Zhao on Entrepreneurship, the Common Core, and Bacon - BookMarks - Education Week - 0 views
-
Dr. Yong Zhao doesn't like the Common Core standards. And in this interview he explains why. I've said it many times, what we need is some serious critical thinking and dialogue about the Core where ALL voices are listened to--voices from both sides of the argument. So even though I'm optimistic about the CCSS, I still enjoy reading articles like this one. I like bacon, too.

Grant Wiggins is able to express so many topics in a way that makes total sense. Here he writes about the idea of national standards and how they still are too "one-size-fits-all" for his tastes. I would definitely agree.

On this page you'll find detailed documents the U of A is calling "progressions." They lay out how the CCSS move from one year to the next in mathematics. They appear to be a goldmine. Very excited to explore these.

I am, you could say, a Common Core advocate. I'm in favor of the standards...but the reason I'm in favor of them is because I see them as an opportunity to shift the way we teach. There are, however, other things to consider, so I like to make sure I read as much as I can about the opposing point of view, that the standards are NOT a good idea. This article certainly makes a compelling case and is worth the read.

This article goes in depth to examine what the CCSS and the Transcontinental Railroad have in common. There's more to it that you might think. This is a lengthy piece (5 pages) but worth the read if you are still trying to understand how to wrap your head around all the changes that come along with the CCSS.
