Not Everyone Loves White House Title I/Standards Proposal - Politics K-12 - Education Week - 0 views

  • To be sure, under the president's proposal states could opt not to join in a common standards effort and instead work with their higher education institutions to draft rigorous, college- and career-ready standards. But who will decide whether state's standards actually meet that definition? Yesterday, Secretary Duncan said that's still being worked out. But if the answer ends up being the U.S. Department of Education, it might be much harder to get Republicans on board with the proposal.
