Moving at the Speed of Creativity - Common Core Implementation Guidelines for Leaders: ... - 0 views

  •  
    I appreciate the critical analysis Dr. Fryer provides in this article. There is so much to think about when it comes to the Core. Blind buy-in won't work, nor will vehement opposition. Let's look at all sides and move forward in a way that best suits students. Dr. Fryer is correct, this should NOT include huge emphasis on high stakes testing.
