[quote=Anonymous]I'm an elementary school teacher at a public school. I like common core and many of my colleagues to as well, especially the younger teachers. The reading standards have not really changed. Math has gotten more conceptual, but that was a move by the NCTM prior to the common core coming out. I especially love the new math standards. We do not test common core until third grade. It takes a half hour to do LA and a half hour to do Math. As far as benchmarks, we treat them like benchmarks. Kiddos who come in not knowing what a book is are usually the ones that start out slow and make huge jumps. We do not hold them to making the benchmarks every year, but it is useful to know where there are to get them the extra services they may need. [/quote]
