  • common sense and the Common Core.
  • Most states will have to rethink their approach to teaching critical analysis of all kinds of information, as the standards require that students be able to: Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source, and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism; Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research; and Interpret mathematical results in the context of a situation and reflect on whether the results make sense, possibly improving the model if it has not served its purpose.
