I don’t know if you saw the press release, but here it is. Superintendent Dorn has provisionally accepted the common core standards in English language arts and mathematics. We will learn more about what this means for our alignment work when a report is given to the legislature in January 2011 comparing the core standards with our current standards. We can only hope at this time that our new secondary math adoption is as aligned with these standards as it is with what will soon be our "old" standards.
At the same time there are two national consortia competing for the bulk of a $350 million federal grant to develop tests aligned with these core standards. Over time, these assessments could have much more influence over what is done in public schools than the standards.
