Coverage of the Core

The New York Times and The Washington Post have been covering the Common Core a LOT lately. You’ll see, if you read them all, they provide different view points. Here are the ones that stood out to me.

• Caution and the Common Core by the Editorial Board
• Common Core: Assessing the real level of support by Valerie Strauss
• Common Core supporters back moratorium on new tests’ high stakes by Valerie Strauss
• The tea party is wrong on the Common Core curriculum by Gov. Jack Markell
• Who’s Minding the Schools? by Andrew Hacker and Claudia Dreifus

The New York Times Learning Network has a space for teachers to weigh-in on the Common Core. Click here for more information.
