[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't worry, Common Core will tank MoCo property values across the board so all that will be left are people who can't move.  Then your utopia of everyone having the same and equal skills, discipline, work ethic and smarts will be realized. [/quote]

You are aware that the Common Core is a NATIONAL program, aren't you?  Well done Einstein![/quote]

Common Core is a group of standards K-12.  It's not a program.

Systems create curriculum FRAMEWORKS around the standards. Standards are grouped by unit, and units can change from system to system, depending upon how experts (however you define an expert) view the standards.

Teachers create lessons based on the frameworks.

The standards are quite rigorous - much harder than the CLGs that drove testing in the past.  So if the gap grows, it's due to the fact that 1) teachers are prepared to handle the CC standards and 2) they aren't given the time to figure them out.

They are to be used holistically, which means that literacy is a schoolwide effort - an area that's not handled solely by ELA teachers.

so much to learn, PPs  . . .

I wish I could train you, but I don't have the time!
