Latest Brookings Institute Commentary: It ain't pretty Common Core lovers:
[b]
A final word.[/b]  When the 2014 BCR was released, many CCSS supporters commented that it is too early to tell the effects of Common Core.  The point that states may need more time operating under CCSS to realize its full effects certainly has merit.  But that does not discount everything states have done so far—including professional development, purchasing new textbooks and other instructional materials, designing new assessments, buying and installing computer systems, and conducting hearings and public outreach—as part of implementing the standards.[b]  Some states are in their fifth year of implementation. [/b] It could be that states need more time, but innovations can also produce their biggest “pop” earlier in implementation rather than later.  [b]Kentucky was one of the earliest states to adopt and implement CCSS.  That state’s NAEP fourth grade reading score declined in both 2009-2011 and 2011-2013.  The optimism of CCSS supporters is understandable, but a one and a half point NAEP gain might be as good as it gets for CCSS.[/b][/quote]
