[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Common Core is copyrighted. Nothing can be deleted, and only up to 1o percent added. Like it or lump it. [/quote] Just because it is copyrighted doesn't mean it cannot be changed. Individual states can't change it, but it can indeed be changed. But I think a better change would be to lobby to include more students on proper alternative assessments. If it is true that alternative assessments like the Dynamic Learning Maps are essentially for kids who are severely intellectually disabled (IQs of less than 55 for example) then it is not the right assessment for students who have average or above average intelligence but also have severe learning disabilities and are several years below grade level and it isn't expected that they will ever catch up. So there needs to be some alternative assessment for this group as well, however small a group it may be. [/quote]
