This article by William Schmidt, a University Distinguished Professor at Michigan State University, examines how teachers allocate their time and the need for change in implementation. It explores the level of preparedness of 4th and 5th grade teachers in teaching common fractions, whole numbers, number sets, and concepts of 3D geometry. It also discusses the readiness of middle school teachers in teaching linear equations, coordinates, and lines. The article further analyzes logarithmic equations and the percentage of future teachers reaching international benchmarks in the Russian Federation, Chinese Taipei, and the United States. It also delves into the alignment of one textbook series to the Common Core State Standards in grades 2 and 5, as well as the coverage and coherence within the same textbook series. Lastly, it explores the allocation of time from three sources.
