[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]No. I'm not sure you understand the meaning of the word "curriculum." A curriculum is a program of study -- i.e. the HOW you're going to learn something. Common Core merely sets agreed-upon standards of what should be learned. A curriculum, by definition, does prescribe how to teach something. What to read, the pedagogy, what courses have to be taken, the content of the courses, etc. etc.

Maybe you should start with a little education yourself before you involve yourself in this conversation. You're out of your league. [/quote]

I'm not the PP you are responding to, but you are dead wrong.  Curriculum is WHAT is taught.  A Program of study is WHAT is taught.  You need to do a little research.[/quote]

Right. Common Core doesn't prescribe what is taught or how to teach it. It only sets standards of what children need to know at certain points.

You obviously don't understand what "curriculum" means. The curriculum describes the planned interaction between teacher and students.

The standards are minimum standards, or goals. They set expectations.
