Common Core Standards

shared by Elizabeth McCarthy on 12 Dec 12 - No Cached
  • Effective educational technology strategies that link the three Ts—teaching, technology, and use of time—can enhance and accelerate systemic planning efforts focused at whole-school reform and improved student outcomes. And although some districts have made great progress, much more needs to be done to achieve the higher standards and to ensure that every child graduates ready for college and a career.
  • But revolutionizing education may finally be under way, fueled by the Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI). At the heart of this ambitious initiative is the conviction that all students, regardless of race, income status, or zip code, deserve an education that prepares them for success in today’s job market and postsecondary institutions. Through the CCSSI, states worked together to design grade-level expectations in English language arts and math to ensure that all students would be college and career ready by the time they graduated from high school
  • Systemic and effective use of technology and digital learning can connect middle and high school students to better teaching and learning experiences while also addressing three major challenges facing the nation’s education system: access to good teaching, tight budgets, and boosting student achievement. But simply slapping a netbook on top of a textbook will not lead to improvements. Effective educational technology strategies must link the “three Ts”—teaching, technology, and use of time—with overall whole-school reform strategies and proven pedagogical practices to accelerate the pace of improvement and ensure that all students benefit from the opportunity that digital learning offers.
