Linda Darling-Hammond on the Common Core Standards by Diane Ravitch - School Leadership... - 0 views

  • Linda Darling-Hammond on the Common Core Standards By dianerav October 24, 2013 //
  • My view about what we should be doing re: curriculum and assessments can be found in the last chapter of my book, The Flat World and Education, where I describe how many other countries create thoughtful curriculum guidance as part of an integrated teaching and learning system
  • educators are regularly convened over several years to revise the national or state curriculum expectations

  • Then there is an equally careful process of developing curriculum materials and assessments
  • initial implementation process takes about the same amount of time and deeply involves educators all along the way.
  • The development process takes at least 3 years
  • What we should do is take time – at least the next 3 years – to develop curriculum resources that teachers can select, adapt, try out, and refine together in collegial professional development settings within and across their schools. We should use the standards as guideposts and not straitjackets. And we should develop robust performance-based assessments of the kind I describe in my book that provide exciting opportunities for students to demonstrate their learning and for teachers to be engaged in development and scoring – used for information and improvement, not for sanctions and punishments

5 Things Every Parent Needs to Know About The Common Core - School Leadership 2.0 - 0 views

  • 1: Common Core is a set of standards, not a curriculum
  • The Common Core provides a destination, and schools and teachers are free to chart their own course there. This illustrates an important distinction between standards and curriculum. If you imagine standards as a destination, the curriculum is the map to get there. A curriculum outlines the sequence of topics that teachers will cover on their way to the final goal of the standards, building from simpler tasks to more difficult and complex ones.
  • 2: Common Core began as a bipartisan effort born out of No Child Left Behind
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • 3: There is more to the Common Core than just standards
  • 4: The Common Core has become politicized
  • 5: The Common Core may or may not ultimately affect your child
