0812BENCHMARKING.pdf

Here are the Actions:

[i]Action 1: Upgrade state standards by adopting a common core of internationally benchmarked
standards in math and language arts for grades K-12 to ensure that students are equipped with the
necessary knowledge and skills to be globally competitive.
Action 2: Leverage states’ collective influence to ensure that textbooks, digital media, curricula, and
assessments are aligned to internationally benchmarked standards and draw on lessons from highperforming
nations and states.
Action 3: Revise state policies for recruiting, preparing, developing, and supporting teachers and
school leaders to reflect the human capital practices of top-performing nations and states around the
world.
Action 4: Hold schools and systems accountable through monitoring, interventions, and support to
ensure consistently high performance, drawing upon international best practices.
Action 5: Measure state-level education performance globally by examining student achievement
and attainment in an international context to ensure that, over time, students are receiving the education
they need to compete in the 21st century economy.[/i]
Now, what was your point again?[/quote]
