Among the national elit...Catherine, you nailed it!<br /><br />Among the national elites, the point of the Common Core was to get a national curriculum and a national test: a big debate was how to reconcile the two consortiums scores!<br /><br />At a local level, the Common Core suggests more coherence in progression and gave state elites joy in a more "reform-based" approach to math. The reduced number of standards (which is OK with me!) allows reform math more time to work its magic (great in demos - I've seen a CGI teacher perform extraordinarily well).<br /><br />After K-5 or K-8, CC becomes a bit strange. All standards are kept plus the renewed emphasis on modeling (not a bad thing, but more(?)).orangemathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05099727076265177042noreply@blogger.com
